All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I had a great time seeing many fish. Above all, encountering a sea turtle was moving. I definitely want to enjoy snorkeling 🤿 and meeting the honu again on my next trip to Hawaii.

海がとっても綺麗で、魚もたくさん見る事もでき楽しかったです。
何よりも、ウミガメとの遭遇は感動しました。
是非、次回のハワイ旅行でもシュノーケリング🤿&ホヌとの出会いを楽しみたいと思っています。

It felt like the boat was intentionally swaying more than necessary while in motion. Perhaps due to the wind, it rocked quite a bit up and down, making me feel very nauseous in the second half, which was tough. I think those who are worried about seasickness should take precautions. The sea was beautiful, but I didn't see any dolphins.

必要以上にわざと？揺らして走行していたように感じます。
風の影響もあるのか、かなり上下に揺れたため、後半とても気持ち悪くなり
しんどかったです。
船酔いが心配な方は対策されたほうがいいと思います。
海はきれいでしたが、イルカは見れませんでした。

Everything was great with not problems at all. It was easy to purchase online and have the tickets on my phone.

I went to Hawaii on a reward trip from my company!
There was a pickup service to the hotel, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, plus some staff members brought their families along.
The lunch was delicious, and everyone was so kind, sharing a lot about Hawaii!
About 300 rare dolphins gathered around our boat, which is something that hardly ever happens, and we were all super excited!
I will definitely bring my friends with me the next time I go to Hawaii!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!! *\(^o^)/*

会社からのご褒美旅行でハワイへ♪
ホテルまでお迎えがあり、日本語スタッフもいてさらにはスタッフの家族もご参加されていた回でした(^○^)
ランチも美味しくスタッフもみんな親切でハワイの事たくさん教えてくれました♪
珍しいイルカが船の周りに300頭程集まってこんな事滅多にないって言われて皆でテンション上がりまくり！！
ぜひまたハワイ行く時は必ず仲間を連れていきます！！！ありがとう！！！
thank you so much！！！*\(^o^)/*

There are more than 10 attractions, and it's definitely a must-visit when you come to Ko Olina. The satisfaction level is higher than that of Disney's pool.

We visited as a family and were extremely satisfied with the experience, which exceeded our expectations. The thrill rides were exhilarating and we had a blast! The facilities were clean, the staff was friendly, and the lunch and drink set was appreciated. The unlimited soft drinks made us feel like we were in a resort to the max!

10種類以上のアトラクションがありコオリナにきたら絶対行くべきです。
ディズニーのプールよりも満足度が高い。

家族で訪れましたが、予想以上の充実度に大満足。絶叫系スライダーはスリル満点で大はしゃぎ！施設も清潔でスタッフも親切、ランチとドリンクのセットもありがたかったです。ソフトドリンク飲み放題でリゾート気分MAXでした！

They provided polite assistance regarding the hotel shuttle and how to ride a Segway. The staff member in charge was a Japanese person raised in Hawaii, so there was no language barrier, which made it easy to enjoy. My wife was able to ride right away, and the hour and a half went by in no time. It was truly fun! If I have the chance, I would like to ride a Segway again next time.

ホテルの送迎やセグウェイの乗り方について丁寧に対応して頂きました。担当のお兄さんはハワイ育ちの日本人、言葉の壁がなく安心して楽しめました。家内も直ぐに乗れるようになって1時間半はあっ言うまでした。　実に面白い！
チャンスがあれば次回もセグウェイに乗ってみたいです。

The only tour I booked on my solo trip and got the most out of the water related activities in the span of less than a day. Totally worth it to book and also get lunch included with the tour. Learned so much about respecting the reef, team focused sandbar volleyball and the joy of watching the turtles swimming.

If you love heights and roller coasters but feel a bit scared, you absolutely have to try this! When you're going down, you can't see below, so it's not scary at all. There are moments when the wind pressure is strong and you might go "whoa," but it's just for an instant! You can enjoy beautiful scenery slowly, and occasionally experience a roller coaster-like rush! If you choose a plan that includes videos and photos, you can enjoy it yourself and share it easily with others. Japanese is hardly understood, so if you can't speak it at all, a translation app is essential!

高所やジェットコースター等が好きな人でちょっと怖い、、って思ってる方
絶対経験した方がいいです！　降りる時は下が見えないし怖くないですよ〜　
風圧が強いのでうぅ"ってなる時間もありますが一瞬です！
綺麗な景色をゆっくり、たまーにジェットコースターみたいなビューーンを体験できます！
動画や写真も撮って貰えるプランだと自分も見て楽しめるし布教もしやすいですよ。
日本語はほぼ通じないので全く話せない人は翻訳アプリ必須です！

I wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, so I signed up for this 2-hour horseback riding course. Actually, I used to attend a riding club over 10 years ago, but I quit because I was scared of galloping. This time, since I was just walking slowly on horseback in the great outdoors, I felt completely at ease and thoroughly enjoyed riding again after a long time. It had been several years since I last rode a horse (I rode a few years ago in Hokkaido), so it took me a little time to regain my sense of balance at first, but after a while, I remembered the feeling and was able to enjoy the scenery. Just before we mounted the horses, there was a heavy downpour, and I was wondering what would happen, but fortunately, we didn't get rained on at all during the ride. It was also pleasantly cool, not too hot, and a bit cloudy, which made for perfect riding weather.

ハワイで乗馬したいと思い、こちらを申し込みました。2時間の乗馬コースです。実は、10年以上前まで乗馬クラブに通っていたのですが、駆け足がこわまなって辞めてしまった経験があります。今回は、馬に乗って大自然の中をゆっくり歩くだけなので、まったく怖くなく、久しぶりの乗馬を堪能できました。そもそも馬に乗るのが数年ぶり(北海道で何年か前にのっこたとがある)でしたので、最初はちょっと感覚を取り戻すのに時間がかかりましたが、途中から感覚を思い出し、それからは景色を堪能できました。乗る少し前に激しいスコールがあり、どうなるかと思いましたが、運よく乗馬中は、まったく雨に降られることなく、かといって暑すぎずに曇り気味だったので涼しくてちょうどよかったです。

I would not recommend an unaccompanied (self guided) kayak adventure in Kailua Bay. The in and out of the water is challenging so if you go to a beach or island without someone helping it's a little scary. We went out to one of the small islands. It took about 1.5 hours and we were paddling the entire time. Again, so tricky getting in and out we decided to leave only after about 10mns. Also shallow water if you don't stay close to shore with tons of coral that I saw people pushing on with their paddles which really harms it. It was hard not to though since they sat so close to the surface. Another great reason to have a guide. They would have steered us closer to shore to avoid it all and the stress of realizing we were damaging it.

It was the perfect experience to understand scuba diving. Reda was a patient, knowledgeable and fun instructor. The group caught on quickly and then got to scuba in the lagoon and see coral, fish and sea life. Highly recommend this tour.

My son and I learned so much about the polynesian people and their culture and pride in their ancestry and the spokes person for each island was both funny and informative. I would definitely do this again and the life of breath show was amazing, sat on the front row and a few performers shook our hands after the show!

I reserved a seat in the middle, not in the front row, about seven days ago. An elderly couple from California sat next to me, and we talked about Japan, the culture of Hawaii, and the connection of Okinawan immigrants. The show started with a guitar solo, and at one point, audience members participated in playing the theme song of Five O Hawaii, making it very exciting and enjoyable. Overall, the timing was appropriate, and it was a family-friendly show that also considered Hawaii's history, making it enjoyable even for those who don't understand English. I'm glad I could see such a valuable show on Kalakaua Avenue.

最前列でなく、真ん中の席を7日ほど前に予約していました。隣にカリフォルニアから来られていた老夫婦が座られ、奥様と日本の事、ハワイの文化に沖縄の移民が関係していることなどお話ししました。ショーはギターソロに始まり、途中は客席からもお客さんが参加しFive O Hawaiiのテーマ曲演奏ととてもエキサイティングで和やかなものでした。全体としては時間も適切で、ハワイの歴史も意識したファミリー向けのショーであり、英語がわからない方にも楽しめるものでした。カラカウア通りでこのような価値あるショーが観れてよかったです。

I went to see it on the first day of my arrival. I was in the second row, but since the venue isn't that large, I think you can enjoy it just as much from the back seats. The performance unfolds in eight chapters inspired by stories from Hawaii, and there are also interactive elements that involve the audience, which made me very satisfied.

到着初日に観に行きました。
２列目の席でしたが、会場がそれ程大きくない為、後方の席でも十分楽しめると思います。ハワイの物語にインスパイアされた８つの章が展開され、ユーザー参加型のパフォーマンスもあり大満足です。

Cirque du Soleil has various shows, but the one in Hawaii was a wonderful stage that incorporated Hawaiian dances. There was laughter, and I laughed so much that I felt like my stomach was going to burst. It was also great to be so close to the stage.

シルク・ド・ソレイユは色々ありますが、ハワイでハワイの踊りなどを取り入れたとても素敵なステージでした。
笑いもあり、笑い過ぎてお腹が千切れそうでした。
ステージまでも近くて、とても良かったです。

At first, I honestly thought, "Is this going to be an old-fashioned show?" and didn't have high expectations. However, once I participated, I was completely surprised in a good way. This was not just a tourist event; it was a special experience filled with the essence of Hawaii—the air, warmth, and kindness of the people.

I attended the "VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show." It starts with a buffet-style dinner. Each table is set with plates, and you serve yourself. The beautifully roasted pork and roast beef are cut carefully by the chef right in front of you, creating a lively atmosphere! There’s also a wide variety of fresh salads, yakisoba, grilled chicken, and more, which made my plate overflow.

Before the meal, we were served a welcome Mai Tai. It had a tropical aroma that perfectly matched the Hawaiian atmosphere. With a Mai Tai in hand, a naturally smiling time began.

Amidst this, a local woman appeared with a ukulele. She had the vibe of a lovely neighbor rather than a staff member, and she went around to each table, delivering gentle and warm live performances. Even though it was a short time, being enveloped by her singing and the atmosphere felt like my heart was melting away.

During the meal, hula dancers performed authentic hula right in front of us. Their vibrant yet graceful movements felt like the very essence of the Hawaiian breeze. The dancers were so close that it felt easy to take photos. Additionally, the "Hula Dance Experience Time" started, allowing anyone to join in casually. Invited by the dancers, both children and adults naturally joined the circle, laughing as they experienced the hula steps. The entire venue was wrapped in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Afterward, we walked about 30 seconds from the dining area to the main show venue. This is where "Rock-a-Hula" truly begins. On stage, impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson appeared! Their singing and dancing were astonishingly high-quality, creating an impression of "living entertainment" that went beyond mere impersonation. Enjoying classic hits from legendary stars with the latest lighting and a powerful live band is truly a unique charm of this show.

Above all, what came through from the performers and staff was their genuine desire for the guests to have a great time. Their thoughtful attention and warm responses were felt in every moment, and before I knew it, my initial impression of "this might be old-fashioned" had completely vanished.

Rock-a-Hula is an experience that transforms a Hawaiian night into a special memory. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been yet; it was a time filled with smiles and happiness.

はじめは正直、「昔ながらのショーかな？」とあまり期待していなかったんです。でも実際に参加してみると、それは完全にいい意味で裏切られました。これは、ただの観光イベントではなく、ハワイの空気や温かさ、人の優しさまでもがぎゅっと詰まった、とっておきの体験でした。

参加したのは「VIPワイキキルアウビュッフェ＆ショー」。まずはビュッフェスタイルのディナーから始まります。各テーブルにはお皿が用意されていて、自分で料理を取りに行くスタイル。豪快にローストされた豚やローストビーフは、シェフが目の前で一枚ずつ丁寧にカットしてくれて、ライブ感満点！ さらにフレッシュなサラダや焼きそば、グリルチキンなど種類も豊富で、思わずプレートが山盛りになってしまいました。

食事の前には、ウェルカムマイタイが一杯ついてきます。これがまたトロピカルな香りで、ハワイの空気にぴったり。マイタイを片手に、自然と笑顔になるような時間が始まります。

そんな中、ふと現れたのがウクレレを抱えたローカルの女性。スタッフというより、まるでご近所の素敵なおばあちゃんといった雰囲気の彼女が、各テーブルをまわりながら、優しくあたたかい音色で生演奏を届けてくれます。短い時間ながら、その歌声と空気に包まれて、心がふわっと解けていくようなひとときでした。

そして、食事中には目の前でフラダンサーたちが本場のフラを披露。華やかでありながらも優美な動きは、まるでハワイの風そのもの。ダンサーとの距離がとても近くて、写真を撮るのも遠慮なくできる雰囲気。さらにその場で始まる「フラダンス体験タイム」は、誰でも気軽に参加できます。ダンサーに誘われて、子どもも大人も自然と輪に加わり、笑いながらフラのステップを体験。会場全体がほんわかとあたたかい空気に包まれました。

その後、食事会場から30秒ほど歩いて本格的なショー会場へ。ここからが「ロック・ア・フラ」の本番です。ステージには、あのエルヴィス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんたちが登場！ 歌もダンスも驚くほどの完成度で、ただのモノマネを超えた“生きたエンターテインメント”という印象。往年のスターの名曲を、最新の照明と迫力の生バンドで楽しめるのは、まさにこのショーならではの魅力です。

そして何より、演者やスタッフから伝わってくるのは「お客さんに心から楽しんでもらいたい」という思い。細やかな気配りやあたたかい対応が、すべての瞬間に感じられて、気づけば最初の「古いかも？」という印象はどこかへ吹き飛んでいました。

ロック・ア・フラは、ハワイの夜を特別な思い出に変えてくれる体験です。まだ行ったことのない人にはぜひおすすめしたい、笑顔と幸福感あふれる時間でした。

My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. We got to kayak, snorkel and swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The crew was extremely sweet, the live music was phenomenal and the views were breathtaking. We would go back 100%.

We gathered before 6 AM 😅, but our bus driver Javier and instructor Fuko were already preparing even earlier, which was a small inspiration as we started. It took about an hour to reach Waianae in the west. Since it was my first time in the west, I felt a bit anxious, but we boarded the Poseidon with Dolphin University and performed a ritual before entering the sea, then headed out to search for dolphins... At the second spot, we were fortunate to find a pod of dolphins swimming beautifully 🐬✨. When I asked Fuko, she said the water was 1,000 meters deep! I was amazed by the depth of the ocean beyond my imagination! Then, we moved to a depth of 10 meters, where I was once again touched by the sight of honu and many tropical fish 🥹. We even slid down the slide attached to the boat, returning to our childhood... It was a tour filled with so much excitement! ✨

朝6時前の集合😅でも、バスドライバーのハビエルさんやインストラクターの風子さんは、もっと早くから用意してるんだよなぁ、と小さい感動をしながらのスタート。1時間ほどかけて、西のワイアナエまで。西は初めてだったので、ちょっと不安でしたが笑　イルカ大学さんのポセイドンに乗船し、海に入る儀式をしてから、イルカを探しに沖へ…2度目のポイントで見事に群れで泳ぐイルカさん🐬達を見つけてくださいました✨風子さんに聞いたら、水深1000メートルと‼️想像以上の海の深さに感動しました！　そして、移動して水深10メートルにて、ホヌやたくさんの熱帯魚にまたまた感動🥹　船についてる滑り台で、童心に帰ったりして…盛りだくさんのツアーでした✨

Best time ever, We will go again and again . So much fun

This was a fantastic snorkeling tour. Very organized. Dan and his wife were very professional and courteous. The equipment was provided, along with water and snacks. Pickup and drop off was very convenient. Thanks for a wonderful adventure!

As mentioned in other reviews, the sand dust was quite intense, but I was able to fully enjoy the vast scenery!! Just after returning home, Jurassic Park was airing on TV, so I was able to enjoy the movie even after my trip!

他の人のレビューにもあるように砂ぼこりがすごかったけど、広大な景色を存分に楽しめました！！
ちょうど帰国後にジェラシックパークがテレビで放映されていたので、帰国後も映画を観て楽しむことができました！

The hotel provided transportation, of course, and I was able to enjoy the experience with safety as the top priority. The flight course is affected by the weather, and there may be times when flying is not possible. Since there’s no way to reschedule the day before returning home, it seems better to book for an early date the day after arrival. The organization is run by Japanese people, so there’s no need to worry about language, which is reassuring. During my stay, I was able to communicate in Japanese using LINE. Although the costs are not necessarily low due to the weak yen, I felt that the value was more than sufficient, and I would like to rely on them again for my next trip to Hawaii. Thank you, Kaz, Captain, and everyone else.

宿泊していたホテルとの送迎は勿論ですが、安全第一で操縦を味わうことが出来ました。フライトコースは天候に左右され、飛べない時も有るようで、帰国日前日だとリスケジュールのしようがないので、到着日翌日の早い日付で予約した方が良さそうです。運営主体は日本人なので言葉の心配がなく安心です。滞在中はLINEを使って日本語で連絡が取れます。円安だと費用は決して安くないですが、価値は十分に感じることが出来て、次回のハワイ旅行で再びお世話になりたいと思いました。カズさん、キャプテン、その他の皆さん、ありがとうございました。

I wanted to have a special experience in Hawaii, so I joined a sunset sailing tour. Although it was just a little over an hour long, it turned out to be a very memorable and enjoyable time!

We boarded the boat during daylight and were able to see the changing sky from sunset to nightfall while on the water. There were unlimited drinks and even chips provided. The original Mai Tai was incredibly delicious!

I think about 30-40% of the participants were Japanese. The crew was also very proactive in taking photos, which made for the best memories!

ハワイで何か特別な体験を、と思いサンセットセーリングのツアーに参加しました。
わずか1時間少しのツアーですが、とても印象に残る良い時間になりました！
明るい時間から船にのり、夕焼けから日が沈むまでの移りゆく空を、船の上で見ることができます。
ドリンク飲み放題でチップスまで配られます。オリジナルのマイタイもすごくおいしかったです！
参加される方で、日本人の割合は3-4割だったかなと思います。
クルーの方も積極的に写真を撮ってくださったり、最高の思い出になりました！

The instructor was incredibly kind, gentle, and attentive! It was a family experience tour for adults with children, and we were very satisfied.

インストラクターが、とにかく親切、優しい、丁寧！子どもが成長して、大人家族での体験ツアーでしたが、大満足でした。

Had a fantastic tour around the island. We had short stops at all the places of interest. The highlight of the day was seeing turtles coming out of the water onto the beach.
It was a very full day with lots to see and great it was a small group.
It would have been great to make a stop at Haleiwa as it looked interesting but we were running out of time.
Overall a fantastic day

I had high expectations and was looking forward to attending, and the show was even more wonderful than I imagined. The venue isn't very large, so I think you can enjoy it from any seat.

期待を高く持ち楽しみに参加しましたが想像以上に素晴らしいショーでした。
会場もそんなに大きくはなくどの席でも十分楽しめると思います。

The venue isn't very large, so the show is very powerful up close. The performers are fascinating, ranging from interesting individuals to those with incredible acting skills, making it a very captivating show. If you go to Hawaii, be sure to see it!

会場がそこまで大きくない分、ショーが真近であるのでとても大迫力です。演者も面白い人から演技の凄い人からとても魅力的なショーなので是非ハワイに行ったら見てください

Even though it's called a sandbar, the sandy beach and sea in the photo are only available during limited times, so be cautious if you plan to visit. Also, the timing was bad, and it was cold. Activities also require waiting in line, so you can't do them at your own pace.

サンドバーといっても写真のイメージの砂浜と海があるのは限られた時期で行く場合は要注意です。あとは時期が悪くて寒かったです。
アクティビティも順番待ちで自分のタイミングで出来るわけではない。

The food was delicious and there were various options to enjoy. I was moved by taking photos with the cast, including look-alikes of Michael Jackson, who resembled him very well.

食べ物もおいしく、いろいろあり楽しめました。
キャストと写真もとったり感動しました。マイケルジャクソンなど
そっくりさん、よく似ていました。

As someone who has seen Cirque du Soleil performances in Las Vegas and Japan multiple times, I found the show in Hawaii to be wonderfully stylish in expressing the essence of Hawaii. However, the venue was small and the performance duration was short, which left me feeling somewhat unsatisfied with the overall content. Given that I had a good seat and the price was accordingly high, I felt a bit disappointed, especially since my expectations were quite high.

本場ラスベガスや日本でのシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユの公演を何度も観てきた者として、今回のハワイでのショーは、ハワイらしさがスタイリッシュに表現されていた点はとても素敵でした。ただ、会場の規模が小さく、上演時間も短かったため、全体的な内容としてはやや物足りなさを感じました。良い席で鑑賞したこともあり、それなりの価格でしたが、期待が大きかった分、少し残念に思ってしまいました。
