All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

The park opens at 10:30, so it's always disappointing that we have to wrap things up feeling a bit unsatisfied. I understand it's to accommodate those who want to participate in cruises that day, but that's just the situation. Is there any way to have a 4 PM gathering to increase the satisfaction of the activities?

開園が10:30なので、あと一歩物足りない感じで切り上げないといけないのが毎年残念です。
その日クルーズなどに参加したい人に合わせてとのことですが、それはその事情なので。
アクティビティの満足度をあげるために16時集合に出来ないのでしょうか。

All the actions were great. I was very satisfied to see it in authentic Hawaii. I want to go see it again. Depending on the seat, there might be announcements...

全てのアクションが良かったです。本場のハワイで見る事ができ大満足です。また見に行きたいです。座席によってはお呼び出しがあるかもしれないです……

The driver's response was very polite. It seems that it's possible to take a regular bus, but in the early morning, this kind of shuttle service is more reassuring.

運転手さんの対応はご丁寧でした。
路線バスでも行けない事は無さそうですが、早朝の場合はこうした送迎サービスの方が安心です。

10/10 recommend. Great staff. Friendly. Great music.

After 20 years? Following the storm and days of heavy rain leading up to it, the morning of the tour was clear, but upon arriving at the site, the clouds looked suspicious. As expected, it rained occasionally during the trek. The path was muddy, and there were signs of fallen trees, but our guide was attentive to safety issues, allowing us to complete the trek safely.

The tour was a mixed group of English speakers and Japanese participants, but with two guides (who also drove), we were able to split into English and Japanese groups, so there were no language issues, and we could enjoy ourselves without worry. At Tantalus Hill, the weather was clear, and we could see from Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor.

Thank you to our guides, Shin and Jason, for a fun tour with great safety considerations.

20年ぶり？のストーム後、前日まで連日の大雨で、当日も朝は晴れていましたが、現地に到着すると怪しい雲行き。
案の定、トレッキング中も時々雨が降りました。
道はぬかるんでいて、倒木の跡もありましたが、ガイドさんが危険事項を都度注意してくれて安全にトレッキングを終えることができました。
ツアー英語圏の方と日本人の混載ツアーでしたが、2名のガイドさん(兼運転手さん)で英語班と日本語班で行動したので言語の問題はなく、安心して楽しく過ごすことができました。
タンタラスの丘では晴天で、ダイヤモンドヘッド〜パールハーバーまで見渡すことができました。
ガイドの進さん、ジェイソンさん、安全配慮の楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

The buffet had a variety of dishes from different countries, and I was happy to be able to choose my favorites. The performers seemed to be having a great time showcasing their talents, which made it enjoyable for us as well. I'm glad I decided to splurge a little and participate. Thank you very much.

ビュッフェ料理は色んな国の料理があって、自分の好きなものを選べて良かったです。
パフォーマンスは演者の方々がとても楽しそうに披露してくれて、こちらまで楽しくなりました。
少し奮発して参加を決めて正解でした。
ありがとうございました。

On the day, it was cloudy and it rained on the way back. At the sandbar, the captain brought boards and inflatable canoes, allowing us to play as much as we wanted, creating a very private atmosphere. There were also plenty of snacks and drinks prepared for us. When we got tired of playing, the captain took us on a cruise to see rays and sea turtles, providing excellent service. In the rain, the other groups around us looked cold, wrapped in beach towels, but the captain lent us sweatshirts, so we could comfortably play in the water without worry. On the way back, they also lent us umbrellas and raincoats. Since it was such a great experience, I hope for sunny weather next time and will definitely try again.

当日は曇りで帰りに雨が降りました。サンドバーでは、キャプテンがボードや浮き輪カヌーなどを持ってきてくれて、遊び放題でプライベート感満載でした。スナックやドリンクもたくさん準備してくれています。遊び飽きたらクルージングでエイやウミガメを見に連れて行ってくれたりと、サービス満点でした。雨の中、周りの集団の方達はバスタオルにくるまり寒そうでしたが、キャプテンがスエットを貸してくれるので終始水の中でも平気で思う存分遊べました。帰りは傘とレインコートも貸してくれました。せっかくなので、次回晴れることを祈ってまたチャレンジします。

The crowd was moderate, and we were able to enjoy all the attractions with only a short wait time. The wave pool and the thrilling water slides were all of high quality, making for a very satisfying travel experience.

適度な混み具合で、どのアトラクションも少しの待ち時間で乗ることが出来ました。波が出るプールや、スリル満点のウォータースライダーは、どれも完成度が高く大満足の旅行体験になりました。

Due to the rain, we couldn't see the fireworks and had a buffet inside the hotel instead. We had a family photo taken, which we could purchase, but it wasn't free. There was a welcome drink available. Unfortunately, we didn't receive any leis. It was disappointing since the kids were looking forward to it. We had drink tickets for three drinks, but we only had one. The cultural experience felt a bit lacking as well. The show was good, though. I thought we wouldn't be able to see the fire dance indoors, but we were able to, which was nice. The buffet had a limited selection, but it was delicious. The seasoning was suitable for Japanese tastes, and the kids went back for seconds. Overall, it was below expectations due to the rain, but I hope to participate again next time, praying for sunny weather.

雨のため花火は見れず、ホテル内でのビュッフェでした。家族写真を撮ってもらい、購入できます。無料ではありません。ウェルカムドリンクあり。レイはもらえませんでした。子供が楽しみにしていたので残念でした。ドリンクチケットが3杯分ありましたが、一杯しか飲みませんでした。文化体験も、今一な感じでした。ショーは良かったです。ファイヤーダンスも室内だから見れないと思っていましたが、見れたので良かったです。ビュッフェは品数少なかったですが、美味しかったです。日本人にも合う味付けで、子供達もおかわりに行きました。トータルして雨だったので期待以下でしたが、次回も晴れるのを祈って参加したいと思います。

I rode a submarine for the first time. I had a great time enjoying the underwater world where fish and sea turtles live. It became a memorable time in Hawaii! I highly recommend it.

初めて潜水艦に乗りました。お魚やウミガメが暮らしている海底の世界を満喫できてとっても楽しかったです。ハワイで思い出に残る時間となりました！とってもおすすめです。

I went horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain, but they provided raincoats, which was a big help. The ground was muddy due to the rain, but the horses walked carefully, so there was no danger, and I was able to enjoy it. The two hours flew by. I participated in my 60s, and it was great. Thank you very much.

クアロアランチで乗馬をしました。あいにくの大雨でしたが、レインコート貸し出しがあり助かりました。雨で泥濘んでいましたが慎重に馬が歩いたので、危険はなく、楽しめました。2時間があっという間に終わりました。60代での参加でしたが、良かったです。ありがとうございました。

We participated in a Segway tour as a family. We were able to travel and sightsee distances that would be impossible to walk. It was fun to visit places that we couldn't reach by bus. The instructor was also kind and took a lot of photos for us. We really had a great time. Thank you very much!

セグウェイを家族で参加しました。
歩くのには無理な距離を移動して観光できました。バスでは行けない所も訪れて楽しかったです。インストラクターさんも親切で写真もいっぱい撮ってもらえました。本当に楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

It was pouring rain and cold, and the seats were cramped. The foreigner next to me smelled strongly of perfume, which was disappointing. However, the show was incredibly fun! One more disappointment was that even though I reserved VIP seats, I ended up at the edge. I think it's better to make a reservation without a meal for this show. I believe both Elvis and Michael were at a high level.

土砂降りの雨で寒いし、席が、狭くお隣の、外人は香水の匂いで、くさ〜いしで残念でした。
ですが、ショーは最高に楽しかったです。もう一つ残念なのはVIP席を、選んで予約したのにハジの席でした。このショーは食事無しでの、予約が良いと、思います。
エルビスもマイケルも、レベルが高いと思います。

I experienced the USS Missouri, which was an active battleship until recently. There was so much I didn't know about the wartime situation, the Japanese Imperial Army, the Kamikaze attacks, and the Missouri's role after the Pacific War. It was very educational. Spending a whole day there was definitely worth it.

最近まで現役戦艦だったミズーリを体験。当時の戦況、日本帝国軍の状況、神風特攻隊の展示、太平洋戦争後のミズーリ等、知らないことがたくさんあって、とても勉強になりました。１日掛けても価値のあるミズーリ号でした。

I opted for the pickup service, but while waiting at the pickup location, the bus did not arrive, so I called the contact number. Unfortunately, the person on the phone only spoke English, which made it difficult for me to understand the situation, and I ended up feeling anxious because I couldn't get the information I needed.

However, once I was there, the staff members were very entertaining, and it turned out to be a memorable tour. I was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and canoeing multiple times for free, which made the time fly by. I'm really glad I participated.

送迎付きにしましたが、ピックアップ場所で待っていてもバスが来なかったため問い合わせ先に電話を掛けました。しかし、電話口が英語での対応だったため内容を理解できず、結局問い合わせができず不安になったのは残念な点でした。
現地では、スタッフの方々が楽しませてくださり、とても思い出に残るツアーになりました。シュノーケリングやカヌーなど無料で何度もおこなうことができたため、しっかり楽しめて時間があっという間でした。参加してよかったです。

At the site, a Japanese staff member provided explanations in Japanese at the beginning, which made me feel at ease. During the buggy experience, the explanations were given in English by local foreign staff. The buggy ride was thrilling as we raced through the great outdoors, and it felt fantastic. There was also time to buy souvenirs and enjoy meals, making for a fulfilling experience. I would definitely like to participate again.

現地では、始めに日本人スタッフが説明してくださり日本語だったので安心しました。バギー体験中は、現地の外国人スタッフだったので英語での説明でした。バギー体験は、大自然のなかを駆け抜けるのでスリル満点で気持ちよかったです。お土産を買う時間や食事も食べる時間もあり充実した時間を過ごせました。また、是非参加したいです。

It was a bit cold in February. Unfortunately, I had to give up snorkeling because it was too cold. The tour guide was a very cheerful Japanese person, which made me feel at ease participating. I was satisfied enjoying the beautiful sea from the boat.

2月で少し寒かったです。残念ながらシュノーケリングは寒すぎて断念しました。ツアーの方はとても明るい日本人の方で、安心して参加でできました。美しい海を船から楽しめ満足しています。

Although the weather was bad during the meal, I was glad that the tent was well-prepared for rain and wind. The buffet menu was abundant, and I was able to enjoy a lot of local flavors in the food.

In the VIP section, there were seats where we could see the dance lessons up close, and it was amazing to practice while interacting with the dancers!

I was able to watch the show from the front row indoors. The lively dance and singing filled my heart with warmth.

After the show, the performers lined up at the exit, allowing us to take photos together. They were very kind and took the time to pose with us!

This became my best memory from my first trip to Hawaii!

食事中は悪天候でしたが、テントでしっかり雨風対策がされていて良かったです。
ビュッフェのメニューも豊富でローカルな味わいのご飯をたくさん食べることができました。
VIP席では踊りのレッスンも間近に見られる席が準備され、ダンサーと触れ合いながら練習できて最高でした！

ショーは室内で最前列で見ることができました。
心弾むダンスと歌で気持ちが熱く満たされました。

ショーが終わった後に、出口までずらりと出演者が並んでいるので一緒に写真撮影をすることができます。
とても親切で丁寧に一緒に撮ってもらえました！

初ハワイでの一番いい思い出となりました！

I had to share the experience to my sister and her family that my kids and I had the first time we went here back in June 2025. For my nephew's bday March of 2026, I suggested to go to the Kaneohe sand bar again. The consistency of their best service is just really incredible. From the warm welcome of the staff, the island vibe voices of the singers, the lifeguards who constantly keeping an eye to the kids, the captain who made the banana boat super exciting and safe. The place, the view and the people gave us all an unforgettable experience. Looking forward for the next visit, hopefully with the rest of our extended family. Mahalo/ Salamat!

I participated again this year, just like last year. Since I have a family member in a wheelchair, I was unsure whether to reserve seats directly on the site, but because it was during the credit card discount period, it turned out to be more economical to book through Beltora, so I made the reservation.

Last year, I could only reserve seats in the seating area through Beltora, but this time I was able to reserve a wheelchair space, which was great. The staff scanned the QR code I saved on my phone. Since the venue is accessed via an escalator, wheelchair users are accompanied by staff who take them to the venue using the elevator.

The overall story was similar, but there were different performances compared to last year, so I think it would be enjoyable to go every year.

昨年に引き続きの参加です。
車椅子の家族がいるので、直接サイトで座席指定しようか、迷いましたが、クレジットカード割引の期間だったのもあり、ベルトラさんで予約した方がお得になったので、予約しました。
昨年はベルトラさんでは、座席部分でしか予約できませんでしたが、今回は車椅子スペース座席の予約ができたため、よかったです。
携帯に保存したQRをスタッフさんが読み取ってくれます。会場はエスカレーターであがっていくため、車椅子ユーザーはスタッフさんに連れられエレベーターで会場まであがる感じになります。
大まかなストーリーは一緒でしたが、昨年と違う演出もあり、毎年行っても楽しめると思います。

We enjoyed the all day view of many areas of the island.

With the unique acrobatics that only Cirque du Soleil can offer, along with an invitation into the world of artistic painting and hilarious performances that involve the audience, it feels like an experience on a thrilling ride. Time flies by in an instant, and every moment is so precious that you wouldn't want to even blink. It's undoubtedly a valuable life experience.

シルクドソレイユならではの、手に汗握るアクロバットの連続に加えて、芸術的な絵画の世界への誘い、そして会場からの参加者を加えての爆笑パフォーマンス。そして最後は絶叫マシーンに乗ったような経験・・・。
あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまうのだけれど、一時も無駄に出来ない、瞬きするのも勿体ないような場面の連続、人生の貴重な体験になること間違い無し。

At first, I was a bit scared, but while they were saying things like "let go" and "coconut," my understanding was halved because I don't understand English.

最初は　びびりましたがー　てをはなせーとか　ココナッツ🥥ー　なんていわれながら
英語わからないから　ちょび半減

Even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt nauseous and ended up vomiting after landing. Also, because of the rapid descent, I didn't have the chance to equalize my ears, and they became extremely painful. I couldn't even enjoy the scenery and ended up forgetting about it, so I recommend buying the video, even though it's expensive.

酔い止めを飲んでも酔って地上に降りてから吐きました。また、急降下するので耳抜きをする余裕もなく、めちゃくちゃ耳が痛くなります。景色を楽しむ余裕もなく忘れてしまうので、高いですが動画を買うのをおすすめします。

I participated with a friend. Riding horses through the magnificent scenery was an experience beyond my imagination. The weather was perfect, with the sea, mountains, wind, and sunshine all being amazing! Next, I want to ride a buggy.

友人と２人で参加しました。
壮大な景色の中を馬に乗りながら巡り想像していた以上の体験でした。
お天気も最高で海、山、風、日差し…すべてが最高でした！
次はバギーに乗りたいです。

I've been here at least five times. Whenever I come to Hawaii, I always go there. I only ride the thrill rides. You should definitely try the board experience.

もー5回はきてます　ハワイに来たら　必ず行きます　絶叫系しか乗りません
ボード体験は　やったほーがいい

Due to a rare weather disruption that occurs once every few decades, it was difficult to carry out the originally scheduled date, but they proposed an alternative date, making it possible for us to participate. The captain was very friendly and treated my family, who are not very familiar with English, with great kindness. Thanks to his patient instruction on fishing techniques, we were able to catch some fish! He was also very gentle with my child, who got seasick, which made for a very satisfying experience. If we have the opportunity to go again, I would definitely like to use their services.

数十年に１度の天候悪化のタイミングで当初予定していた日程の実施が難しかったのですが別日程を提案頂き利用が可能となりました。
船長は非常に気さくな方で英語が不慣れな家族にも非常にフレンドリーに接してくれて釣り方についても親切に教えてくれたおかげで釣る事も出来ました！
船酔いになってしまった子供にも優しく接してくれて非常に満足のいく体験でした。
また行く機会がありましたらぜひ利用したい先です。

I had a reservation, so I was able to enjoy it without any worries. The server was very pleasant. As mentioned in other posts, it seems there is no consideration for anniversaries. (I informed them in advance that it was my parents' wedding anniversary, but there was nothing special.)

予約してあるので気軽に楽しめました。
サーバーの方の感じが良かったです。
他の投稿にもありましたが記念日についての配慮は無さそうです。
（事前に両親の結婚記念日にあたることを伝えましたが特に何もありませんでした）

Because of our schedule, we chose to take the sunrise tour to Diamond Head. There is only one company that offers it that I could tell. It is an expensive ride, but you are the first one there. Note that you arrive 45 minutes before the park opens so you will be waiting in line to get in. You will need to use your flashlight on your phone to get up to the top and the hike is moderately difficult. We were lucky and had a beautiful view on the top. The malsadas are a yummy treat at the end.

I was told that we could hike at our own pace, but considering the meeting time, I couldn't take it too slowly. For those who don't exercise much on a regular basis, want to take breaks while climbing, or want to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace, it might feel a bit rushed.

There are Japanese brochures available, and the driver spoke a little Japanese, which was reassuring. I didn't feel particularly anxious about that.

The pickup was on time, but the return meeting was about 15 minutes late. I felt a bit disappointed, thinking that if I had known, I could have taken it a bit slower.

自分のペースでハイキングとあったのですが、集合時間を考えるとあまりゆっくりはできなかったです。日頃からあまり運動をされていない方、休憩しなから登りたい方、景色をゆっくり楽しみたい方には慌ただしいかなと思います。
日本語のパンフレットもあるし、運転してくださる方は片言ですが日本語を話してくださりました。特に不安はありません。
お迎えは遅刻することはありませんでしたが、帰りの待ち合わせは15分ぐらい遅れてきました。それなら、もう少しゆっくりできたのにと少し残念な気持ちになりました。
