All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Almost walked out as show was late starting. But after show started it was great

There are tours available in Japanese on the battleship, and I was able to learn a lot about the history of the USS Missouri, especially places related to Japan.

戦艦には日本語でのツアーもあり、戦艦ミズーリの歴史、特に日本に関係のある場所をよく知ることができました。

You can enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling at the sandy beach in the shallow waters offshore. The strong winds made SUP quite challenging, but I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. It's no problem even for those who are new to snorkeling. There are staff members who speak Japanese, which was reassuring. The scenery and the ocean are beautiful, offering a different kind of experience compared to other beaches.

沖にある浅瀬の砂浜でSUPやシュノーケリングを楽しむことができます。風が強かったのでSUPは難易度が高かったですが、シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることができました。シュノーケリング初めての方でも問題なしです。日本語の話せるスタッフの方がいらっしゃるので安心でした。景色も海も綺麗で、他のビーチとは違った楽しみ方ができます。

A cheerful guide with 200% enthusiasm will take you through the jungle by car. It's a real mountain road, so it's like a roller coaster activity. I was torn between this and a movie location tour, but if you're not that invested in movies, I recommend this one. The scenery was beautiful and it was fantastic!

テンション200%の陽気なガイドさんが車でジャングルを案内してくれます。本格的な山道なので、ジェットコースターみたいなアクティビティです。映画のロケ地ツアーと迷いましたが、そこまで映画に思い入れがない人はこちらがおすすめ。景色も綺麗で最高でした！

After arriving at Kualoa Ranch, there were some parts of the explanation that were a bit unclear. The horseback riding experience varies depending on the personality of the horse, so compatibility can differ between people and horses. I recommend studying how to ride and handle horses in advance!

説明は全部英語でクアロアランチ到着後、多少説明がわかりづらい部分はありました。乗馬体験は、馬によっても性格も違うので相性が合うかは人と馬によりけりです。馬の乗り方や馬の操り方を事前に勉強しておくことをオススメします！

When you think of Hawaii, you think of the trolley while feeling the breeze. You can enjoy it just by riding along without doing anything, and I believe this is more of an attraction than just a means of transportation.

It's helpful that they sell tickets separately without going through His, but since the pandemic, the discount tricks are no longer available, and it's too expensive, so I reduced my rating. However, you could say it's lucky that it's less crowded than before.

Be careful as the railings are so open that you might drop something. Hats can fly off, and depending on the driver, they might start moving before everyone is seated, and some drivers have rough driving styles. This is not Japan. Everyone should be cautious and take responsibility for themselves, as you shouldn't ride with a Japanese mindset.

Because of this, infants and toddlers can only sit in priority seats that are covered by railings (it feels scary to sit anywhere else). If you start from the first train, staff will guide you to the priority seats, but if you're boarding from the suburbs and there are no seats available, you should actively ask others to make space for the priority seats. Many drivers lack the Japanese language skills to explain this.

This is what Hawaii is all about.

やっぱりハワイといえば、
風を浴びながらのトロリー。
何をしなくても、ぼけーっと乗っているだけでたのしめる、これはもはや移動手段じゃなくアトラクションだと思っています。

Hisを通さず旅行しても、
こうやって単品で売ってくれて助かるのですが、コロナ後からは裏技の割引も使えなくなり、高すぎますので星を減らしました。
ただ、昔より空いていてラッキーともいえます。

ものを落としそうなくらい足元の空いた柵なのでくれぐれも注意、
帽子は飛びますし、ドライバーさんによっては着席前の発車もザラ、
荒い運転のかたもいて、
そこは、日本ではありません。
みなさんくれぐれも、日本の感覚では乗らないように、自己責任で。

そのため幼児や赤子は柵が覆われた優先席しか乗れません(怖くてそこじゃないとという感じ)
始発からだと係員に優先席を案内してもらえるのですが、郊外などからのる場合、
空いてなければ自分から積極的に優先席を開けて欲しいと、声をかけましょう。
ドライバーも、それを説明するほどの日本語力がない方が多いので。

やっぱりハワイは、これです。

This was an amazing ride. All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and bent over backwards to ensure everyone had a great time. The trip was perfect. You got sandbar time, turtle time and snorkeling.

It was a valuable experience. Thank you very much. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again. Thank you.

貴重な体験となりました。ありがとうございました。機会があれば、また参加させて頂きたいです。ありがとうございます。

What a great way to spend an afternoon! The company offers plenty of activities for you to stay active if you want out on the sandbar, or you can just chill out and lounge in the sandbar living room. The lunch was awesome! The staff was very friendly and professional. The 2 man band had amazing talent! I truly enjoyed the experience. It was very relaxing and fun. Thank you for the memories and joy!

To enter Hanauma Bay as soon as it opened, the morning pickup was a bit earlier. I was lucky to catch the sunrise at a nearby coastline while adjusting my schedule before entering!

This was my third visit to Hanauma Bay. The weather was perfect, but the ocean at 7 AM was still quite cold as the water temperature hadn't warmed up yet. Still, the view was absolutely stunning! I was very satisfied to see so many fish.

ハナウマの開園と同時に入場する為、朝のピックアップは少し早めでした。
入場前に時間調整で近くの海岸線で日の出も見れてラッキー！

ハナウマ湾に来るのは3回目
お天気は最高でしたが、やはり朝7時の海は、みだ水温が上がらず冷たかったです(^^;
それでも、やはり絶景！魚達も沢山見れて大満足でした。

The sea was beautiful, the guide was kind, and there were light snacks, making it a great tour. I was satisfied to see sea turtles while snorkeling.

海もきれいでガイドさんも優しく、軽食もあり大変良いツアーでした
シュノーケリングでウミガメも見ることができて満足です

Tommy picked us up early at a neighboring hotel/resort. As soon as we arrived, he mentioned me and my son by name and I signed a sheet stating we were present. He was kind, patient, relaxed and informative about the area offering great suggestions on different locations. This experience included our entrance fee to Diamond Head State Monument, transportation to and from the hotel. Our hike was moderate and offered beautiful scenery and awesome photo opportunities. The only area I felt somewhat claustrophobic was going into the tunnel on the way up. Tommy provided cold as well as room temperature water and the ride back was comfortable and convenient as we were dropped off right in front of our resort. Thank you for a great experience! Mahalo!

I was a bit apprehensive after reading reviews about horses acting up, but the horse I rode was very calm and didn't act out at all! All the other horses were also well-behaved and adorable!

The guide spoke entirely in English, so I couldn't fully understand since I'm still studying the language. However, the guide communicated safety checks in Japanese during the ride, which made me feel very reassured! I hope to improve my English soon so I can participate again!

口コミで馬が暴れて大変だったなど等を見て少し身構えていましたが、とても大人しい馬で暴れるなどは全くありませんでした！他の方の馬も暴れることなくどの馬もみんな可愛かったです！
ガイドは全て英語のため、英語勉強中の私にはまだ理解できませんでした、、
乗馬中の安全確認はガイドさんが日本語で話しかけてくれたのでとても安心感がありました！早く英語が出来るようになってからまた参加したいと思いました！

I had some concerns about the reservation in Japan, but I received communication via LINE, and even though I arrived earlier than the meeting time on the day of the tour, the bus came early, leading to an earlier departure. We arrived at the destination ahead of schedule and were able to fully enjoy our time there. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. I would like to use this service again on my next trip to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

日本での予約に心配もありましたが、LINEでご連絡頂いたり、当日も待ち合わせ時間より早く着いてしまったのですが、バスも早く来ていて時間より早い出発となり、現地到着も予定より早く、たっぷり満喫する事ができました。
本当にこのツアーに参加して良かったです。
次回のハワイでもまた、利用したいです。
有難うございました。

On the first day of my trip, I was able to see a wonderful show, and it made me feel like I had truly arrived in Hawaii! The performers looked just like the celebrities, and the photo session after the show is a memorable experience!

旅行初日に素敵なショーを見ることが出来て、ハワイに来たなと実感出来ました！
有名人にもそっくりで、ショー後の写真撮影も思い出に残ってます！

I didn't understand English, but a very kind Japanese person taught me throughout, allowing me to enjoy without any difficulties. The pool in Japan had views I had never seen before and numerous thrilling water slides, making it a lot of fun for us who love adrenaline-pumping rides. There are also some slightly scary slides, but there are gentle ones as well, so I thought it would be easy to give them a try. One day wasn't enough, so if I travel to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go back.

英語がわからなかったのですが日本人の方がとても親切に終始教えてくださり不自由なく楽しむことができました。日本のプールでは見たことのない景色と数々のスリル満点のウォータースライダーがあり絶叫系が好きな私たちにとってとても楽しく過ごせました。また、少し怖いスライダーもありますが優しいスライダーもあるので気軽に挑戦できると思いました。1日じゃ物足りないくらいだったのでまたハワイに旅行に行く時があればぜひ行きたいです。

Lola was an awesome driver & host. We had & very interesting, informative, & relaxing drive around the North Shore.

I’m so happy I booked this excursion. The staff were super friendly and interactive with everyone. The music was great! And the location was just breathtaking. The water was warm, crystal clear and safe to swim and do other activities.
This excursion was so worth it!!!

We did everything they offered, tube ride, banana boat turtle watching, snorkeling, SUP boarding, kayaking, throwing the football. We loved this and will definitely do it on our next trip. They even have a big floating living room. And the snorkeling was really good- saw all kinds of fish. Loved this trip.

We'll scheduled. Both drivers were really nice and friendly.

Two days before departing for Hawaii, I learned about "Auwana" and signed up just before leaving. Although I was in the second-floor seating, the venue was small enough that I enjoyed it thoroughly. The show allowed me to experience Hawaiian culture, and the performances were incredibly powerful. There was also a participatory program that was a lot of fun. The showtime flew by in an instant. Children can also enjoy it. For those traveling, I highly recommend checking it out.

ハワイ出発の二日前に「アウアナ」のことを知り、出発直前に申し込みました。
二階席でしたが、会場が狭いので十分楽しめました。ハワイの文化に触れながら見られるショーでパフォーマンスもすごい迫力でした。参加者型のプログラムもありとても楽しむことができました。ショータイムは、あっという間に過ぎてしまいます。子どもも楽しめます。旅行に行かれる方、是非見に行ってほしいと思います。

There were a lot of people, so the start was delayed. However, once the preparations began, everything moved quickly, and we soon transferred into the helicopter. The instructor was very considerate, which was great. I felt a moment of fear just before the dive, but during the fall, it was exhilarating. It was an amazing experience!

人数が多かったのかスタートが遅かったです。
でも、準備が始まってからは一気にことご進んであっという間にヘリの中に移動。
インストラクターがすごく気を遣ってくれてよかったです。
ダイブする瞬間だけ恐怖を感じましたが落ちてる最中はうおーって感じでした。
とても素晴らしい体験でした！

The sandbar itself is a must-go! Staff with KBSO were so friendly and professional, and the tour was well organized. We really enjoyed the snorkeling and water play in the clear shallow water 😊

We participated as a couple. It was amazing to be able to stand in the middle of the ocean, just a short distance from the port to the sandbar. The afternoon snorkeling was wonderful as we could enjoy the corals and many fish. The guides and staff who spoke Japanese were cheerful and made the experience enjoyable.

夫婦で参加させていただきました。サンドバーまで港からすぐで海の真ん中に立ってられるのが不思議でした。午後のシュノーケルでもサンゴやたくさんの魚を観賞できて素晴らしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんやスタッフの方々も明るく楽しめました。

I was grateful that they changed my reservation even though I went a day early. The Waimea beef was very delicious.

間違えて予約日前日に行ったにもかかわらず
変更してくれて助かりました。
ワイメア牛はとても美味しいかったです。

We had a really good time. Our only complaint was that out of all the pictures there are none of showing us actually riding the wave in. As well we really only wanted a couple of the pictures but didn’t have that option, buy them all or none

This is managed by a couple who lived in Kansai, so communication in Japanese is fine. If you have Line, they can send you photos, which makes for great memories. I recommend allowing a little extra time. Refueling took a bit longer than expected. The weather was nice, and we enjoyed a fun scenic flight while piloting around the eastern route of Oahu. The departure and arrival will be at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.

関西で暮らしていた夫婦の経営ですので、やり取りは日本語でOKです。Lineがあると写真も送ってくれ、記念になります。時間は少し余裕を持っ行くことをお勧めします。燃料給油に少し時間が掛かりました。天気も良く、飛行機のオアフ島の東回りコースで、操縦しながらの楽しい遊覧飛行が出来ました。ダニエル.K．イノウエ国際空港の離発着になります。

I enjoyed being able to see various stages, including hula dance, entertainment, and fire dance. The meals were also satisfying.

フラダンスから
エンターテイメント
ファイアーダンスと
いろんなステージを見ることができて
楽しかったです。
食事も充実してました。

I'm glad I was able to visit the East Coast tourist spots all at once on a tour, which would be difficult for an individual without a rental car.

The guide provided a lot of information about shops in Haleiwa, recommended food trucks, and restroom locations, which was really helpful.

It was a long 8-hour tour, but we returned on time, and I was able to communicate with everyone on the tour and have a great time. Thank you!

レンタカーなしの個人では難しい東海岸の観光地をツアーで一気に行けて良かったです

ガイドさんが社内でもハレイワのショップ情報やおすすめのフードトラックやトイレの場所など沢山の情報を話してくれて凄くたすかりました

8時間の長いツアーだったけど時間通りに帰って来れたしツアーの皆さんともコミュニケーションがとれて楽しく過ごせました
ありがとうございました
