All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

It was an English-only tour, but I participated without knowing any English at all. The guide explained everything in easy-to-understand English and made it incredibly enjoyable! If you're debating between this and a buggy, I definitely recommend this one! The bicycles are electric and have a mode for uphill, so it's super easy!

英語のみのツアーになりますが、英語が全く分からない状態で参加しました。
ガイドの方が分かりやすい英語で説明してくれ、めちゃくちゃ楽しませてくれました！
バギーと迷っているなら断然こちらをオススメします！
自転車も電動で、坂道用のモードもあるので、ラクラクです♪

We enjoyed the performance combining traditional hula, music and dance with contemporary lighting and video. The food is great. Staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. Beautiful setting. A few tweaks to the overall experience will likely be coming as they work through these opening weeks. Waiting in lines at the "food trucks" takes some time, and the hot food was getting cold by the time we got to our tables. Perhaps the sweet bread and cold food could be plated ahead of time and more personnel added to the hot food stations. The "welcome drinks" could also be poured as guests were arriving and served on trays to speed up entry. Perhaps different colored wristbands (or stickers) on arrival could designate drink eligibility rather than adding another wristband. We got there early, but did not have time to visit any of the activities--would have liked to visit the drumming, etc.

Everything was smooth sailing from our pick up at the Hyatt to being delivered back to the Hyatt after. Boarding was quick and easy. We had a member with mobility issues and even though the boat was rocking a little bit while going through the buffet she made it safely back to her seat with all her food still on the plate. Our waiter was Ryan and he was great. Very efficient and he loves to dance. He led us on a music train around the room, then got up and danced on the stage.
Food was decent, what I will say is it is typical buffet food. Nothing stood out as a WOW. The entertainment was good and lively. Also typical Polynesian dances if you've been to a Luau. Fireworks at the end of the night were spectacular and watching them from the water was a highlight.

Our boat captain was terrific, we were able to see two species of whales, many dolphins 3 turtles from the boat and two more snorkeling. Not sure how it could have been any better. Best thing we did in Hawaii

On est vraiment plongé dans l’apprentissage sur l’histoire des îles polynésiennes.

Le souper était à nouveau excellent et le spectacle HA le souffle de la vie est majestueux

The buggy experience is wonderful. You can enjoy it even if you don't know the movie. A person who speaks Japanese will explain things before check-in after you arrive. However, once the buggy experience starts, it will be in English only. But you can generally understand it. The buggy doesn't go for a full two hours without stopping; it stops at power spots along the way. Also, the bus driver for the shuttle was very lively and provided guidance throughout the drive.

バギー体験は素晴らしいです。映画を知らなくても楽しめます。日本語を喋れる人は到着後チェックイン前に説明をしてくれます。しかし、バギー体験が始まると英語のみになります。でも、大体わかります。バギーも2時間ぶっ通しではなく、パワースポットごとに停止します。
あと、送迎のバスの運転手がノリが良くて終始運転しながらガイドしてました。

We will take a boat to the sea at Waikiki, and during that time, we can see Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki. There aren't many fish in the waters of Waikiki, but there are a lot of fish around the sunken ship, which is very interesting. When you take photos, they come out a bit blue and are somewhat hard to see, but if you actually see it, you can tell that the sea is beautiful. The interior of the ship is a bit cold. However, it was truly a wonderful experience, and I don't think I'll have such an experience again.

船でワイキキの海に行きますが、その間にダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを見ることができます。ワイキキの海の中はあまり魚はいないですが、沈没船の周りには多くの魚がおり、非常に面白いです。写真を撮ると青みがかかり、少し見にくいですが、実際に見れば美しい海だと言うことがわかります。艦内は少し寒いです。ただ、本当に素晴らしい体験でしたし、こんな経験は2度とできないでしょう。

It had been a while since my last trip to Hawaii. I always made sure to schedule a dinner show on the last day, but this time it coincided with the fireworks on Friday, so I decided to change the date. Since it was only the second day and I had an early morning tomorrow, I planned to keep it light and not order any alcohol. However, I ended up chatting with a Japanese couple at my table and joined in on their drinks.

I believe one of the joys of traveling is being able to hear stories and recommendations directly from those who have experienced various things. Anyway, the show was very entertaining. If it had been purely a Polynesian-style show, I might have dozed off due to jet lag and the early wake-up, as the music was quite soothing. However, the cast provided an entertaining performance that felt like a mini concert.

I particularly enjoyed the Michael Jackson segment, as I belong to that generation but had never been to one of his concerts, so I purely enjoyed the dance and singing. The couple I sat with seemed to be from the Elvis Presley generation, and they enjoyed it just as much.

The VIP package included drinks during the show, which was a nice touch. The food was also quite suitable for Japanese tastes, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Although the buffet offered additional servings, it was so plentiful that I could hardly finish anything other than dessert.

I received a lei at the hotel and got another one here to take home. The scent of the flowers lingered in my room, and since it was only the second day, I kept it on display until my return.

久しぶりのハワイでした。ディナーショーは必ず最後の日に入れていましたが、今回は金曜日の花火と重なるので日にちをずらしました。まだ2日目で明日も早い為、お酒など注文せずに軽く過ごす予定でしたが同席の日本人ご夫婦とお話が弾み御相伴に預かる事になりました。

旅の醍醐味は色々経験された方からのお話やおススメスポットを直に聞ける事も含まれているのでは無いかと思います。
話はそれましたがショーはとても面白かったです。純粋にポリネシアンスタイルのショーだと、時差ぼけと早起きが続いて、音楽が穏やか過ぎて寝てしまいそうですがエンターテイメントなキャスト達が繰り広げるプチコンサートの様な形相もありました。
特にマイケルジャクソンは世代ですがコンサートに行った事無い為、純粋にダンスや歌を楽しみました。同席させて頂いたご夫婦はエルビスプレスリー世代だった様で、こちらも同じ様に楽しまれていました。
VIPのコースの予約にはショーの間のドリンクも用意されていたのでこちらも楽しみました。お食事は日本人にもあう内容だったので美味しく頂きました。ブュッフェは追加で頂く事も出来ましたが
種類豊富でデザート以外はおかわり出来ない位充実してましたよ。
ホテルで頂いたレイと、こちらでもレイを頂いて帰りましたがお花の香りがお部屋に漂ってまだ2日目の為帰国まで飾ってました

We went during our family trip to Hawaii. The theater was compact, but the content was very enjoyable. As expected from Cirque du Soleil!

家族でハワイ旅行中に行きました
劇場はコンパクトでしたが、とても楽しめる内容でした
さすがシルクドソレイユです

I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but since we wore life jackets, there were no problems, and the guides were always watching over us. The guides also spoke a little Japanese. We brought waterproof cases for our smartphones and filmed scenes of us swimming with the fish. We left our belongings on the chairs inside the boat. There was always someone watching over us inside the boat, and I heard there are security cameras as well.

I was able to see sea turtles from the boat twice! It felt strange to be away from land yet in shallow water. It was truly amazing.

I'm grateful to the guides as well. At the end, I gave a tip to the person who was always singing for us. Thank you very much! 😊

泳ぎに自信が無かったですが、ライフガードを着用するので問題ないですし、常にガイドさんが見張ってくれます。そのガイドさんたちも日本語を少し喋ってくれます。私たちはスマホ用防水ケースを持っていき、魚と泳ぐシーンを動画で撮影しました。荷物は、船内の椅子に置いてました。船内は常に誰かが見張ってくれますし、防犯カメラもあるそうです。
ウミガメは船内から2度見ることができました！陸から離れているのに浅瀬という不思議な感覚になりました。ほんとに最高でした。
ガイドさんにも感謝です。最後は常に歌ってくれていた方にチップをお渡ししました。
ありがとうございました😊

I was lucky enough to see whales, dolphins, and turtles all in one trip. We saw five whales, 15 dolphins, one turtle in the sea, and three on land. I'm not very good at snorkeling, so I watched the dolphins from above the water, and my snorkeling experience was only about 15 minutes, but I was very satisfied. However, the boat was really rocky, and since I tend to get seasick, I took motion sickness medication the night before and in the morning, which helped me manage. Unfortunately, another group of Japanese tourists was vomiting the whole time. Also, the boat ride and the bus back were cold after snorkeling, so it's essential to have something to wear.

運が良かったのが、クジラ・イルカ・カメを全部見ることができました。
クジラは５頭、イルカは15頭、カメは海で１匹、陸で３匹でした。
シュノーケルはあまり得意はないので、イルカは海の上から見て、シュノーケルも15分程度の体験でしたが、非常に満足しました。
ただ、船の揺れはすごく、自分はかなり船酔いするタイプなので、前日の夜と当日の朝に酔い止めを飲んでなんとか平気でしたが、もう一組の日本人はずっと吐いてました。
また、シュノーケル後の船と帰りのバスは寒いので、羽織るものは必須です。

Very fun and staff were awesome and very helpful !

The fish population was denser than at Hanauma Bay, and I even encountered a sea turtle while paddleboarding. The songs on the boat were wonderful!

For lunch, it was just a piece of ham and a piece of cheese sandwiched between two slices of bread, which left me thinking, "Really... is this lunch?" If they had made it a bit more luxurious, it would have balanced out the overall experience, but this part felt too cost-cutting and might lower the impression of the whole trip.

ハナウマベイよりは魚影が濃く、サップ中にウミガメにも会えました。
船上の歌も素敵でした！

ランチはパンにハム1枚とチーズ1枚挟んだだけの物で、「えぇ、、これがランチ？」と言う印象。もう少しだけ豪華にすれば総合的にバランスが取れるのに、ここだけコスト抑え過ぎてて全体の印象が落ちてしまいそうです。

Show was great! Chief and his family put so much positive energy into the whole event! Food was very good!

Enjoy the quick boat ride the helpful staffs and the sandbar

It was my first time in Hawaii, so I wanted to get an overall understanding and decided to participate. It was a great decision. In particular, Jonah's guidance was wonderful. He was friendly, kind, and his stories were interesting. I realized that the biggest benefit of joining the tour was being able to hear various stories from the guide. It was a fulfilling day.

初めてのハワイだったので、全体を知りたいと思い、参加。大正解でした。特に、ジョナさんの案内が素晴らしかったです。フレンドリーで、親切で、ガイドも面白かったです。ツアーに入るのは、ガイドさんの色々な話が聞けるのが最も大きいと実感しました。充実した1日でした。

ホノルルの夜に、最高の時間でした。プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンなど似ているかどうかは、別として、楽しい夜を過ごすことができます。

The underwater scenery with sunken ships and airplane wrecks was amazing. We saw a lot of fish as well. However, my wife seemed to be struggling with seasickness.

沈没船や飛行機の残骸など、海の中は凄かった。たくさんの魚もみられた。　
ただ、妻は船酔いで辛そうでした。

In February, my family of five had an experience. It was cloudy and we encountered a downpour along the way, but that was actually nice. The rain added to the atmosphere and made it a wonderful experience. It became an unforgettable memory. In February, it can be cold if you go in short sleeves, so I think it's better to prepare a light jacket. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes. There are lockers where you can use a credit card, so you can store your things there. I was quite hesitant because it was expensive, but it became the best memory of this trip to Hawaii.

２月に家族5人で体験しました。曇っていて途中スコールになりましたが、それはそれで良かったです。スコールも雰囲気がでて素敵な体験でした。忘れられない思い出になりました。２月は半袖で行くと寒い事もあるので薄い上着を用意した方が良いと思います。着替えも忘れずに持って行って下さい。クレジットカードが使えるロッカーがあるのでそこに入れておけます。
結構高額で悩みましたが今回のハワイ旅行の1番の思い出になりました。

This was the most enjoyable experience of my trip to Hawaii!

I actually got to drive a buggy and go off-roading, and it was a moment where I thought, "I'm so glad I have my license." The off-road course was quite authentic and something you can't easily experience in Japan, and the scenery was amazing. I was thrilled the entire time as we drove past movie filming locations and more.

The instructor's explanations were mostly in English, but he had a very Hawaiian vibe and a sense of humor, making the lecture enjoyable, so I had no worries at all.

Since we had an early departure at 6 AM and I was picked up from the hotel, I had eaten breakfast beforehand. However, the shuttle bus made a stop in front of another hotel and suddenly announced, "Feel free to go grab breakfast!" It was a relaxed, Hawaiian-style break that I found amusing. I did feel a bit anxious about being left behind even though they took attendance, so I chose to stay on the bus and wait.

We had a two-hour course this time, but it flew by, and I thought, "Maybe I should have gone for the three-hour option," because it was so much fun.

In any case, I believe this is an experience you can only have in Hawaii, so I highly recommend this activity to anyone who is considering it!

ハワイ旅行の中で一番楽しかった体験でした！

実際に自分でバギーを運転してオフロードを走るのですが、「免許を取っていてよかった」と思える瞬間でした。日本ではなかなか体験できないような本格的なオフロードコースで、景色も最高。映画のロケ地なども見ながら走れるので、終始テンションが上がりました。

インストラクターの説明はほとんど英語でしたが、とてもハワイアンな雰囲気でユーモアもあり、楽しくレクチャーしてくれるので全く不安はありませんでした。

朝6時にホテルへ迎えに来てもらう早朝出発だったので事前に朝食を食べておいたのですが、送迎バスが途中で別のホテル前に停まり「ブレックファースト行ってきていいよー」と急に休憩タイムが入ったのも、なんだかハワイらしいゆるい感じで面白かったです。
ただ、点呼はしていたものの置いて行かれたら怖いなと思い、私はバスから降りずに待っていました。

今回は2時間コースでしたが、あっという間で「3時間にしておけばよかったかも」と少し思うくらい楽しかったです。

とにかく、ハワイでしかできない体験だと思うので、迷っている人にはぜひおすすめしたいアクティビティです！

I thought about going to Haleiwa by using public buses or Uber on my own, but it was the right decision to join a tour instead, as it relieved the pressure of arranging things and worrying about time for my family of four.

自力で路線バスや、Uberを使って、ハレイワに行こうと思いましたが、家族４人、手配や時間の心配なプレッシャーもなくツアー参加にした事は、正解でした。

Riding horses in the breathtaking nature was truly enjoyable. If you want to fully appreciate the great outdoors, I believe horseback riding is better than taking a buggy. It's completely fine even for beginners. Basically, all the horses are calm and well-behaved. Occasionally, there were some that didn't have a muzzle and would nibble on the grass along the way...

However, the saddles on all the horses tended to shift. The initial setup wasn't very good, which put a lot of strain on my knees, and after getting off the horse, it was tough to walk for a while. But since I love horses, I was able to ride a lot and had a great time.

At Kualoa Ranch, there are staff members at the main reception and guides who can speak Japanese, which is very kind and reassuring.

圧巻の大自然のなかでの乗馬は本当に楽しかったです。大自然をゆっくり堪能するなら、バギーより乗馬だと思います。初めてでも全然問題ないです。基本的に馬はみんな大人しくてお利口さんばかり。たまに口輪をしていない子は、道草を食ってしまっていましたが…。
ただ、どの馬の鞍もずれてきてしまうんですよね…もともとのセッティングがあまり上手くなくて、膝にすごく負担がかかり下馬後、しばらく歩くのが辛かったですが、馬が好きなのでたっぷり乗れて楽しめました。
クアロアランチはメイン受付や案内のスタッフにも日本語が話せる方がいて、すごく親切で安心です。

Very friendly team. Highly recommend. Thank you very much

Thought everything what amazing. Stopped at all the areas for pictures and Ivan our guide was tremendous. Could not have had a better experience!!!

I stayed at Twin Fin, and it was really great that the hotel provided transportation from Waikiki to Haleiwa, as it's quite far to go on your own!

First, we did a little sightseeing in the city, and then they took us to the Dole Plantation. The driver acted as a guide throughout the journey, which really deepened my knowledge, and he was humorous, making it a lot of fun.

In Haleiwa, we had free time to try the famous garlic shrimp, but personally, I was really happy to be able to drink a latte made with coffee beans that can only be found on the North Shore!

ツインフィンに宿泊していたのですが、ワイキキからハレイワまで個人で行くととても遠いのを、ホテルから連れて行ってくれるので、とてもありがたいツアーでした！
まず、市内観光を少しして、Doleプランテーションに連れて行ってくれるのですが、始終運転手の方が移動中ガイドをしてくれるので、知識もとても深まりましたし、ユーモアのあるガイドで楽しかったです。
ハレイワではかの有名なガーリックシュリンプもフリータイムで食べに行くことも出来るのですが、個人的にはノースショアでしか獲ることのできないコーヒー豆を使ったラテを飲めたのがとても嬉しかったです♪

I was looking forward to the Polynesian dance, but aside from the last performer who used fire, the atmosphere was greatly diminished by the presence of mostly Western and Chinese-Japanese performers. After all, Polynesian dance should be performed by those who embody the Polynesian spirit... Other than that, I was satisfied.

ポリネシアのダンスを楽しみにしていたのに、最後の火を使った演技者以外は欧米系、中華日系で雰囲気が大きく損なわれた。
やはりポリネシアダンスはポリネシアンの雰囲気を持った方が踊らないと…
それ以外は満足です

The instructors were all kind and many of them were interesting. The sea, mountains, and islands looked beautiful from above, and I was truly moved.

インストラクターさんもみんな優しく、面白い方が多い印象でした。上空から見る海、山、島どれも綺麗で感動しかなかったです。

What a rush !!! Excellent excursion!!
Closest thing to being in a surfboard.
Guide excelled at giving understandable directions.

It was interesting. The audience joined in for a fun entertainment experience. It was great to watch from a good seat. I was able to enjoy it without getting bored.

おもしろかったです。
観客も一緒になって楽しいエンタテーメントでした。良い席で観られて最高でした。飽きずに観れました。

Joshua was great at setting up everything and communicating. The charcuterie plate was good too. We had a lot of fun during the photoshoot. I only wish we had access to all the photos taken (we only received a selection of them).
