All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

It was a long-awaited Segway experience in Hawaii. I had a fun ride while enjoying the wonderful views at Ala Moana Park along the coast. They even made a movie summarizing the experience, which became a great memory!

ハワイでの久しぶりのセグウェイ体験。
海沿いのアラモアナパークで素晴らしい景色を楽しみながら、楽しいライドでした。
体験をまとめたムービーまで作成いただき、とてもいい思い出になりました！

I had to wait quite a bit because some people didn't arrive on time as we were going around the hotels. The shuttle service was included, and there was an explanation at the entrance, along with assistance on how to use the lockers. I thought the stay would be short, but since it wasn't too crowded, I was able to enjoy the slides a lot and was satisfied.

ホテルを順に回るので時間に来ない人がいてだいぶ待たされた。
送迎付き、入り口で説明があり、ロッカーの利用方法なども一緒にきてやってくれる。
滞在時間は短いかなと思ったけど、そこまで混んでなかったのでスライダーもかなり利用できて満足です。

I took the shuttle bus from the Sheraton Hotel. The seats were unreserved and the air conditioning was quite strong. When we got off the bus, only the Japanese participants were called and given an explanation of the itinerary in Japanese. The tour itself was explained only in English, but the atmosphere was enjoyable.

シェラトンホテルから送迎バスで向かいました。車内は自由席でエアコンは冷房強め。
バスを降りると日本人だけ呼ばれて日本語で行程などの説明があります。ツアー自体は英語の説明のみでしたが、雰囲気は楽しかったです。

The participants in the tour were mostly young people and families, and as a senior couple, we felt a bit out of place at first. However, driven by our long-held dream of swimming with the honu, we decided to join the tour.

Our experience was amazing! We were truly able to swim next to the honu. There were also various fish of all sizes nearby, allowing us to have the experience we had always dreamed of.

We also tried stand-up paddleboarding. I fell into the ocean several times, but it was fun, and while laughing, I managed to stand up eventually.

The staff engaged with each participant, and we had a really enjoyable time. I'm so glad we took the plunge and participated!

一緒のツアーに参加された方は、予想通り若い方たちや家族連れの方がほとんどで、シニア夫婦の私たちはちょっと気後れするかなと思っていたのですが、長年の夢だったホヌと一緒に泳ぎたいという思いから、思い切って参加してみました。
感想　最高でした！
本当にホヌの隣で泳ぐことができました。ほかにも大小さまざまな魚たちも近くにいて、あこがれていた体験ができました。
SUPにも挑戦しました。何度も海に落ちましたが、それも楽しく、あははと笑っているうちに何とか立つことができるようにはなりました。
スタッフの方からの参加者それぞれへの声掛けもあり、本当に楽しい時間を過ごせました。
思い切って参加して本当に良かったです。

I have seen Cirque du Soleil in Odaiba once, but I think the show in Waikiki was more impressive because the distance was closer and it had more impact. The performance was breathtaking and moving.

お台場でも一度シルクドソレイユを見たことがありますが、ワイキキのショーの方が距離が近くて迫力があったと思います。パフォーマンスは圧巻で感動しました。

Driving a buggy myself while touring movie filming locations was amazing. It took about two hours to joyfully explore the vast grounds. I ended up covered in dust from the swirling sand, but that gave me a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment, which was fantastic. The staff provided explanations about the area, but I couldn't understand English, so I would have appreciated a Japanese guide.

自分でバギーを運転しての映画の撮影スポット巡りは最高でした。広大な敷地を約2時間かけて爽快に周ります。巻き上がる砂煙で全身がドロドロになりますが、それはそれでやりきった感と充実感があって最高でした。
スタッフにより、現地の説明があるのですが、英語が分からず、日本語ガイドがあれば、嬉しかったです、、、

Originally, I was planning to see a hula dance show. There are various types of hula, and while I was unsure, I discovered Auana. I was intrigued by the fact that it was a newly released program that could only be seen in Hawaii, so I made a reservation. It had a somewhat circus-like image. However, when the show started, there was a story as well. The best seats were sold out, so I reserved the second-best option, which turned out to be the front row on the right side with my back to the stage. People of all ages can enjoy it. If you have time in your schedule, I definitely think you should see it.

もともと、フラダンスショーを見るつもりでした。フラも色々と種類があって迷っていたところ、アウアナを発見しました。まだ公開して間もないプログラム、ハワイでしか見れないというとこに関心を持ち予約しました。若干サーカスのイメージでした。
ところがショーが始まるとストーリーもありました。
一番いい席は完売で2番目のところを予約したところステージを背にして右の最前列でした。
老若男女が楽しめます。日程に時間ある方は絶対に見た方がいいと思います。

This tour was the perfect amount of time and offered so many different things to do. Nothing better than enjoying the day with your teenaged kids and they actually enjoyed being together. Thanks to everyone, especially the driver for the tubing/banana boat. So much fun!

Loved it , but wish we could’ve done more of Jurassic park stuff. But overall fun!

I can't speak English, but they explained things in an easy-to-understand way, allowing me to fly safely, enjoyably, and refreshingly. Towards the end, I felt a sense of unity with the unfamiliar foreigners, as if we were a family for a moment.

英会話はできないけど、わかりやすい言葉で説明して頂き、安全に楽しく、爽快に飛ぶことができました。
最後の方は知らない外国人達と一体感がうまれ、ひとときの家族の様でした。

The weather was great, and the feeling of riding a buggy through the great outdoors was incredible. The ocean, sky, and mountains offered a wonderful view. I heard it’s a filming location for various movies. I had an amazing time enjoying nature.

天気もよく、大自然の中バギーで滑走する気持ちよさたまらんですよー
海、空、山素晴らしい絶景
色々な映画のロケ地との事。
大自然を満喫できてサイコーでした。

As soon as the bus arrived, we were the first to enter, so we had our pick of beach chairs. I wished that on days when the park closes late, the return bus would also be later. Since it departs at 3 PM, we had to cut down on our lunch time, which felt too short for my kids who love the pool.

バス到着後すぐ、そのまま一番ノリで入場だったので、ビーチチェアも選び放題でした。
閉園時間が遅い日は帰りのバスも遅ければいいのになと思いました。15時発なのでお昼食べる時間を削り、プール大好きな子供にとってはあっという間でした。

The weather was perfect, and we had an amazing experience. We enjoyed a 1 hour and 30 minute dinner at Hyatt, and then the show started right after. It was truly a precious time to experience a real show up close! (I felt the show was longer than scheduled.) Our 6 and 10-year-old children were also completely satisfied with everything. The staff provided pleasant service as well. On our way back, we were lucky to see fireworks right in front of us at Waikiki Beach.

天候にも恵まれて、最高な体験ができました。
ハイアットのディナーを1h30m堪能し、そのままショーがスタート。
間近で本物のショーを体験でき、本当に貴重な時間でした！
（予定時間より長いショーだと感じました）
6才と10才の子ども達も全てに大満足してくれてました。
スタッフの方々も気持ち良いサービスを提供していただきました。
帰り際にワイキキビーチでの花火も目の前で見ることができ、ラッキーでした。

At 63 years old, I tried a Segway for the first time! They really took the time to teach me how to use it properly. After learning how to use it, we practiced thoroughly at the facility before heading out for a short tour. At Ala Moana Park, they provided plenty of explanations about the plants, history, and even added some humor. On the way back, I was given recommendations for many reasonably priced and delicious restaurants. It was truly a fun attraction!

63歳にして、初セグウェイ！！
最初に使い方を本当に丁寧に教えてくれます。
一通り使い方を教わった後、施設でしっかり練習してからの、ショートツーリングって感じです。アラモアナパークでは、植物やら歴史やらユーモアーたっぷりに説明してくれます。
また、帰りにはリーズナブルで美味しいレストランを、沢山ら教わりました。
本当に楽しいアトラクションでした。

It was difficult for me to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay on my own due to scheduling issues, so I took advantage of this plan that allowed me to have a reservation and enjoy my time at Hanauma Bay freely. I was anxious about my English speaking skills, but there was a guidance sheet in Japanese, and the driver was able to understand our limited English, which made communication enjoyable. The entrance fee was collected by the driver, and a participant from an English-speaking country paid for everyone.

Since it was my first time snorkeling, I borrowed a life jacket. In the early morning, it was a bit chilly, so the life jacket helped keep me warm and was also useful for snorkeling. Even in shallow areas, I could see fish swimming, including the humuhumunukunukuapua'a! I would like to request this again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.

自力でハナウマ湾の入場予約を取るには日程の都合で難しく、予約を取っていただける＋自由にハナウマ湾で遊べるこちらのプランを利用させていただきました。
英語のスピーキングに自信がなく不安でしたが、日本語での案内シートがありドライバーの方も私達の拙い英語の意味を汲み取ってくださり楽しくコミュニケーションが取れました。入場料金はドライバーさんが集め参加者の中にいた英語圏の方がまとめて支払ってくださいました。

初のシュノーケリングだったのでライフジャケットも借りました。早朝だと少し肌寒いくらいなのでライフジャケットが防寒になり、シュノーケリングの助けにもなり役立ちました。浅いところでもお魚が泳いでいてフムフムヌクヌクアプアアも見られました！
また機会があればお願いしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

This was my second experience. It had been six years since my last visit, and I was impressed by how well-trained the horses are, just like before. They let you ride alone right away, and you get to experience long rides for extended periods, which is a riding style that you wouldn't find in Japan—it's truly moving!

During my first visit, they took many more photos, so I thought it would have been nice if they could have changed the order a bit so that I could have had my picture taken while riding as well. Since my family was at the front, I was disappointed that no one could take my picture.

2度目の体験です。今回は6年ぶりでしたが、相変わらずよくトレーニングされている馬さんたちで感心していました。
いきなり一人で乗せてくれるし、しかも長時間長距離を体験させてくれるし、日本では考えられない乗馬スタイルで、感動します！
1回目に行ったときは、もっといろいろな写真を撮ってくださったので
できたら、進順番を変えてくれると、私も乗っている姿を写真に撮ってもらえたのかなーと思いました。家族で先頭で乗っていたので、誰にも撮ってもらえず残念でした。

The Pink Line one-day pass allows you to ride on the specified date plus the day before or the day after when you exchange it. (You also receive two tickets.) For long distances, I think it's better to use a taxi for a better balance of time and cost, but if you're just going to Ala Moana Shopping Center, the Pink Line is sufficient.

ピンクライン一日券は、引き換えの時に指定日＋指定日の前日か翌日に乗れます。
（乗車券も２枚くれます）遠距離はタクシー使った方が時間とコストのバランスが良いと思うしアラモアナショッピングセンターいく位ならピンクラインで十分かと

I was expecting a jungle tour, but it was just a simple jeep exploration of the jungle. I had hoped for a course that included locations from Jurassic World, but I couldn't make a reservation, so I reluctantly booked this tour, which turned out to be quite boring.

期待していましたジャングルツアーではなく、単純なジッープでのジャングルの探検でした。
ジュラシックワールドのロケ地が入ったコースを希望していましたが、予約がとれずに、やむなく、このツアーに予約しましたが、たいくつなツアーでした。

I may not have confirmed everything in advance, but it was quite physically demanding. It's been years since I last went to the ocean. How many times have I gone snorkeling in my life? Given the situation, it's my own fault, but it was tough for someone in their 50s who isn't confident in their physical strength.

It seems that about half of the people were able to see the dolphins. With so many people, if you jump in later, the chances of seeing them decrease. If you're a good swimmer, you might be fine. My child and I weren't able to see them. My husband managed to see them, but he said it wasn't really swimming with the dolphins.

There weren't any impressive fish while snorkeling either. We didn't get to see any sea turtles. It's nature, so it can't be helped.

I've written mostly negative things, but the staff were really wonderful and their dedication was evident. That was a saving grace. Thank you very much.

事前の確認不足かもしれませんが、
体力的にかなりきつかったです。
海に行くのも何年ぶりかしら？
シュノーケリングなんて人生で何回目？
なんて状況でしたので自業自得ですが…
体力に自信の無い５０代には厳しかったです🤣

イルカは半分くらいの人は見れたみたいです。
人数が多過ぎて後の方に飛び込むと
見れる可能性は低くなると思います。
泳ぎが得意な人なら大丈夫かもしれません。
私と子どもは見れませんでした😭
主人はかろうじて見れたそうですが、
イルカと泳ぐ、ではないと言ってました。

シュノーケリングも感動する程の魚はいませんでした。
海ガメにも会えませんでした。
自然相手なので仕方ないですね。

悪い事ばかり書いてしまいましたが、
スタッフさんは本当に良い方達で
一生懸命なのが伝わりました。
それが救いでした。
ありがとうございました。

We love the experience they provide. Music is great. Staff is all good people and the activities are all fun. Definitely recommend doing it.

I was very, very satisfied with the experience. Thank you very much. The horse was gentle and made me feel safe. It seems that a family participating in the same tour accidentally got on a different tour's vehicle, which delayed our departure by about 30 minutes, resulting in a shorter stay at Dole Plantation, and that was disappointing.

とてもとても満足な内容でした。
有難うございます。
馬は大人しいし安心です。
同じツアーに参加のご家族が　違うツアーの車に乗ってしまったようで　３０分程出発が遅れ　ドールプランテーションの滞在が少なくなり　そこが残念でした。

Una valle splendida circondata da due lati da montagne a picco. Abbiamo fatto il circuito movie e sembrava di vivere all'interno di un film . Prima fra tutti i film jurassici.
Nessun problema con i biglietti, tutto ben organizzato e facilmente fruibile.

We had the best excursion with Ko Olina Sunset Cruise. The crew was awesome! They were so friendly to all 15 of us ranging in ages 7-72! The food was delicious and we couldn’t have asked for a better choice while vacationing in Hawaii!

I participated about three years ago, and it was so great that I decided to join again this time. The staff were truly kind and friendly. There were also Japanese staff members who provided attentive support, so I think even those who are not used to it can participate with confidence.

This time, my family of three joined, and during snorkeling, the staff warmly watched over my slow-swimming daughter and even pointed out where the sea turtles were. Thanks to being able to see the sea turtles up close, my daughter, who is not very good at swimming, seems to have developed an interest in snorkeling.

If I have the opportunity to go again, I would like to participate next time as well.

3年ほど前にも参加したのですが、とても良かったので今回も利用させていだだきました。
スタッフの方は本当に親切でフレンドリー。日本人スタッフの方もいて、きめ細かい対応をしてくれるので、慣れない方でも安心して参加できると思います。
今回も家族3人で参加しましたが、シュノーケリングの時、泳ぎの遅い娘を温かく見守っていただいたうえ、ウミガメの居場所も教えていただきました。間近でウミガメを見ることができたおかげで、あまり泳ぎの得意ではない娘も、シュノーケリングに興味を持ってくれたようです。
また行く機会後あれば、次回も参加したいと思います。

From start to finish, this excursion was worth every penny! Phenomenal staff and awesome adventures!

Family friendly and safety conscious.

There is a language barrier, but I'm even happier to experience various things! They actively offered tastings, and I was able to enjoy a lot of different items.

英語のハードルはあるが、それ以上に様々なことを体感できて嬉しい！試飲も積極的に出してくださり色んなものを満喫できました。

We were able to fully enjoy the ocean activities such as snorkeling, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding at our leisure. During snorkeling with the guide, we had a relaxed and private time, and we encountered sea turtles multiple times. My grandmother didn't go into the water, but she was happy to relax on the boat. Our whole family was very satisfied, and choosing a private cruise was definitely the right decision.

シュノーケル、カヌー、SUPなど自由に使用でき海の遊びを満喫できました。ガイドさんとのシュノーケルでは、ゆったりとプライベートな時間を過ごせ、ウミガメに何度も出会えました。祖母は海に入りませんでしたが、ボートでリラックスして過ごせて喜んでいました。家族みんな大満足で、貸切クルーズを選んで正解でした。

The staff were all cheerful and fun! Both the SUP and canoeing were enjoyable! The snorkeling was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many fish.

スタッフさんが皆明るくて面白い！supもカヌーも楽しかったです！
シュノーケルは少し寒かったけど、お魚がたくさん見られて良かったです。

You can see the culture and dances of the region in each section. It was fun just being there! I accidentally forgot to book the evening luau, so next time I want to see it with the luau included.

セクションごとにその地域の文化や踊りを見ることができる。
いるだけで楽しかった！
間違えて夜のルアウを予約し忘れてしまったので次回はルアウ付きで見たい

I was worried it might be hot, but it was surprisingly cool, and the scenery was breathtaking, making it a lot of fun.

If you have a driver's license, I recommend driving!

暑いのではないかと心配したが、思いの外涼しく、景色も絶景でとても楽しかった。

免許をお持ちの方は運転するのがおすすめ！
