All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

The shuttle service was very smooth! The bus was comfortable as well. The person explaining everything was very clear and kind, so I had no worries! The other people on the tour were also really nice, and we had a fun time together. It was a shame that two attractions were under maintenance, but aside from that, I had no complaints. Be careful with sunscreen, as it tends to wash off easily. Since I went on a weekday, it was not crowded, and I was able to enjoy the rides smoothly! There was a smoking area in the center, which was great for smokers, and I was able to relax comfortably! The unlimited soft drinks were also very helpful! I highly recommend it!

送迎もとてもスムーズ！
バスの中も快適でした
説明してくれる方もとてもわかりやすくて優しくて不安はなかったです！
一緒のツアーになった方々もとてもいい人達でわいわいと楽しく過ごせました
二つほどメンテナンス中なのは残念でしたがそれを除けば文句なしでした
日焼け止めは塗っても塗っても落ちるのでそこは注意⚠️
平日に行けたので空いてて乗り物もスムーズに乗れました！
喫煙者には嬉しいスモーキングエリアも中央にあり快適に過ごせました！
ソフトドリンク飲み放題もとても助かりました！おすすめです

The captain and the crew were amazing! Best part was the sandbar and enjoying the view of the island.

This was my third time sailing. There were some waves, but since it was a catamaran, it didn't rock too much, and it was the best sailing experience.

今回3回目のセーリングでした。
そこそこ波もありましたが、カタマランなので大きく揺れることもなく最高のセーリングでした。

It was a wonderful experience completely different from the scenery in Japan. I was able to see historical sites such as Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and Pearl Harbor from the air, which was very educational. I would like to thank all the staff.

日本の景色とは全く違う素晴らし体験となりました、ダイアモンドヘッドやWaikikiBeach更にパールハーバー等、歴史的な遺構を上空から見る事が出来て大変勉強にもなりました、スタッフの皆様に感謝申し上げます🙇

The tide was just right for snorkeling. If the tide had been lower with the sandbar exposed, snorkeling would have been difficult. In addition to snorkeling, you can also experience SUP and kayaking. I wish I had tried SUP as well.

シュノーケリング目的だったので、潮位はちょうどよかった。サンドバーが出ている潮位だと、シュノーケリングは難しかったかな。シュノーケリングのほかに、SUPやカヤックも体験できます。ＳＵＰもやってみればよかった。

We enjoyed the dinner and of course the main Show ..we definitely will come back again.

We used this service for our family's first trip to Hawaii. We enjoyed a full hour of horseback riding, and the location was amazing. The horses were well-behaved, with gentle eyes that were just too cute! It was a sunny day, but there were plenty of shaded areas, so it wasn't as hot as I expected, and we had a great time! I don't understand English at all, but they showed us a Japanese version of the explanation video, which made me feel at ease. I definitely recommend this experience!

家族で初めてのハワイ旅行で利用しました。
１時間たっぷり乗馬してロケーションは最高。お馬さんはいい子で優しい瞳で可愛いすぎた！
日差しが強い日だったけど日陰も多くて思ったより暑くなく楽しめました！
英語は全く分からないけど日本語版の説明動画も見せてくれて安心しました！是非体験してきてください

Since it was a plan with shuttle service from the hotel, we took a large bus for about an hour to get to the location. The instructor during the horseback riding spoke in English, but there was also an explanation provided by a Japanese staff member beforehand, so I think it’s fine even if you don’t understand English. There were mostly Japanese participants, but there were also quite a few Chinese, Korean, and Westerners. There was about an hour of free time before and after the activity, so we spent it buying snacks at the shop and taking a leisurely walk. It was really nice to feel nature in a different atmosphere from the Waikiki area.

ホテルからの送迎付きプランだったので、大型バスで1時間ほどかけて現地まで行きました。乗馬中のインストラクターさんからの声掛けは英語ですが、事前に日本人のスタッフの方からの説明もあったので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫だと思います。参加者は日本人が多めで中国人、韓国人、欧米の方も結構いました。アクティビティの前後にそれぞれ1時間弱自由時間があったので、売店で軽食を買ったりのんびり散歩したりして過ごしました。ワイキキエリアとはまた違った雰囲気の中で自然を感じることができてとても良かったです。

This was my first time participating, and it was a wonderful experience. The boat didn't sway much, but occasionally we hit strong waves that splashed water, which was also a fun experience. Most people were enjoying Mai Tais, but since we are not good with alcohol, we opted for soft drinks. Along the way, we saw a rainbow over Diamond Head, and it became a lovely memory with beautiful scenery.

初めて参加しましたが、とてもいい体験でした。船はあまり揺れることがなかったのですが時折強い波に当たると水しぶきが飛んできますがそれも楽しい体験です。ほとんどの人がマイタイを美味しそうに飲んでいましたが、私たちはお酒に弱いのでソフトドリンクにしました。途中ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、すてきな景色も見ることができて良い思い出となりました。

Overall a fun experience. Staff is friendly and the sandbar is beautiful!
The overall tour is just a little too long and the boat is a little dirty.

We were staying at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. I would look down from our room and see the small area the luau was being performed in. I was skeptical because any luaus we had previously been to were done in large areas. We were all pleasantly surprised at how welcoming the staff were! The show itself was very well done and the acts were both beautiful and memorable. The setting was small and intimate. There were 9 of us total and we were all very pleased! Music and singing were great!

This was my first experience, and the Japanese crew members were very entertaining, making it a fun experience for the kids as well. The final snorkeling was a bit nerve-wracking when clouds appeared, but when it cleared up, the color of the sea was beautiful, and we saw plenty of fish. The hamburger for lunch was also quite delicious, and my 5-year-old daughter was happily eating it! I want to practice swimming more and come back again!

今回初めての体験でしたが、日本人クルーの方もとても面白く、子供達も楽しい体験ができました。
最後のシュノーケリングは雲が出てくると少しドキドキしましたが晴れると海の色がとてもキレイでお魚もいっぱい見れました。そしてランチのハンバーガーもかなり美味しくて、５歳の娘もパクパク食べていました！またもっと泳ぎを練習してまた来たいです♪

Yet again another excellent tour from VELTRA and Operators. Bus driver Tommy was funny and more importantly on time, he gave us all the information we needed. We climbed at 9am and did it in 20mins as we wanted a workout. Spent some time at the top, taking in the views. Made our way down slowly, sat under the trees in the park and waited to be collected by Tommy. All done by 1130am. Perfect!

I experienced a 2-hour horseback riding session at Kualoa Ranch. The activity itself was fantastic. If I remember correctly, it’s quite popular, so when I applied, I wasn’t sure what time slot I would be able to join. It was confirmed in the reservation email when I opened the voucher. I didn’t quite understand how Kualoa Ranch operated, and since it was the weekend, there were more people than on weekdays. After arriving, I realized I had about 2 hours of free time before the horseback riding, so I lined up at the ticket center, but all the other morning activities were sold out. I spent the time at the cafeteria, grabbing a light snack and browsing for souvenirs. Considering efficiency, I would have liked to combine another tour with the 2 hours, but the horseback riding experience was truly wonderful. The horses are well-trained, so they move along without needing much direction. During the 2-hour wait, I bought lunch at the cafeteria, which felt like a food court, so there was no obligation to buy a meal for each person. To avoid overeating before the activity, sharing was also possible. It seems that bringing in sandwiches or rice balls wouldn’t be a problem. By the way, it takes about an hour to get from the Sheraton to Kualoa Ranch. The bus is large and comfortable. The driver provided information about Hawaii’s attractions in English along the way, which added to the pleasant atmosphere. Overall, I’m glad I participated!

クアロアランチの乗馬2時間を体験。
アクティビティ自体、最高でした。
確か、記憶によると人気なんで、申込時には何時の回に参加できるかは判らず、予約確定のメールでバウチャーを開くと確定されてる感じでした。クアロアランチの仕組みが分からなかったのと、土日だったんで平日より人が多かったせいか、着いたのち、乗馬まで2時間くらい空き時間がある事がわかって、そこからチケットセンターに並んだが、午前中の他のアクティビティはどれも完売との事で、カフェテリアで小腹を満たしたり、お土産見たりして過ごしました。効率から考えると2時間あれば何か1つツアーを組み合わせたかったが、乗馬体験はとても素晴らしく、馬が慣れてるので、あまり指示を出さずとも合わせて動いてくれます。2時間の待ち時間はカフェテリアで昼食を購入し食べたがフードコートのような感じなんで1人1食購入する義務感も無く、アクティビティ前の食べ過ぎを避ける為にシェアも可能でした。おそらく、サンドイッチやおにぎりの持込みも問題なさそう。ちなみに、シェラトンからクアロアランチまで約1時間。バスは大きく快適です。行きがけのドライバーは道中、ハワイの見どころを英語ですが紹介してくれて、雰囲気も良かった。トータル、参加して良かったです！

I invited my colleagues on a company trip for the first time and we went on a catamaran yacht. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from offshore was amazing. The wind was blowing, making for a fantastic sailing experience, and we even encountered dolphins swimming alongside us and saw sea turtles. It was the best cruising experience. When I mentioned that I had some sailing experience, the captain kindly let me operate the winch and take the helm, creating unforgettable memories. Thank you to the captain and the crew. My colleagues, who were on a yacht for the first time, were also very satisfied with the cruising experience. If I have the opportunity again, I definitely want to ride on the Mai Tai again.

初めて会社の旅行で同僚を誘いカタマランヨットに乗りました。
沖合から見るダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチは最高です。また風も吹いてヨットとしての走りも最高、さらにイルカの並走、ウミガメにも遭遇し最高のクルージングでした。私がヨット経験者だと伝えるとキャプテンの計らいでウインチ作業、舵も握らせて貰い、最高の思い出になりました。キャプテン、クルーの皆さん有難うございました。初めて乗った同僚もヨットのクルージングに大満足しておりました。
また機会があれば必ずマイタイ号に乗りたいと思います。

I was very satisfied running through the town of Honolulu and along the coast while feeling the breeze! I will definitely sign up again when I come to Hawaii!

ホノルルの町中と海沿いなど風を感じながら走れ非常に満足できました！また、ハワイに来る際にはぜひ申し込みいたします！

We had a great movie tour - almost wish we had booked one of the more extended tours, but we had a great guide, learned a lot, enjoyed photo stops though wish there were more! Would definitely recommend!

Food was great
Staff was courteous helpful very professional
The entertainment was awesome
The view was breathtaking
Thank you

The guy was very nice and knowledgeable but the tour was just okay.

I have done horseback trekking for about two hours several times in Hokkaido, and the horses in Hawaii respond to the same cues for moving forward, stopping, and turning. It's universal.

At first, we went through the forest, then we reached the scenic spot in the photo, and from there, we turned back to the starting point. After riding for two hours, my butt started to hurt (laughs), but the weather was nice, and I thoroughly enjoyed horseback riding!

On uphill slopes, the horses seemed to struggle, and on downhill slopes, they moved slowly and cautiously to avoid slipping. You really feel the difference from riding a bicycle or motorcycle; it's a "living creature."

After the ride, you can receive photos taken during the ride via AirDrop as a complimentary service. There are commemorative photos for sale in front of the visitor center (restaurant? gift shop?), but they are expensive ($20 each), so you might not need to buy them.

北海道で数回，2時間ほどの乗馬トレッキングをしたことがあり，ハワイの馬も同じ足や手綱での指示で，進む・止まる・曲がる，をしてくれます。万国共通。
最初，林を進み，その後，写真の風景の場所に行き，そこから引き返してスタート地点に戻ります。
やはり2時間も乗っていると尻が痛くなります(笑)
が，天気も良く，乗馬を満喫しました！！
上り坂では，馬が苦しそうになり，下り坂では，馬が滑らないように慎重にゆっくりになります。自転車やオートバイじゃない，「生き物」を実感します。
乗馬後，乗馬中にサービスで撮ってくれる写真をAir Dropでもらえます。ビジターセンター（レストラン？ ギフトショップ？）前に，記念写真を売ってますが，高い（1枚 $20）から買わなくても良いかも・・。

The thrill rides were seriously fun. I got splashed with a lot of water. It was great. I thought I would want to come back again. The wait times were short, and I was able to enjoy various water slides. Each one was thrilling, and my friends and I laughed a lot. There were many slides that you can't experience in Japan, and it was really enjoyable. In this plan, drinks were all-you-can-drink, so I was able to have beverages after enjoying the water slides and after changing before heading home.

絶叫系がガチで楽しかったです
顔にいっぱい水がかかりました。
良かったです。
また来たいと思いました。
待ち時間も少なく色んなウォータースライダーを楽しむことができました。
また、1つ1つ迫力があって友達ととても笑い合いました。日本には体験できないスライダーが多くとても楽しかったです。
今回のプランではドリンクが飲み放題だったのでウォータースライダーを楽しんだ後や着替えが終わり帰る時にも飲み物をいただけました。

The Viking was a bit tiring, but it was worth the climb! The view was spectacular. The guide was also very kind. I'm glad I participated.

バイキングは少し疲れましたが
登る価値あり！
絶景です。
ガイドさんもとても親切でした。
参加して良かったです。

We really enjoyed the setup and the music after was great.

All the shows were slightly staggered in timing, making them easy to watch! It was great that I could enjoy them while being with my baby! I want to go again!

すべてのショーが時間が少しずつズレてて見やすくかったです!
赤ちゃんと一緒でも楽しく見て回れたので最高でした！
また行きたいです!

First of all, Mason Captain's Japanese is incredibly good! I was surprised at how well he speaks, to the point where I thought he might be better than some Japanese people, as he learned it by ear.

We were the only Japanese people there, but he provided translations for all the announcements without slowing down the tempo, keeping everyone engaged. He is truly amazing.

The clientele was also great; there were elderly gentlemen and ladies who surprised me by snorkeling down to about 5 meters deep. Additionally, they opened the restrooms that were only for park members for us when we urgently needed them, which was very kind of them.

Before COVID, it seems that about 30-40% of the guests were Japanese, but after COVID, it appears that hardly any Japanese people have returned. However, even for those who are not good at English, there is really no trouble at all, and the food was delicious. It was the best activity, so I really hope everyone gets to experience it!

To Mason,
Wishing you and your fiancée happiness!
Thank you!

まず、メイソンキャプテンの日本語がめちゃくちゃ上手い！
耳で覚えたとのことですが、日本人より上手いんじゃないか、ってくらいのレベルでびっくりしちゃいました。

日本人は僕らだけでしたが、全部のアナウンスに和訳も添えてくれて、なのにテンポ落とさずに全員を盛り上げていて、本当にすごい人です。

客層も良く、高齢の殿方とご婦人もいらっしゃいましたが皆さんシュノーケルで5mくらいある底まで潜っていらっしゃったりしてびっくりしました。
あとパークメンバーオンリーのお手洗いを急を要していた我々のために開けてくれたりして、素敵な方々でした。

コロナ前までは3-4割は日本人のお客さんだったそうですが、アフターコロナはほとんど日本人が戻ってきてないそうです。
ただ、英語苦手な方でも本当に全く困らないし、ご飯も美味しくて最高のアクティビティだったので、是非みんな行ってみて欲しいです！

toメイソンさん
婚約者の方とお幸せに！
ありがとうございました！

Cirque du Soleil's AUANA is a must-see when you visit Waikiki. The 80 minutes flew by in no time. It was amazing. The entire venue comes together as one. There are laughs, and everyone who comes will definitely think it was fantastic. The air conditioning is strong, so women might want to bring a jacket! Everything in the show is incredible, so please make sure to experience it.

シルクドソレイユAUANAは、ワイキキに来たら必見です。80分があっという間に過ぎました。凄いです。会場全体が一つになります。
笑いもあり、凄い良かったと来た人は、必ず思います。冷房が効いていて、女性は上着がいるかも！内容は、どれもすごいので是非体験してください。

I had a great time swimming with turtles in the beautiful sea. On the way to the sandbar by boat, I was able to see many turtles, and it was wonderful to snorkel while watching them. The captain and crew were cheerful and made the tour enjoyable, and I am very satisfied. There was also a crew member who was fluent in Japanese, which made it easy to enjoy the experience without any difficulties.

きれいな海でカメと泳げて楽しかったです。船でサンドバーへ向かうときにもたくさんのカメを見ることができ、カメを見ながらシュノーケリングできて良かったです。キャプテンもクルーも明るく楽しくツアーを盛り上げていただき大変満足しています。クルーの方に日本語が堪能な方もいて不自由なく楽しめました。

The water was unreal. It was so beautiful like out of a movie. The staff were wonderful and overall great experience.

It was so good even we don’t have any yoga experience before!
It is very nice to be the first schedule in hawaii!!

This tour includes optional mini-tours that take you to places that are difficult to reach on foot, such as the Balance Rock and the North Shore sign. You can visit all the places you want, and there was plenty of free time, so I was able to fully enjoy the experience.

このツアーには自由参加のミニツアーがあり、バランスロックやノースショアの看板など歩いて行くには難しいところも連れて行ってくれます。行きたいところに全て行くことができ、自由時間も十分にあったのでしっかり満喫できました。
