All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

You can experience a wonderful sunset.
All-you-can-drink is the best!
It's reassuring that there are restrooms available.
Since the sea breeze is strong, it's recommended to bring a jacket.

素晴らしいサンセットの時間を体験できます。
飲み放題で最高！
トイレ付きなのも安心です。
海風が強いので上着持参をお勧めします。

The waves were not high, and it was comfortable. We saw dolphins shortly after departing, which really boosted everyone's spirits! I think people of all ages can enjoy this. There were even pregnant women on board. If you're worried about seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand for peace of mind.

波も高くなくて快適でした。
出港してすぐくらいにイルカを見られて、みんなのテンションが上がりました！
幅広い年齢層の方が楽しめると思います。
妊婦さんもいらっしゃいました。
船酔いが心配な方は、酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が安心かもしれません。

The staff was friendly, and we enjoyed the activities. However, some people on the same bus were being excessively noisy both on the bus and on the boat, which made us uncomfortable. There are people who want to rest on the shared bus, and it was too loud, making it difficult for us to have conversations. I understand that it might be difficult to address this on the spot, so I would appreciate it if you could raise awareness about this in your guidelines or instructions.

スタッフは親切でアクティビティも楽しめました。ただ、同じバスの方たちがバスの中や船内で度を越えた騒ぎ方をしていて不快な気持ちになりました。乗り合いバスの中は、休みたい人もいますし、騒がし過ぎて、バスや、船内では。私達の会話もほとんどできませんでした。その場での注意は難しいと思いますので、注意事項などで喚起していただけますと幸いです。

We had an early morning meeting, but they arrived on time to pick us up. The guidance was in English only, and since my English skills are non-existent, I couldn't understand the conversation at all, but it seemed like the guide was doing their best. (I'm sorry...) It was a mixed taxi, but the air conditioning was extremely strong, so even someone like me who gets hot easily was shivering, so I think a jacket is essential. The weather was nice, and even though it was February, we could see the beautiful sunrise.

朝早くからの集合でしたが、、時間通りにお迎えきていただけました。英語のみの案内なので、当方英語力皆無で、トーク内容は全然わかりませんでしたが、一生懸命ガイドしていただいてるようでした。（すみません。。）混合タクシーでしたが、めちゃめちゃ冷房が効いていて、暑がりの私でも震えましたので上着は必須だと思います。
お天気も良く、２月の時期でしたが朝日もきれいにみえました。

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a private tour since we were the only ones there, which allowed for some flexibility. Along the way, we learned about Hawaii, and it was enjoyable. I also recommend the mini tour, where we were able to purchase local coffee beans at the coffee factory next to the North Shore Soap Factory.

はからずも、私たちしかおらず、貸し切りになったので、ある程度融通がきいたツアーでした。道中もハワイのことを教えていただき、楽しかったです。ミニツアーもおすすめでノースショア・ソープ・ファクトリー横のコーヒーファクトリーで現地のコーヒー豆を購入することができました。

This was my first experience snorkeling abroad, so I felt very reassured by having a Japanese guide. Unlike regular beaches, Hanauma Bay offers a unique experience with entry restrictions and mandatory viewing of an educational video upon entry. I encountered sea turtles three times, and I was able to take great photos and videos with the rented camera. The fish in the coral reefs were large and impressive. Although the actual snorkeling lasted about an hour, I think it was just the right amount of exertion for us in our mid-fifties. It was truly enjoyable! Since it was November, I followed the guide's advice and wore a wetsuit, so I didn't feel cold at all. Additionally, I was advised to take motion sickness medication beforehand, which helped me avoid feeling unwell even when the waves were high. I really appreciated the guide's helpful advice.

海外でのシュノーケリングは初体験だったので、日本語ガイド付きという点でとても安心でした。また、普通のビーチと違い、入場制限や入場時の啓発ビデオ視聴が義務付けられているハナウマ湾ならではの体験ができました。ウミガメとの遭遇も３回もあり、レンタルしたカメラでもいい写真や動画を撮ることができました。また、サンゴ礁の魚たちはサイズが大きくて、見ごたえがありました。シュノーケリング自体は正味１時間ですが、５０代半ばの私たちにとってはちょうどいい負荷だったと思います。本当に楽しかったです！１１月ということで、ガイドさんのアドバイスにしたがいウエットスーツを着用したので寒さも感じませんでしたし、事前に酔い止めを勧められて服用していたので、波が高くても気分が悪くなることもありませんでした。ガイドさんの適切なアドバイスがとてもありがたかったです。

It was my first time doing ocean activities in Hawaii, and it was amazing! I was moved to see Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the water. I will definitely make a reservation the next time I go to Hawaii. I also plan to book a sunset catamaran next time 😊.

ハワイでの海のアクティビティは初めてでしたが、とても良かったです！
ダイアモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチを海から見れて感動しました。
ハワイに行く際は必ず予約します。
次はサンセットのカタマランも予約しようと思います😊

The tour was fantastic, with highlights including潮吹き (spouting horn), Sunset Beach, North Shore, encounters with seals along the way, Haleiwa Town, and Matsumoto Shave Ice. The guide's Japanese was also very good, making it a tour full of amazing sights.

潮吹き、サンセット海岸、ノースショア、途中にアザラシとの遭遇、ハレイワタウン、マツモトシェイブアイスとガイドさんの日本語もとても上手で最高の見所いっぱいのツアーでした。

I was busy filming a video, so I couldn't take pictures of the fireworks, but watching the fireworks while drinking beer on a dark boat was the best!

ビデオ撮るの忙しくて、花火の写真は撮れてませんが暗い船の上からビールを飲みながら花火鑑賞は最高でした

This was my first trip abroad and my first time in Hawaii, and I participated alone!

The shuttle from the Honolulu area was easy to identify, as you can see in the photo! The driver was full of humor, and even though I couldn't speak English, I was able to communicate with him.

Upon arrival, we first checked in using a tablet, and then there was a fitting for the specialized equipment and a briefing about diving.

We took a propeller plane up to an altitude of 4000-5000 meters, so I wouldn't recommend wearing short sleeves and shorts if you're sensitive to the cold or not feeling 100%.

We started the dive with a countdown of 3.2.1.Go. We swung our bodies to the left and right during the countdown, and I really liked the speedy countdown, which felt like piston transport! Even if they were asked if they were ready and still said "No," some people were half-forced to say "Yes" and dive anyway.

During the dive, we descended from above the clouds towards the ground, so the unique gravity, wind, and visibility might be challenging for some. I love activities like this, so I wasn't scared or nervous at all, but I recommend trying it at least once for the experience.

It was an incredibly exciting skydiving experience, and I would do it again!

初海外、初ハワイで1人で参加しました！

ホノルルエリアから送迎は、
写真のとおり分かりやすい車両でした！
ドライバーがユーモアに溢れた方で、
英語が話せない私でもコミュニケーションをとれるくらいでした。

現地に到着すると、
まずタブレット端末で受付をし
専用器材のサイズ合わせやダイビングに関するレクチャーなどがあります。

プロペラ機で上空4000-5000mまでいくので、寒がりな方や体調が100点でない場合は
半袖ハーパンなどはおすすめしません。

3.2.1.Goのカウントダウンでダイブを開始します。
左右に大きく体を振りながらカウントダウンをするのですが、
ピストン輸送のごとくかなりスピーディなカウントダウンなので私は好きでしたね笑
準備できたか？と聞かれてまだNoだとしても半強制Yesでダイブしていた方もいました

ダイブ中は雲の上から地表に向かっていくので、
独特の重力、風力、視界のため苦手な方もいそうです。
私はこういうアクティビティが大好きなので怖くもなく緊張もしませんでしたが、
経験のために一度は飛んでみることをおすすめします。

非常にエキサイティングなスカイダイビング、また飛びます！笑

This was my first experience with skydiving, and I was truly moved by the breathtaking 360-degree views of the ocean, mountains, and sky on the North Shore. My father, who is in his late 60s, was initially hesitant to participate, but afterward he smiled and said, "It was amazing," which made me really happy. I'm glad we opted for the video footage as well; my mother and wife, who didn't participate, were very pleased with it.

今回がスカイダイビング初体験でしたが、ノースショアの海、山、空が織りなす360度最高の景色に、心から感動しました。
60代後半の父も初めは参加を迷っていましたが、終わった後は「最高だった」と笑顔で、私も嬉しくなりました。
オプションのビデオ映像も付けて良かったです。参加しなかった母と妻がとても喜んでくれました。

The hotel in Honolulu was very conveniently located, making access easy. I was able to enjoy yoga comfortably under the pleasant shade of trees, which refreshed both my mind and body. It was a wonderfully enjoyable and perfect time!

ホノルルの宿泊ホテルから近かったため、アクセスが非常に便利でした。
心地よい木陰の下で、のびのびとヨガを楽しむことができ、心身ともにリフレッシュできました。大変気持ちの良い、最高の時間でした！

Since we went quite far from the shore, we were able to enjoy the beauty of Diamond Head and the entire coastline while taking in the beautiful sea! Inside the boat, lively pop music was playing, creating a vibrant atmosphere that felt very international!

沖からだいぶ遠くまで行くのでダイヤモンドヘッドの美しさと海岸全体を眺めながら、きれいな海を楽しむことができました！
船内はポップな音楽が流れており、にぎやかで海外の雰囲気を楽しめると思います！

The instructor was cheerful and kept us entertained throughout the experience! I forgot about my nerves and fears right up until the moment we jumped. The time spent in the air flew by, but it gave me emotions and excitement that I had never felt in my life before. It was my first skydiving experience that made me want to jump again in other regions.

インストラクターの方が陽気で終始楽しませてくれる方でした！
飛ぶ直前まで、緊張や恐怖は忘れていました。
飛んでいる時間はあっという間でしたが、これまでの人生にない感動と興奮を与えてくれました。
他の地域でもまた飛びたいと思わせてくれる初めてのスカイダイビング体験でした。

Driving the buggy myself was so much fun! Since there were no other Japanese people besides our couple, I was a bit worried about my English, but we had an instructor for every four groups, and there was also a video explanation in Japanese, so I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind.

自分で運転するバギーは楽しすぎました！
私たちカップル以外に日本人がいなかったため、英語に不安がありましたが、4組に1人のインストラクターがつき、日本語の説明動画もあったので安心してツアーに参加できました。

I'm not good at marine sports, but I was invited by a friend and participated. We paddled a canoe and were able to go to deep parts of the ocean that we wouldn't have dared to go to on our own. Riding the waves was fun, and the scenery was beautiful—it was the best! The instructor was also good at Japanese, which made me feel at ease!

マリンスポーツは苦手ですが友達に誘われて参加しました。
カヌーをこいで自分たちだけでは怖くて行けない海の深いところまで行けて、波に乗るのも楽しく、景色も綺麗で最高でした！
インストラクターの方も日本語が上手で安心しました！

I think it can be enjoyed by everyone from small children to adults. The fusion of a show and circus makes it even more enjoyable if you understand English.

小さい子供から大人まで楽しめると思います。
ショーとサーカスの融合で英語がわかればさらに楽しめると思います。

For movie fans who want to experience a different side of Hawaii, I recommend this. I think you'll enjoy it even more if you understand English.

映画のファン、いつもと違うハワイを味わいたい方にはおすすめです。
英語がわかれば更に楽しめると思います。

Went early had breakfast - super easy check-in- very knowledgeable and helpful employees- great picture takers as well 😊 . Wish we had signed up for more. Well worth it. Enjoy!!

Everything went smoothly-tour operator picked us up on time at designated spot and returned us at appropriate time, and gave us a narrative talk about the area enroute to Diamond Head. The destination was exceptional -with amazing views of the inland and coastline. One tip- it appears that the later you go in the day the busier the trail gets. We left at 8:30 am and the crowds were manageable. If you're in Honolulu-definitely check this beauty out-and plan to get a good cardiovascular workout in climbing to the top!

Our driver was friendly and on time. As first-timers to the North Shore, we appreciated the helpful tips and recommendations he shared when we arrived, and he even dropped us off at the beach after the others were dropped off in town.

The trip felt stress free and comfortable, would recommend!

It's an early morning plan, but it's very helpful that they come to pick you up in front of the hotel. The sunrise from Diamond Head was amazing! They also stop by Leonard's, which I highly recommend because the malasadas are incredibly delicious. All the beaches were beautiful and very soothing. Our guide, Jonathan, took photos for us as well. He was very attentive, always providing a footrest when getting in and out of the car. The conversation was enjoyable, and I ended up chatting with him like a friend. He mentioned that he handles this plan every day, so I think those who participate in the future can feel reassured.

For lunch, you can choose whatever you like, and I had Giovanni's garlic shrimp, which was absolutely delicious. I was very satisfied with the nuts and coffee I was able to buy as souvenirs. They also drop you off back at the hotel. This plan does not include tips, so I gave him a tip at the end before saying goodbye.

This time, I participated with my child. It was a fun day with efficient sightseeing. Thank you very much! Mahalo!

朝早いプランですが、ホテル前にお迎えにきてくれるのでとても助かります
ダイヤモンドヘッドからのサンライズは最高でした♪レナーズにも寄ってくれます。マラサダとっても美味しいのでオススメです
どのビーチもとてもキレイで癒されました
ガイドのジョナサンが写真も撮ってくれます。
車の乗り降り時は足置き台を毎回出してくれ、とても丁寧でした。
お話も楽しいのでこちらもつい友達のように話してしまいました。毎日このプランを担当していると言っていたので、これから参加される方は安心だとおもいます。
お昼は好きなものを選んでたべれますが、ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプを食べました。最高に美味しかったです
お土産のナッツもコーヒーも購入できて大満足でした
帰りもホテル前まで送ってもらえます
こちらはチップ込みのプランではないので、最後にチップを渡してお別れしました
今回は親子2人で参加しました。
効率よく観光できて楽しい一日でした
ありがとうございました！
マハロ！

One in a Lifetime Experience with the most beautiful Views

My family does horseback riding, so I wanted to try it in Hawaii as well! This was my first experience riding, but even someone like me was able to ride for two hours without any trouble. For experienced riders, just walking might not be enough, but the scenery is amazing as you get to ride across vast lands that you wouldn't normally experience! I'm glad I went.

家族が乗馬をやっているのでハワイでも乗りたい！ということで行きました。私は乗馬初体験でしたが、こんな私でもトラブルなく無事2時間乗っていられました。経験者には歩くだけで物足りないかもしれませんが。しかし景色は普段味わえない広大な土地を歩くので最高です！行ってよかったです。

The hotel pickup was on time. A friendly driver took us to the location while providing sightseeing information. The weather at Hanauma Bay was perfect. Since the number of visitors is limited, we were able to enjoy snorkeling in a spacious and relaxed environment. The return pickup time was also accurate, allowing us to spend our time efficiently and as planned.

ホテルのピックアップは予定時間通り。フレンドリーなドライバーが観光案内をしながら現地まで送ってくれました。ハナウマ湾の天気は最高でした。
入場者数が制限されているので、ゆったりとしたスペースでシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
帰りのお迎え時間も正確で、無駄なく予定通りの時間を過ごすことができました。

I was really looking forward to being able to do beach yoga in Hawaii! The difficulty level is friendly for beginners, and regulars or those who want to challenge themselves can choose more difficult poses. A Japanese instructor explained the poses in English and then provided additional explanations in Japanese. The feeling of instability underfoot on the grass, the sensation of stones and sand, the coldness of the rain, the pleasantness of the wind, and the sound of the waves and splashes made it hard to close my eyes. It was so much fun. I had a great experience.

ハワイでビーチヨガができること、大変楽しみにしていました！初心者にも優しい難易度、常連の方やチャレンジしたい方は難易度を上げるポーズを選択ができます。日本人の先生が英語でのポーズの説明、その後に日本語で補足をしてくださいました。芝生の上で感じる足元の不安定さ、石や砂の感触、雨の冷たさ、風の心地よさ、波の音水しぶきまで、目を閉じるのが勿体無いくらい。とても楽しかったです。いい経験ができました。

I have seen both "O" and "K" before, and the content of this performance is on par with "O." The 90 minutes flew by in no time. Since it was a weekday in November, the venue was about 70% full. There were empty seats on the sides, making it relatively easy to find seats. I watched from the front row, and it was very impressive, but my neck got tired. I recommend sitting in the 4th or 5th row from the front.

今までに「オー」と「カー」を観てきましたが、公演の内容は「オー」に匹敵するほどのレベル。あっという間に90分の時間が過ぎていきました。
11月の平日ということで会場は7割程度の入り。脇の席が空いていて、比較的に席は取りやすいようでした。最前列の席で観覧し迫力満点でしたが、首が疲れます。前から4〜5列目がお薦めです。

You definitely have to try the Furifuri Chicken, and the Matsumoto Shave Ice was delicious too. It's a tour where you can leisurely explore Haleiwa.

フリフリチキンは是非食べてもらいたい、マツモトシェイブアイスも美味しかった、ゆっくりハレイワを散策できるツアー

Captain Nick and crew showed us a great time on our fourth consecutive annual November sunset cruise. Each one is a little different vibe. Sunday appears to be the best day for a more peaceful vibe. Great interaction with Captain and crew. The food is OK (catered boxes) but we started scheduling a post-cruise restaurant dinner last year at nearby Fresco and enjoyed that again this year. We plan to take this cruise every year!

It was a bit different from the sandbar I had in mind, but my family who accompanied me seemed to enjoy it. I thought the staff's response was very good. I wish the light snack donuts had been malasadas.

思っていたサンドバーとは少し違っていましたが同行していた家族は、それなりに楽しめたようです。スタッフさん達の対応はとても良かったと思いました。軽食のドーナツがマラサダだと良かったなとおもいました。
