All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

I was anxious because I couldn't speak English by myself, but the staff were very kind and it was fun. I also spotted a sea turtle along the way. I got a little wet from the splashes, but the waves weren't too bad, the scenery was beautiful, and the breeze felt great—it was the best!

日本人は私1人で英語も話せ無いので不安でしたが、スタッフの方もとても親切で楽しかったです。
途中で海亀も見かけました。
水しぶきで少し濡れますが、揺れもそれほどでは無く、景色も良いし風も気持ち良くて最高でした。

The visit to the pineapple plantation was very good. Haleiwa was relatively quiet, and I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go. I was able to eat at Giovanni's without any wait. The guide, Nori, was also wonderful, making it a very good tour.

パイナップル園の見学は大変良かったです。
ハレイワも比較的空いていて行きたいところもすべて行けました。ジョバンニは待ち時間なしで食べられました。
添乗のノリさんの対応も素晴らしく、大変良いツアーでした。

The sea was beautiful, and we had plenty of time to take photos, play with the stand-up paddleboards, floaties, and go snorkeling. We had an amazing time!!

The staff were all fun and kind. When I lost something, they continued to search for it even the day after we left, and I am very grateful for that. They made sure that the participants had the best time to create wonderful memories of their trip!!

It was such a great experience that I definitely want to go back if I have the chance to visit Hawaii again. 😊

海は綺麗で写真を撮る時間、サップ、浮き輪、シュノーケリングなど遊ぶ時間がたっぷりあり、思いっきり楽しめました!!

スタッフの方も楽しく、優しい方達ばかりです。
無くし物をした時は、私たちが帰った次の日も探してくれてとても感謝しています。
参加者たちの旅行が最高な思い出になるように最高の時間にしてくれました!!

またハワイに行く機会があったら絶対行きたいと思えるような時間でした(^^)

Despite the communication being in English, everyone was kind and spoke slowly with me, who can only speak Japanese. Even when I didn't understand, the receptionist used a translation app on her smartphone to explain things to me. They were just so kind and helpful.

When I arrived, I entered the code sent to me on the day or the day before into the iPad for check-in, filled in my contact information, date of birth, and weight in pounds, then entered my emergency contact information, checked the consent form, and signed it to complete the process. There are both contact and emergency contact fields. I made a mistake at first. If I had my smartphone, I could have translated it.

After waiting for a while, they called my name. If you have luggage, the instructor will guide you to the coin lockers located behind the iPad. I didn't have to pay for the necessary coins as they provided them. After that, they immediately helped me put on the harness. I received a brief lecture, and then we waited for a bit. The lecture was easy to understand as they spoke in simple words.

I chose the photo and video plan, and they took great shots before we departed.

When I returned from diving, they gave me a diving certificate and an envelope for tips. It was clearly written, which was helpful for someone from Japan, where tipping culture is not common. Once everything was done, the shuttle was ready for us, and we just got in to head back.

Three hours later, they sent a link to the images and videos to my email. The video was wonderfully edited, and I was very satisfied. I truly believe I had a fantastic experience.

英語でのコミュニケーションと書いてあったにもかかわらず、日本語しかできない私に、皆さん優しく色々とゆっくり単語で会話してくれました。私がわからない場合も、受付の女性はスマホの翻訳ソフトを使って説明してくれました。とにかく優しいし親切。

到着したら当日か前日に送られてきたコードをチェックイン用のiPadに入力して、連絡先、生年月日や体重をポンドで入力、その後に緊急連絡先を入力して、同意書にチェックとサインを書いて完了です。連絡先と緊急連絡先があります。私は最初間違えました。
スマホがあれば翻訳できました。

しばらく待っていると名前を呼んでくれます。荷物がある場合はiPadの裏手にあるコインロッカーまでインストラクターが案内してくれました。必要なコインはサービスしてくれたのか払っていません。その後すぐハーネスを装着してくれます。簡単なレクチャーを受け、しばらく待ちます。レクチャーも単語で話してくれるのでわかりやすい。
私は写真と動画のプランにしましたが、出発前に上手く色々撮ってくれました。

ダイビングから帰ってきたら、ダイビング証明と、チップ用の封筒をくれました。分かりやすく書いてあったのでチップ文化の無い日本人には助かります。
一通り終わったら送迎車が準備してくれていたので乗り込んで帰るだけです。

3時間後にはメールアドレスに画像と動画のリンクを送ってくれました。動画は素晴らしい編集で大満足です。
本当に素晴らしい体験ができたと思います。

This time there were three groups participating.
At the sightseeing spots, they took photos for us and provided explanations, which made everything easy to understand.
Hanauma Bay was very beautiful, and I wanted to go snorkeling next time.
For lunch, we could choose from many places, including food trucks at the Kahuku Sugar Mill.
I was thrilled to stop by Leonard's Malasada truck, which wasn't on the schedule, and enjoy the hot malasadas.

今回は3組の参加
観光場所では写真を撮ってくれたり説明もしてくれたり分かりやすかったです。
ハナウマ　ベイはとてもきれいで次回、スノーケルをしたくなりました。
昼食はカフクシュガーミルでのフードトラックなど沢山の店の中から選べます。
予定になかったレナーズのマラサダのトラックに寄ってもらい熱々を食べれて感激しました。

The tour had almost no Japanese participants. The guidance and explanations were in English, and with our English skills, we could only understand about 20-30%. However, the fun conversations with our driver and guide, Marlon, created a bright atmosphere in the vehicle, and he kindly spoke to us in Japanese as well, which made us feel at ease. The bus was a comfortable sightseeing bus equipped with a restroom, and we thoroughly enjoyed a whirlwind tour of Oahu from early morning (the hotel pickup was great)!

参加者は日本人がほぼいないツアーでした。案内､説明など英語で私達の英語力では２～３割やっと理解出来る感じ。でもドライバー兼ガイド？のMARLONの楽しい会話で車内は明るい雰囲気で､私達には親切に日本語でも話しかけてくれたので安心でした😌
バスはトイレ完備の観光バス;🚌;で快適､早朝から(ホテルpic upは良かった)弾丸ツアーでオアフ島を満喫出来ました❗

My family and I went on the 2 hour UTV raptor tour and absolutely loved it! Highly recommend it. The views are amazing and our tour guides were awesome. Matt and Noah were great! My 11 & 7 year old said it was their favorite part of our trip.

The sandbar wasn't out, but it was shallow, so my family enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). In the second half, we went snorkeling in deeper areas with coral reefs 😃 and were able to see fish and sea turtles 💓. A Japanese staff member explained everything, so it was fine even if we didn't understand English. They also prepared spam onigiri and drinks, which we enjoyed. I was a bit hungry, so it was delicious 😊.

サンドバーは出てませんでしたが浅くなってたので家族でsupを楽しみました。後半は珊瑚礁のある深いところでシュノーケリングをしました😃魚やウミガメを見ることができました💓日本人のスタッフさんが説明してくださり英語がわからなくても大丈夫でした。スパムおにぎりや飲み物も用意してくださってたのでいただきました。小腹が空いてたので美味しかったです😊

This was my second time participating! This time, there were Japanese receptionists and instructors, which made me feel very at ease! Surfing was also a lot of fun!

今回が2回目の参加でした！今回は日本人の受付の方とインストラクターさんがいてとても安心でした！
サーフィンもすごく楽しかったです！

I was able to enjoy the tour without worrying about the language thanks to KEN, who is Japanese. I am grateful to KEN. Thank you very much. It became the best memory as I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles.

クルーのKENさんが日本人で言葉に心配なくツアーを楽しむことができました。KENさんに感謝しています。ありがとうございました。イルカもウミガメも見ることができ最高の思い出になりました

It was fun and a great way to see the area our kids was amazing!!!

Our honeymoon trip to Hawaii was amazing! There were Japanese staff members who explained everything to us, and other staff spoke Japanese in a friendly manner, making our time enjoyable! We tried stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and kayaking. Although there were limited numbers for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, people gradually got bored, so it naturally came around to our turn, which was funny. There was also a space for volleyball! The light snack donuts were tastier than I expected! I wish I had brought marine shoes for snorkeling. The shuttle bus was cold.

新婚旅行で初ハワイ！
日本人のスタッフさんもいて説明してくださり、その他のスタッフさんもカタコトで日本語を話してフレンドリーに話してくださり、楽しい時間を過ごせました！
supやシュノーケル、カヤックをしました。
supやカヤックは数に限りがあるものの、次第にみなさん飽きるので、おのずと順番が回ってきます笑
バレーボール🏐もできるスペースもありました！
軽食のドーナツも思ったより美味しかったです！シュノーケルのときは、マリンシューズとかも持って行ってたらよかったなーと。
送迎のバスが寒かったです。

Since we had a Japanese guide, we were able to relax and enjoy snorkeling with explanations in Japanese! My friend, who was snorkeling for the first time, had a great time! It was amazing to see the fish up close!

日本人のガイドさんだったので、日本語で説明いただき、安心してシュノーケルができました！一緒に行った友人は初シュノーケルでしたが、とても楽しんでいました！魚が近くで見えて感激です！

I was really satisfied with the variety of performances, from amazing acrobatics to Hawaiian-themed acts!

I was a bit nervous watching, worried about whether anyone would get hurt! Haha.

すごいアクロバットなことからハワイっぽいことまでのいろんなパフォーマンスが見れて満足度がかなりたかかったです！

怪我しないか心配でひやひやしながら見てました！笑

There is a Japanese person at the reception, so checking in is very reassuring. The instructor could also speak a little Japanese! Skydiving had beautiful scenery and was truly wonderful! It was a great memory!

受付に日本人の方がいるのでチェックインとかもすごく安心です
インストラクターさんも少し日本語話せました！
スカイダイビングは景色も綺麗でほんとうに素晴らしかったです！とてもいい思い出です！

I was told that it would be lucky to see a tiger shark, and that day I was able to see about eight tiger sharks, which was really fun!

タイガーシャークが見れたらラッキーだよーって言われて、その日はタイガーシャークが8匹ほどみれてすごい楽しかったです

The sandbar, which I was most looking forward to on my trip to Hawaii, was an experience beyond my imagination!

The white sandy beach that appears right in the middle of the emerald green sea is truly a "heavenly ocean." Looking around, the panoramic view is breathtaking in every direction. The scale is something that photos can't capture, and I was simply moved…!

Spending time leisurely on the boat while feeling the sea breeze was also the best.

ハワイ旅行で一番楽しみにしていた、サンドバー。想像以上の感動体験でした！

エメラルドグリーンの海のど真ん中に現れる白い砂浜はまさに“天国の海”。
周囲を見渡せば360度パノラマの絶景。写真じゃ伝わらないスケール感に、ただただ感動…！

ボートで海風を感じながらのんびり過ごす時間も最高でした。

The exhilarating feeling of cutting through the great outdoors is truly exceptional! The fun of bumping along the unpaved roads made me laugh uncontrollably.

I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

大自然の中を風を切って走る爽快感は本当に格別！舗装されていない道をガタガタ揺れながら進む感じも楽しくて、思わず笑いが止まりませんでした。

洋服は汚れてもいいものがおすすめです。

When you arrive, there will be an explanation of the facilities from the Japanese staff, so you can relax and enjoy. If you arrive early, I recommend securing a shaded beach bench to enjoy. For meals, the kalua pork is recommended; it's quite filling, so one dish should be enough for a family of three to share.

現地に着いたら日本人のスタッフから施設の説明があるので安心して楽しめました。早い時間に着いたら、まずは日陰になるビーチベンチを陣取って楽しむこと。お勧めします。食事はカルアポークかおすすめ、ボリューミーなので家族3人なら一つをシェアすれば十分かな。

I was surprised by the aesthetics, the professionalism and friendliness of the staff, the quality of the performances, the abundance and taste of the food!

It was a pity that the weather was a bit bad, but I was able to fully enjoy activities like SUP and snorkeling! Snacks and Spam were also provided, so I could eat and drink freely. I would love to participate again!

天気が少し悪かったのが残念でしたが、SUPやシュノーケリングなどアクティビティを存分に楽しめました！スナックやスパムも用意されているため、自由に飲食できました。また参加したいです！

Cutting through the wind and waves, getting splashed with water, and still encountering dolphins made it the best experience. The view of Waikiki's coastline and cityscape from the sea was also exceptional.

風を切り、波を切り、水しぶきを思い切り浴びて、それでもイルカとも出会えたし、
最高でした。海の上から見るワイキキの海岸線と街並みも格別のものを感じました。

I heard that I could drive with a Japanese driver's license, and I was a bit unsure, but I went anyway. They taught me how to drive carefully, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. I also took a lot of photos and was very satisfied!

日本の運転免許証で運転できると聞き、本当に大丈夫なのかな？と思いながら行きましたが、運転も丁寧に教えてくれて安心して楽しむことができました。
写真もたくさん撮れて満足です！

I watched a TV program and thought, "I want to try that!" so I gave it a go. We were a group of older members: my husband, 66 years old, myself at 61, and my cousin, 63. It wasn't difficult at all, and we had a great time. We paddled out a bit with the oars to turn around, and when a good wave came, we paddled really fast in sync with the calls. Once we caught the wave, we stopped paddling and glided on the wave at quite a speed. The sun was strong out on the ocean, but once we were riding the wave, the wind hitting our faces felt really nice and refreshing. We got to do it three times, which was amazing! If I come to Hawaii again, I will definitely do it again.

テレビ番組を観てやってみたい!と思って挑戦しました。夫66歳私61歳いとこ63歳の高齢メンバーでしたが、難しい事は無く十分楽しめました。掛け声に合わせてオールで少し沖まで漕いで方向転換し、良い波が来たら掛け声に合わせてめっちゃ早く漕いで波に乗ったら漕ぐのをやめて波の上を結構なスピードで滑ります。海の上は日差しがきついですが波に乗ってしまうと顔に当たる風がとても気持ち良く爽快でした。3回やってもらえて最高でした!ハワイに来たらまたやります。

I was able to see many dolphins and honu! I was moved by the pod of dolphins swimming close to the boat! I was worried about my 5-year-old, but as expected, they seemed scared when they jumped into the sea and cried a lot underwater... However, the staff were very kind and supportive, which was a great comfort for me as a mother. On the boat, my child enjoyed watching the dolphins and eating snacks. My elementary school-aged siblings particularly enjoyed the slide and went down it multiple times. I was disappointed that I couldn't see any fish while snorkeling, but that's just how nature is! Thanks to all the cute dolphins and the cheerful staff, I made the best memories!

たくさんのイルカもホヌも見れました！
船に寄り添って泳ぐイルカの群れに感動！
５歳の子連れは心配でしたが、予想通り海に飛び込んだのが怖かったようで海の中では大泣きでした…でもスタッフさんが優しくフォローして下さり、母としては大変心強かったです。船の上では楽しそうにイルカを眺めたりお菓子を食べて満喫していました。
小学生の兄弟は、特にスライダーが楽しかったようで何度も滑っていました。
楽しみにしていたシュノーケルはお魚が見れなくて残念でしたが、これも自然が相手だから仕方ないこと！
その分たくさんの可愛いイルカと陽気なスタッフのおかげでサイコーの思い出が出来ました！

During my stay in Hawaii, I learned that there was a Cirque du Soleil performance in Waikiki, so I made a reservation. Just like the show I saw in Las Vegas before, I couldn't take my eyes off the professional performers and was completely captivated. It's a highly recommended show that I would love to see again if I have the chance.

ハワイ旅行滞在中にワイキキでシルクドソレイユの舞台があると知り、申し込みいたしました。
ラスベガスで以前に拝見した舞台同様、さすがプロのパフォーマーに目が離せずずっとひきこまれておりました。また機会がありましたら拝見したいおすすめの舞台です。

We participated as a group of four. We arrived at Haleiwa in about an hour. We got off at the beach park and leisurely explored the shopping area. Along the way, we stopped by a local supermarket, checked out Matsumoto Shave Ice before it opened, and enjoyed the charming old town streets. There was a line at Giovanni's before it opened, but it moved quickly, and sharing between two people was perfect; the flavor truly lived up to its reputation as the original.

Due to road construction, we couldn't get off to take a photo of the sign, so we took pictures from inside the car. We saw the balance rock and were very lucky to spot a honu in the nearby sea. ✌️

One of the highlights of this tour was being able to hear various stories from our Japanese driver, including insights about culture and the economy. The five hours flew by. Mahalo!

4組での参加でした。ハレイワまでの1時間程で到着。ビーチパークで下車しショッピングエリアまでのんびり散策しました。途中で地元のスーパーマーケットに寄ったり、開店前のマツモトシェイブアイスを見たり、古き良き街並みを楽しめました。開店前のジョバンニには行列ができていましたが、回転がよく、2人でシェアできてさすが元祖と言われる味わいでした。
道路工事をしていて下車して看板を撮ることはできず、車内からの写真を撮りました。バランスロックを見て、近くの海ではホヌも見れてとてもラッキーでし✌️
日本人ドライバーさんの説明や文化や経済までいろんなお話を聞くことができたのが、このツアーのいい所でした。5時間はあっという間でした。マハロー！

The area is just a gem for snorkeling, and the live music on the boat added such a fun, laid-back time!

The Punchbowl Cemetery was my main point I wanted to see with Pearl Harbor, and thankful for a tour that stopped by.

Seeing dolphins swim alongside the boat was such a magical moment, and snorkeling in those clear waters is so unforgettable!!!
