All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

The lecture was in English, so I couldn't understand what was being said. I wish there had been a translation guide. It was disappointing that the dolphin show wasn't held. It felt like an outdoor aquarium. The luau show was very good. I enjoyed the various regional variations. The food was average.

レクチャーは英語なので何を言ってるのかわかりませんでした。翻訳のガイドがあれば良かったと思いました。イルカのショーが開催されてなかったのが残念でした。屋外水族館という感じです。
ルアウショーはとても良かったです。地域によって色々なバリエーションが楽しめました。料理は普通です。

It was amazing!
The clarity of the water, the variety and size of the fish were truly impressive!
I even got to meet a honu and swim with it!

My English is at a basic education level, and that's fine.
The guide speaks slowly to make it easy to understand.
While driving, they introduce recommended shops.
We stopped at a parking area for a location explanation, then had time for a briefing on how to use the snorkel, swimming precautions, and ordering additional rental items.
We rented a boogie board, but other parties rented life jackets.

最高でした
透明度、魚の種類、大きさ本当に見応えがあります！
ホヌとも出会えて一緒に泳ぐことができました！！

英語は義務教育レベルで問題ないです。
ガイドさんがわかりやすいようにゆっくり話してくれます。
運転中はおすすめのお店の紹介。
一旦パーキングに止めてロケーションの説明の後シュノーケルの使い方遊泳時の注意、追加のレンタル品のオーダーの時間がありました。
うちはブギーボードレンタルしましたが、他のパーティはライフジャケットをみんなレンタルしてました。

A Japanese person named Momo guided us through the battleship Missouri. She was very kind and attentive. I was able to deeply feel the history, and it was a great experience.

戦艦ミズーリの中を、日本人のモモさんという方が案内してくれました。とても親切で丁寧でした。
歴史をじっくり感じられ、良い体験をしました。

My husband and I did the side by side tour and it was nothing short of amazing! The views were breathtaking and the tour guide was so knowledgeable about the land and gave fun facts about Hawaii and surrounding areas. At each stop the tour guides made sure everyone got their pictures and were willing to lend a hand in getting the best pictures of your group. Next time we will have to bring our kids and plan to do more activities at the ranch. We could have spend a whole day, or two doing it all. The property was clean and well managed and the air conditioned bathrooms were a plus! We would 10/10 recommend this activity!

The show itself was impressive and satisfying, but I was concerned about the cold indoors. It's better to bring a light long-sleeve shirt, even if you tend to get warm.

ショー自体は迫力満点で満足だったが、室内の寒さが気になった。
熱がりでも薄手の長そでを持って行った方が良い。

It was an irresistible experience for airplane enthusiasts. They taught us how to operate the aircraft very thoroughly, and during the flight, they also guided us to various sightseeing spots, allowing us to enjoy the scenery.

Above all, I was thrilled to be able to listen to the communication with the control tower. The price is not cheap, but I felt it was worth the experience. I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

飛行機好きにはたまらない体験でした。
操縦の仕方もとても丁寧に教えてくださり、また操縦中も、観光地など案内してくださったりと景色も楽しむことができました。

なにより管制塔とのやりとりを聞くことができてテンションがあがりました。
お値段は安くはないですが、それでも体験してよかったと思えるものでした。また機会があったらぜひ参加したいと思います。

Do yourself a favor— book it. I had such a phenomenal experience & really am looking forward to come back! The staff go above & beyond to make sure you’re safe, enjoying your time, and that you feel welcomed. It was one of the highlights of my trip— you won’t regret it :)

We went to Hawaii and we loved it there. Now sandbar Hawaii at another level. Everything is including paddle boards, snorkeling, canoeing and you get live music and food. This was the cherry on top of our trip don’t plan on going without making this trip.

This was a great experience for my family. The rain did not stop us from enjoying the sites and learning about Hawaiin culture. Our tour guide was awesome and knowledgeable!

Watching fireworks from the sea. I was worried about the weather due to the heavy rain the day before, but I'm glad it went ahead. From my seat, I couldn't take good photos because people's heads and sails were in the way. They changed the direction of the boat towards the end, but I wish they had done it a bit earlier so that everyone could see equally well. I think that's enough... It's better to watch fireworks from the beach.

海上からの花火鑑賞。
前日の大雨で天候が心配だったけど、決行出来て良かったです。
座ってる席からは人の頭や帆が邪魔をして上手く写真を撮れなかった。
船の向きをほぼ終わり頃に変えてくれたけど、もう少し早く、どの席の人も平等に見えるように変えてほしかったです。
これはもういいかな…
花火は浜辺から見た方がいいです。

Originally, it was scheduled for January 30, but I received a call from Veltra the day before, asking me to change the date due to a warning being issued for the next day. So, I participated on February 1.
When I come to Hawaii, Hanauma Bay is an absolute must-visit and one of my favorite places. Although it was an early morning, I was able to enjoy it while there were fewer people. I encountered many fish and was very satisfied. The weather was great, and the view of Hanauma Bay from near the entrance was amazing!
Of course, I want to go again.

当初は1/30の予定でしたが、前日にベルトラさんから電話を頂き、明日は警報が出ているので日程を変更してくださいとのこと。そして2/1に参加させて頂きました。
ハワイに来たらハナウマ湾は絶対外せない大好きな場所。朝が早いけど人が少ないうちから楽しめました。たくさんの魚にも逢えて大満足でした。天候も良く、入場口付近から見たハナウマ湾は最高です！
勿論、また行きたいです。

Aside from having a very hard time finding the place at the Four Seasons where the program was to take place, we had a wonderful time, learned fascinating information about the night sky and got to be guided through the sky with a powerful telescope. At the end of the session, our astronomer sent us photos of the planets and star clusters that we were able to see.

I loved this snorkeling adventure! The live music was really entertaining, and the lunch was yummy. I really liked that the staff who did the outfitting for your snorkel gear was attentive and caring and wanted to make sure you had a good experience! I liked that there was a small tow rope strung between the main vessel and the floating "lounge" area to help guide you through the water. The variety of activities was good too, with the banana rafts and the stand-up paddleboards. There was an activity here for every level of adventurer. I kind of wished the boat was a bit smaller and more intimate but I got used to the size quickly and really ended up enjoying the experience!

I participated with my mother, and it was so much fun.

Our tour guide, Jonah, was very kind, funny, and helpful. During the drive, he shared a lot of local stories and recommended some great restaurants.

The Diamond Head hike was more physically demanding than I imagined, so it's better to wear workout clothes (I wanted to dress up for all the photo spots afterward, but it was definitely the right choice to go in something comfortable for exercising).

The weather was great on the day we participated, and since we were the only ones booked, the guide took a lot of photos for us. At Sunset Beach, I was really happy to see a sea turtle.

It was a tour that my mother was very satisfied with. I definitely want to recommend it to my friends.

母と２名で参加したのですが、とにかく楽しかったです。

ツアーガイドのジョナさんがとても優しくて面白くて親切でした。
車で移動する途中にたくさんローカルな話をしてくださったり、おすすめのご飯屋さんや人気なご飯屋さんを教えてくださりました。

ダイヤモンドヘッドハイキングは想像より体力を消耗するので、運動着で行ったほうがいいです(その後いろいろな映えスポットで写真を撮るのでおしゃれしたい気持ちもありましたが、運動できる格好で行って正解でした)

参加した日は天気が良く、たまたま私たちしか予約がなかったため、ガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくださいました。
サンセットビーチでは、ウミガメを見ることができてとても嬉しかったです。

母も大満足のツアーでした。周りの友人にも是非お勧めしたいと思います。

Jay was an excellent host and guide. He shared so many interesting things about the aircraft, Hawaii, and the area we were flying over. Jay also has a keen eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, I got to see turtles, and monk seals! I’m really glad I signed up for this experience.

The stage was close, and I could feel the breath and tension of the performers right in front of me. As expected from Cirque du Soleil, they skillfully blended Hawaii's nature with acrobatics. There was a sense of unity that brought people from all over the world together. The tall man in front of me noticed my height (156 cm) and kindly switched seats with the woman next to him. I was grateful for his gentlemanly behavior.

ステージが近く、目の前で行っている演者の息づかいや緊張感が伝わってきます。さすがシルクドソレイユ、ハワイの自然とアクロバットの融合を上手く演出していました。
世界中の人々とひとつになる一体感がありました。前の席の方が背の高い男性で、後ろの私(156cm)に気付き隣りの女性とチェンジしてくるました。紳士的行動にありがたかったです。

It exceeded the excitement I had before making the reservation, delivering an intensity and exhilaration that I couldn't have imagined. Since I didn't understand the English explanations very well, I enjoyed the location. The off-road paths were fun, and rushing through the last puddle was thrilling.

予約する前の楽しみを遥かに超えてきて、想像がつかなかったくらいの迫力と爽快感、アクティブさを感じました。英語の説明はあまり理解できなかったのでロケーションを楽しみました。オフロードの道が楽しく最後の水溜りを駆け抜けるところはスリル満点でした。

Since it was a Japanese instructor, I felt安心して参加できました. I participated with the desire to see a honu, so I was worried about the weather on the day of the event. Although the sea was slightly murky, I was able to meet the honu I had longed to see, and the instructor took many photos for me, creating wonderful memories.

日本人のインストラクターの方だったので、安心して参加できました。ホヌに逢いたい願望で参加したので、当日は天候が怪しくて心配もありました。実際に海は若干の濁りがありましたが念願のホヌにも逢え、インストラクターの方にたくさん写真を撮っていただきいい思い出になりました。

I think it would be beneficial to check the days when low tide coincides with the tour time, as participating then may enhance your satisfaction. While the dry season is likely the best time to join, I still had a great time even on a cloudy day.

I didn't mind the rocking of the boat. I took motion sickness medication, which seemed to help, and I was able to enjoy myself without feeling sick. The light snack of spam onigiri was delicious. There were also cocoa, miso soup, and snacks available, which made for a fulfilling experience.

In January, the weather was cloudy, so the sea felt cold, but I gradually got used to it. I participated in a swimsuit, rash guard, rash trunks, and reef shoes, which kept me comfortable. Each group received one stand-up paddleboard (SUP), allowing us to enjoy it to the fullest. The water was quite shallow, so there was no worry about drowning. After thoroughly enjoying the SUP, I joined the snorkeling activity. Even for first-timers, the staff provides support, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. I brought a GoPro, so I was able to capture videos underwater. I recommend bringing your smartphone in a waterproof case or a waterproof camera to take plenty of photos and videos. Many Japanese participants joined, and there were explanations in Japanese each time, with all the staff being very kind. Luggage is stored under the chairs by group, so it's advisable to bring a bag that can get wet since there is a possibility of getting splashed. There are no coin lockers, so it's best not to bring valuables like passports and to take only cash for tips and one credit card.

On the way back, the bus stopped at a malasada food truck, which only accepted credit cards, so if you want to enjoy malasadas, it's a good idea to bring a credit card.

I gave tips to the staff on the boat and also to the bus driver on the way back. It would be wise to prepare tips for both.

干潮がツアー時間と被る日を調べて、参加すると満足度が高まるかと思います。乾季の参加がベストかとは思いますが、曇りでも十分楽しめました。

船の揺れは気になりませんでした。酔い止めを飲んでいたのが効いたのか酔わずに楽しめました。
軽食はスパムおにぎりが美味しかったです。ココアや味噌汁、スナック菓子もあり充実しています。

1月の参加で天気も曇りでしたので海は冷たく感じましたがだんだんと慣れてきました。服装は水着+ラッシュガード、ラッシュトレンカ、リーフシューズで参加し、快適に過ごせました。SUPは1グループに1つ配られるので思う存分楽しむことができました。結構浅瀬なので溺れる心配もありませんでした。SUPを十分に楽しんだ後はシュノーケルに参加しました。シュノーケルが初めての人でもスタッフがサポートしてくれるので安心して楽しめます。GoProを持って行ったので海中の動画を撮ることができました。防水ケースに入れてスマホを持っていくか、防水カメラを持っていくと写真や動画がたくさん取れて楽しめると思います。日本人が多く参加しており、日本語での説明も毎回あり、スタッフは全員とても親切でした。荷物はグループごとに椅子の下にしまいます。水に濡れる可能性があるので水に濡れても良いカバンで参加するのがオススメです。コインロッカーはないので、パスポートなどの貴重品は持参せず、チップ分の現金とクレジットカード1枚だけ持って行くと良いと思います。

帰りのバスでマラサダのキッチンカーに寄ってくれて、そこは現金が使えず、クレジットガードのみだったのでマラサダを食べたい人はクレジットカードを持って行くと良いと思います。

チップは船上のスタッフさんに渡したのと、帰りにバスの運転手さんにも渡しました。それぞれ用意しておくのがいいかと思います。

Wonderful time!! Beautiful view of Waikiki and sunset. Also a whale sighting.

The Hawaii version of Cirque du Soleil "AUANA." The performances without safety ropes, high-altitude balancing, juggling, and skating—every performer was truly amazing! The entire show had a structure that made you feel the essence of Hawaii, and the sense of unity, as if all the guests were participating together, was really wonderful.

ハワイバージョンのシルク・ド・ソレイユ「AUANA」。命綱なしのパフォーマンスや高所のバランス、ジャグリングにスケートなど、どのパフォーマーも本当にすごい！の一言。演目全てにハワイを感じられる構成と、ゲストも全員で演じているような一体感がとても良かった。

Tremendous experience - incredible crew - jump then go to Wicked HI Cafe for the best post-jump meal ever.

The staff who spoke Japanese were very kind and helpful. Not all of the slides are operational, but I think you can still enjoy some of them. If you're coming by car, please be aware that the parking fee is cash only.

日本語が話せるスタッフの方がとても親切で助かりました。スライダー系は全てが稼働しているわけではありませんが、一部でも楽しめるかと思います。
車で来る方は駐車料金が現金払いですので気をつけてください。

Premier seat reservation for a family of four.
I was hoping to be seated on the front side, but we ended up on the edge of the front row. I was worried about whether we would be able to see properly, but it turned out to be quite impressive because we were so close (though we did get a little splashed).
I think the theater has good visibility with steps in all the seats, but if you have small children, it might be wise to be careful with your seat selection. If a larger person from Europe or America sits in front of you, you might not be able to see.

プレミアシート予約　家族4人
正面側になれば良かったのですが、最前列の端側でした。ちゃんと見えるかなと不安でしたが、端側でも問題ないどころか近いためかなり迫力があります。(少し水が掛かります)
全ての席に段差があり見やすい劇場かと思いますが、小さいお子さんがいる場合は席の選択を気を付けたほうがいいかも。前の席に欧米のカラダが大きな方が座ると見えないかもしれません。

I was able to see the honu (sea turtle). It's recommended to go when you have enough stamina, as you'll be snorkeling for a long time. I felt cold and got a bit seasick along the way, but thanks to the instructors, I was able to participate in a fun atmosphere.

ホヌが見れました。長い時間シュノーケリングをする為、体力がある時がお勧めです。途中で寒く感じ波酔いをしましたが、先生方のお陰で楽しい雰囲気で参加出来ました。

Good history lesson. Touching. Lots to do and see. Want to go back and see th e air museum

The staff is very friendly, helpful, and have a sense of humor! For the zip lining. It’s was fun! The short “hikes” weren’t too bad. Waiting stations with cups available were also on every other zip line area.

This was my first luau and I really didn't know what to expect. I was greatly impressed with the quality of the program, the enthusiasm of the performers and the outstanding cuisine we enjoyed for the meal. The evening with the Toa Luau group was an unforgettable highlight to our visit to Hawaii. In addition to the luau, we had the opportunity to hike to the waterfall while enjoying the beauty of the botanical garden. As I said, the whole experience was unforgettable.

Great service,on time pickup. Navigated transportation well. The guides shined with extras such as wetsuits for hire and even prescription mask. In the water they knew where to find the fish and the easiest routes through the reef. Best snorkel tour for beginners. Lots of fun even for experienced snorkelers.

I have seen Cirque du Soleil about eight times around the world. This time, I watched it in Hawaii, and it was so moving that I was brought to tears. The precision of the performances was, of course, impressive, but each individual composition was also wonderful. My family who accompanied me was also touched. I highly recommend that whether you come to Hawaii for travel, study abroad, or business, you make sure to see it.

今までシルクドソレイユは８回ほど全世界で鑑賞してきました。　今回ハワイで鑑賞しましたが、涙が出るほど感動しました。　演技のキレはもちろんですが、一つ一つの構成が素晴らしかった。　同伴の家族も感動していました。　ぜひハワイに旅行、留学、ビジネスどれで来ても、鑑賞する事お勧めします。
