All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

I thought that a two-hour horseback riding experience wouldn't cover much distance or time, but to my surprise, it was a perfectly ample amount of both! It was an activity where I could enjoy the most breathtaking views while glancing at other tour groups. (I also experienced zip-lining on the same day.) I don't think there are many horseback riding experiences in Japan that allow for such a generous amount of time. I highly recommend giving it a try!

乗馬2時間、といってもさほどの距離や時間はないだろう、と思っていたら、なんとなんと！きっちりたっぷりの時間と距離で、他のツアーの人を横目に見ながら1番絶景を拝めるアクティビティだったのでは？思います（同日にジップラインも経験）
こんなにたっぷり時間を取れる乗馬体験は日本ではあまりないのではないかな、と。
是非チャレンジしてください。

I had a faint hope that there might be Japanese-speaking staff, but as indicated in the prior information, it was English only. However, the staff used gestures and the few words they knew to provide guidance (though it was just a small part), so I encourage you not to hesitate and to give it a try.

There probably isn't another place in Japan where you can enjoy seven zip lines of this length, scale, and breathtaking views. If you go to Oahu, definitely check it out! Of course, there are risks involved, but I wholeheartedly recommend it.

もしかしたら日本語対応スタッフがいるだろう、という淡い期待を持っていましたが、事前の案内通り英語オンリーでした。ただ、スタッフもジェスチャーや知ってる単語を使いながらレクチャーしてくださるので（と、言ってもごくごく一部）、是非、尻込みせずチャレンジいただきたいな、と思います。
おそらく日本でこれだけの長さ、規模、絶景の７本のジップラインを楽しめる場所はありません。
オアフ島に行ったら是非！もちろんリスクは伴いますが、心からオススメします。

This was my first time doing the Friday night fireworks on the ocean on the ke kai. This was sooo worth it. It's rare to see locals on the boats but this even the locals come out for. Lots of date night couples on this one. Pictures are available if you wish for a nominal charge. Music was playing. Plenty of seats. It's shoes off you board right at the beach very convenient. Fireworks were beautiful. Everyone is carded young and old bring your id for complimentary drinks.

This is a tour where you dive about 100 feet deep to observe fish and other marine life. You board a boat from the port of Waikiki and then switch to a submarine for the dive.

At first, there isn’t much to see and there are few fish, but as you get closer to a sunken airplane or ship, you encounter large schools of fish! After viewing one side, the submarine turns around to show the guests on the opposite side as well. Along the way, we also saw sharks and sea turtles swimming.

The guide's explanations are in English. I should have downloaded the Japanese guide in advance, but I forgot. However, the English explanations provide real-time descriptions of the situation, so I’m not sure if the Japanese explanations follow that. I think it’s better to try to listen to the English.

Before boarding the boat, they take photos which they develop and sell by the return trip. You can also download the data via QR code later, but that is also paid. I believe the experience of seeing the fish in person is more valuable than the photos, especially since you can see them without diving.

100ftほどの水深に潜り魚などを観察するツアー。ワイキキの港から船に乗り、海上で潜水艦に乗り換えて潜ります。

潜った当初は何もなく魚も少ないですが、沈んだ飛行機や沈没船の近くに来ると魚の大群が！片側が見た後は旋回して逆側のお客さんにも見せてもらえます。
途中、サメや海ガメが泳ぐ姿も見られました。

ガイドさんの説明は英語。事前に日本語のガイドをダウンロードすれば良かったのですが、忘れてました。ただ、英語の説明はリアルタイムの状況説明なので、日本語の説明がそれにならっているかは分かりません。頑張って英語を聞いた方が良いかと思います。

船に乗る前に撮影した写真を帰りまでに現像して売りに来ます。データはQRコードで後日でもダウンロードできますが、そちらも有料。
写真よりも実際に見る魚たちの方が貴重な体験だと思います。ダイビングせずとも見られるんですから。

Booking through Veltra was easy, and simple. No issues with transportation or arriving at your destination. Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable it was absolutely beautiful and a must. I would 1000 percent do it again, but a different tour option at the ranch since they had so many choices. Either way I absolutely recommend booking with Veltra I shopped around and glad I chose them. UTV is a must. Veltra was even great as I had to switch hotels and pick/drop off and they made it so easy to do. Thanks!

We had a great time with this tour! You got to see gorgeous views from the diamond head and visited Manoa falls that felt like you were in the jungle. It was beautiful! The both tour guides were super nice.

Our tour was perfect. Bartender and crew were all very friendly and kept our drinks full the entire trip. Great views of the fireworks and downtown. Would recommend!

I watched the fireworks launched every Friday at Hilton from the sea. The atmosphere on the boat was nice, and I enjoyed it. There was a moment when waves splashed onto the boat, causing seawater to get into our drinks, but I consider that part of the experience. The fireworks were beautiful, even from a distance. I think it would have been even more fun if we could have gotten a little closer.

The check-in location before boarding was hard to find.

ヒルトンで毎週金曜日に打ち上げられる花火を海上から観ました。
船上の雰囲気も良く楽しめました。
途中波が船上に押し寄せドリンクに海水が入るハプニングもありましたが、それも思い出かと。
花火は遠くからでしたが、きれいでした
できればもう少し近くまで行ってくれたらもっと楽しかったとも思います

乗船前の受付場所が分かりにくかったです

In the evening, I had a little time, so I spontaneously hopped on a bus to see the sunset. The sunset in Hawaii is very beautiful, and there was a bride taking photos on the beach, which I thought made for a lovely background. The bus stopped near the beach and stayed parked until the sun went down. It was great to be able to go right to the spot without wasting time, making it a meaningful experience.

夕方、少し時間があったので思いつきでサンセットを見るコースのバスに乗り込みました。ハワイのサンセットはとても綺麗で、浜辺て花嫁さんが写真も撮ってましたが素敵な背景だと思いました。浜辺近くでバスが止まり日が沈むまで停車。ピンポイントで観に行けて時間のロスもなく有意義に過ごせて最高でした。

I was deeply moved for the first time in a while by the powerful stage that utilized the space above the audience. The integration of the audience and stage in the production and stage design was impressive.

観客席の頭上も使った大迫力のステージで久々に心の底から感動しました
観客とステージが一帯となる演出や舞台構成が圧巻でした

I chose the LeaLea Trolley for the comparison of East Oahu lines. I also used it for the early morning Black Friday trip to Ala Moana and to the Honolulu Museum of Art. Compared to the bus, it’s easier to understand, but I feel the price is a bit high. I purchased a four-day pass, but since continuous use is a condition, there were some wasted days. There is a free service between Waikiki and Ala Moana, so I think it’s necessary to choose based on the places you want to go. For the Haleiwa area, there are only buses or optional tours, so it would be nice if you could go by trolley.

東オアフラインの内容比較で、LeaLeaトロリーを選びました。
ブラックフライデー早朝のアラモアナ行き、ホノルル美術館行きにも使いました。
バスに比べるとわかりやすいのですが、価格が少し高いと感じます。
４日券購入しましたが、連続使用が条件のため無駄な日が出ました。
ワイキキ～アラモアナ間は、無料サービスがあるので、行きたい場所で選択が必要かと思います。
ハレイワ方面は、バスかオプショナルツアーしかないので、トロリーで行けると良いのですが。

I booked the cheapest ticket, and I thought it couldn't be helped if the view wasn't great, but the venue was small, with a capacity of about 800 people, and I had a great view from above. It was so much fun that an hour and a half flew by. There was circus performance, sand art, and street performances—truly a show that never got boring. I'm really glad I decided to attend.

1番安いチケットを予約　見えにくくても仕方ない　と思っておましたが　会場は800人ほどの収容人数でこじんまりしていて　上から見下ろす感じでとてもよく見えました
楽しすぎて　１時間半があっという間で　サーカスありサンドアートあり　大道芸ありの本当に飽きさせない公演でした　思い切って観覧してよかったです

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time here. The weather was clear, and the ocean was beautiful, so I really enjoyed snorkeling. On the boat, there was also lovely live music, and I was able to spend a very relaxing time. The only downside was that the behavior of the local Japanese staff was harsh, which spoiled my trip. If I go again, I would like to try a different tour.

ハワイは何度か行っていますが，ここには初めて行ってみました。
晴れていたこともあり，とても海が綺麗で，シュノーケリングは堪能しました。
船上では，素敵な生演奏もあり，とてもゆったりした時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
一つだけ残念なのは，現地の日本人スタッフの言動がきつく，せっかくの旅行が台無しでした。
今度行くとしても別のツアーにしてみたいと思います。

Very friendly captain who found whales and a shark for us

The famous Cirque du Soleil was impressive with a story tracing the history of Hawaii. You can also bring in alcohol, which made it even more enjoyable. It lasts for an hour and a half, but it felt like no time at all. I sat in the front row, but you can enjoy it just as much from the back seats.

有名なシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユをハワイの歴史を辿るストーリーで迫力でした。
アルコールなども持ち込み可能で堪能しました。
時間にして一時間半ですが，あっという間でした。
最前席に座りましたが，後席でも十分堪能できます。

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this is my first visit here. This place is famous as a filming location for Jurassic Park, LOST, and King Kong, and offers events where you can tour the filming sites by ATV, horseback riding, or bus. This time, I tried the ATV. It takes about an hour by bus from Waikiki, and the tour lasted around two hours, which was a lot of fun.

何回かハワイには行っていますが，ここを訪れるのは初めてです。
ここは，ジュラシックパークやLOST，そしてキングコングの撮影場所としても有名なところで，四輪バギーや乗馬，そしてバスなどで撮影場所を巡るイベントです。
今回は四輪バギーを利用してみました。
ワイキキからはバスで小一時間，ツアーは二時間ぐらいでとても楽しかったです。

The official website of the USS Missouri Memorial (https://ussmissouri.org/) also sells tickets, but I couldn't purchase them with my Japanese credit card, so I bought them through VELTRA. There are so many highlights that it might be difficult to see everything in one day. I considered other sightseeing tours departing from Honolulu, but I decided to split my visit into two days to take my time.

I purchased tickets for the Captain's Tour and the Chief Engineer's Tour (in Japanese) on the day of my visit, and they showed us places that are normally off-limits, making it a very interesting tour.

After visiting the USS Missouri, watching the movies "Battleship" and "Midway" provided a different perspective.

戦艦ミズーリ記念館の公式サイト(https://ussmissouri.org/）でも販売されていますが、日本のクレジットカードでは購入できなかったため、VELTRAで購入しました。見所がたくさんあるため、1日で回りきるのは難しいかもしれません。他のホノルル発着の観光ツアーも検討しましたが、ゆっくり観られるように2日間に分けて訪れました。

戦艦ミズーリのキャプテンツアーとチーフエンジニアツアー（日本語）は当日受付で購入し参加しましたが、通常では入れない場所を見せてくれるので、大変興味深いツアーでした。

戦艦ミズーリを見学した後に、映画『バトルシップ』と『沈黙の戦艦』を観るとまた違った視点で観ることができました。

First of all, the Beachcomber Hotel is right in the heart of Waikiki, so the access is excellent! The venue doesn't have too many seats, so it seems like the stage is easy to see from any seat. It was quite popular, and the place was almost full on the day of the show. The program featured meticulous production details, and I really enjoyed watching it. Although it is a circus, the content takes into account Hawaiian culture and historical background, making it enjoyable for everyone from adults to children. I think it's a great option for those who aren't interested in a luau show or have already experienced one. The duration is about an hour and a half, making it easy to fit into your schedule. I highly recommend it!

まずワイキキど真ん中のビーチコマーホテル内なのでアクセスが抜群です！
会場は客席が多くないのでどの席からもステージは見やすそうです。人気があるようで、当日はほぼ満席でした。
プログラムは細かいところまでこだわった演出で、本当に楽しんで見ることができました。サーカスではあるのですが、ハワイのカルチャーや歴史的な背景などもかなり考慮されている内容で、大人から子供までみんなが楽しめる内容になっていると思います。ルアウショーには気が向かない方やそれはもう経験済みの方に、新しいショーの選択肢としてはとても良いと思います。時間も一時間半ほどなので予定にも組みやすいです。お勧めします！

It may look easy, but it requires quite a bit of physical experience, so as someone in my 50s, I didn't have much opportunity to enjoy the sea. However, my 17-year-old daughter was able to easily find fish and change direction freely towards the end. For those in their 50s, considering the need to brace themselves the whole time, one hour might be enough. If you take a two-hour lesson, I think you'll have plenty of time to take selfies on the water.

簡単そうに見えてまあまあ体感が必要なので50代の私はあまり海を楽しむ余裕はありませんでしたが、17歳の娘は最後の方は余裕で海の魚を見つけたり方向転換も自由にしていました。
50代のひとは終始足を踏ん張ることを考えたら1時間で十分かもしれません。写真は海上で自撮りするのは2時間のレッスンをするなら余裕で撮れると思います。

It depends on your athletic ability, but if you have experience with skateboarding or snowboarding, you can pick it up fairly easily. However, for those who haven't done either, one hour might be too short. Also, in a private lesson, there won't be anyone to take photos for you, so I recommend planning to take selfies in advance or asking the instructor to help with that.

運動神経の良しあしにもよりますが、スケートボードとスノーボードをしているなら割とすんなり乗れますがしてない人は1時間では短いかもしれません。また。プライベートレッスンですと写真を撮ってくれる人がいないので事前に自撮りするか先生に頼むかの算段も付けて参加することをおすすめします。

I heard that the ocean is more beautiful than Waikiki Beach, so I decided to join. It was tough to wake up early and participate, but Hanauma Bay was more stunning than I imagined. I also think there are more fish to see compared to Waikiki Beach. I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but I enjoyed the wide area where I could stand in shallow water.

ワイキキビーチよりも海が綺麗との話を聞き参加しました。早朝に起床し参加するのは大変でしたが、ハナウマ湾は想像以上に絶景でした。また、見ることのできる魚の数もワイキキビーチより多いと思います。私は泳ぎに自信がありませんでしたが、足のつく浅いところの範囲も広く楽しめました。

Great menu, great pacing, the kids were laughing the whole time and off their cell phones which is a win!!

We love this tour so much. This was our favorite day on Oahu. I loved the clear water and all the different things to do for the day!

We had a greast day, we got to see a ton of sea life including a few turtles!

An easy way to get to + from, taking the brain work out which we loved while being on vacation!

During my first trip to Hawaii, I looked for activities and participated in a Cessna flying experience. You can make reservations via LINE from Japan, and the staff were very prompt and courteous in their responses. The flight included transportation from our hotel to the airport.

The staff were very kind and sensed the anxiety and tension that everyone feels about flying a Cessna. They first explained the principles of lift, operation methods, and instruments in a very helpful manner. During our session, two children took turns piloting, and we chose a plan that circled around Oahu, allowing us to get an overview of the entire island, including Honolulu.

We were able to see famous landmarks like Diamond Head, dolphins, whales, the high waves, people skydiving, former President Obama's childhood home, a wind farm, and aircraft carriers from above. I believe this is a unique experience that you can't find in other tours.

With the support of the pilot, we got to enjoy actual control of the aircraft during takeoff and turns. The pilot also assisted to minimize any turbulence. Since they provided support in Japanese, it felt reassuring, as if we were flying with a Japanese pilot in Japan.

During the flight, we could take photos and videos, and with a flight time of about two hours, we gathered plenty of data. The children were very satisfied, and it became a valuable experience for us.

The price may be higher than other activities, but the wonderful experience far exceeds that cost. The staff and pilots were very kind, and we felt their hospitality. Since it only takes about half a day, I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to fully enjoy their trip to Hawaii.

We participated with our children aged 9, 11, and 13 at their request. Even my 9-year-old daughter, who is 120 cm tall, was able to ride alone. We received instructions on how to handle the reins and how to ride. Our guide, Kaz, accompanied us to the riding location and helped with everything from check-in to translation, which was a great help. He taught us how to ride during the transfer, and even though it was everyone's first time riding, we had a lot of fun. I can't speak any English, but having Kaz made me feel very secure. The staff at the riding location were not very impressive; they seemed to be new and a bit inexperienced. It felt like the tip was paid not for the staff, but for the smart horses. Since the tour was focused on horseback riding, we didn't plan for any exploration and just enjoyed a relaxed time.

子供からのリクエストで、9歳、11歳、13歳の子供と親子で参加しました。9歳120センチ女児でも１人で乗馬させてもらえます。手綱捌きから乗り方までレクチャーしてもらえます。送迎ガイドのカズさんが乗馬先に一緒に来てくれて、受付から通訳までしてくれたので大変助かりました。乗り方も送迎中に教えてくれて、全員初めての乗馬でしたがとても楽しめました。英語が全く話せないですが、カズさんがいてくれれば凄く安心です。乗馬先のスタッフはイマイチで、新人さんらしき人だったのか要領が悪い感じでした。チップはスタッフではなく、賢いお馬さんの為に払った感じです。乗馬目的のツアーだったので散策のプランを考えてなく、まったりと過ごしました。

I watched the performance with my three grandchildren and my wife, and it was a continuous series of moving moments from start to finish. The story woven with Hawaiian ethnicity and culture, the performances that unfolded one after another, the laughter and thrills, and the production that brought the audience together were all of the highest world-class quality. I hope many people get to see it. Time flew by in an instant.

孫と妻3人で観覧しましたが、最初から最後まで飽くことなく感動の連続でした。
ハワイの民族・文化を織り込んでのストーリーに、次々と繰り出されるパフォーマンス、笑いとスリル、観客と一帯となった演出はどれも世界最高峰モノです。
多くの方に観覧して欲しいと思いました。時間がアッという間に過ぎてしまいました。

The crew was great, very friendly and helpful. Such beautiful views. The current was strong during our snorkel time which was tough, I’d definitely like to do it again when it’s calmer (obviously nothing we can control). We saw and got close to a turtle, dolphins, fishes. My daughter saw fishes that looked like Dory and Nemo!

I had always wanted to see a magic show, so I participated for the first time with my family. We were able to experience table magic happening right in front of our eyes, as well as ring magic selected as one of the 100 magic shows to see before you die. It was an amazing experience that still excites me. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and even those who are not good at English could enjoy the show 120%.

以前よりマジックショーを観てみたかったので初めて家族で参加させて頂きました。
目と鼻の先で行われるテーブルマジックや死ぬまでに観るべき世界のマジック100に選出されたリングマジックを観ることができアメージングな体験に今でも興奮がさめません。スタッフの方々もみなさんアットホームで優しく、英語が得意でない方も120%楽しめるショーでした。
