All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

This was the most organized event I have ever been to. The staff was amazing and didn't miss a step. Honestly, with as many people they take care of and coming from all over the world, the staff was exceptional. Even the language barrier wasn't a problem. The food was excellent and the presentation was over the top. I would recommend this to anyone and will probably do this again.

I was excited to see the morning whales and set out. It was drizzling a bit, but I boarded the ship. First, we had a morning brunch (buffet), which felt a little lacking. When we arrived along the coast of Diamond Head, I got my camera ready and waited. However, unfortunately, the boat returned. They said they would give us a free ticket to try again during the period, but I can't stay in Hawaii that long. I'll try again next year!

朝鯨がみれるとワクワクでかけました
小雨ぱらついていましたがいざ乗船
最初にモーニングランチ（バイキング）少し物足りない感じ
ダイアモンドヘッド沿岸に到着いざカメラを構え待機
でもあられず(; ;)ﾎﾛﾎﾛ船は戻りました
期間中の再挑戦無料チケットをくばりますといわれましたが
そんなにハワイにいれない
来年再度挑戦(*^o^*)

Me & my mom had a blast on this dinner cruise. The staff, entertainment & food was superior. We would recommend this delightful activity to anyone coming to Waikiki. We would definitely do this again ourselves! This was a highlight & great memory of our Hawaiian vacation!

Our driver gave us history of the crater and tips about local spots as we traveled through the city. Very friendly. The hike was great. Very senic and not that taxing.

We stopped by the beach to see the sea turtles, and there was over an hour of free time for hiking in Haleiwa. It was packed with activities, but our guide managed the time very well, allowing us to enjoy everything without wasting any time. We also had a lot of conversations in the car, learning various things about Hawaii, which was very educational! Since I love plants, the guide taught us the names of mango trees and many Hawaiian flowers.

In Haleiwa, to make the most of our time, the guide recommended ordering garlic shrimp, which was incredibly delicious compared to what I had the day before in Waikiki.

We had plenty of time for the hiking course while waiting for those participating in the horseback riding tour. After hiking, we could relax and have tea, so rather than feeling like we were waiting, we could stroll at our own pace and enjoy shaved ice, which was a good balance.

I would love to join the same plan again and see the sea turtles that I missed this time!

ドールによって、海がめみにビーチに立ち寄り、ハレイワで1時間以上のフリー
ハイキングでは2時間以上のフリー時間でした。盛りだくさんですが
すごく時間をしっかり仕切ってくださるガイドの方でしたので無駄なく楽しめました。また車中もすごく沢山話をして色々ハワイのお話が聞けて勉強になりました!
植物が好きなのでマンゴーの木やハワイのお花の名前も沢山教えてくれました。
またハレイワでは効率よく過ごすためにガイドさんおすすめのガーリックシュリンプを注文してくれました。前日ワイキキで食べたものとは比べ物にならないくらいおいしかったです。

乗馬のツアー参加の方を待つのでハイキングコースは時間がすごくたっぷりあるようですが
ハイキング終わってお茶したりもできるので待ったというよりは自分のペースでゆっくり散策・カキ氷を食べたりでき配分も良かったです。

また同じプラン参加して、今回見れなかった海がめを見たいです！

The transportation was smooth, and despite the strong winds, the boat didn't sway much, which was great. However, unfortunately, we weren't able to see any whales.

送迎もスムーズで船も風が強かったにも関わらずあまり揺れることなく良かったです。ただ、残念ながらクジラを見ることが出来きませんでした。

I participated in the tour at the movie village and the secret beach. The movie village was very good, but the secret beach felt like being under a tent due to heavy rain, and when I finally thought the bus would come to pick us up, it took a long time to arrive, leaving me with a negative impression. I understand that the weather was a factor, but what I found disappointing was that I left something on the return bus, and when I inquired about it, I didn't receive proper assistance. They said they would check and get back to me, but I never heard from them. I know it's my fault for leaving something behind overseas, but I felt the response was quite poor. It's disappointing.

ツアー自体は、映画村とシークレットビーチに参加しました。 映画村はとても良かったのですが、シークレットビーチは大雨でほとんどテントの下にいるような感じで、やっと帰れると思ったらなかなかバスが迎えに来なく良い印象がありません。天気の問題もあったのでしょうがないのですが、私が残念だと感じたのが、帰りのバスに忘れ物をしてしまい問い合わせたところまともに対応してもらえず確認して折り返すと言って連絡がなかったこと。
海外で忘れ物をしたこちらが悪いのですが、あまりにも対応が酷いように感じました。残念です。

Great to have a ride there and back to our hotel and water provided. Way too much time left in the park though. Our entire group was done the hike in about an hour and had to wait another hour and a half for him to return.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our server was very attentive, the food delicious and the entertainment was exceptional. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

We participated as a couple. We boarded the boat with a mix of skepticism and high expectations about what we would see. Every time someone shouted, there was a commotion and movement, which was a bit tiring... but we did see it. Just when we thought we might not see anything, we spotted the tail... Unfortunately, we couldn't see the large body, but the view of Honolulu Beach from the sea was breathtaking. I would like to participate again during a better season.

夫婦二人で参加しました。どのくらい見えるのか、半信半疑も期待大で乗船しました。誰かが叫ぶたびにどよめきと移動で少々くたびれましたが・・・見えたんです。もう駄目かなと思っていたときに尾びれが・・・残念ながら大きなからだの部分は見えませんでしたが、海から眺めるホノルルビーチの風景は絶景でした。また季節の良い時に参加したいと思います。

Really nice cruise, Great music and service. Relaxing, nice views of Honolulu.

This was just perfect for me and aside from the strong winds causing the visitor center to be closed , I was very happy I took the self guided tour and yet had the informative drive up to the drop off location with the added pointers, water and walking stick (it did come in handy but I could've done without it). It was a good value and our driver Romero , was great!

Our day at Pearl Harbor was poignant and thought provoking about one of the United States' greatest experiences with man's inhumanity to man. It made us proud that we persevered and eventually won this horrible war, but saddened and overwhelmed that so many lost their lives in this effort. As for what could be improved in the commercial experience, I would recommend fliers accompany the headsets we rented for the Arizona tour to provide better information regarding how to work them. We had difficulty working these, and turned them in early before realizing how they should work. We arrived late for our tour time due to rental car issues, so it is possible this criticism is unfair as we had to rush to make the start of our tour. Aside from that it was wonderfully educational and I would recommend it to everyone. It's a great place simply to sit and contemplate what might have been.

We had a few hours to spend on Oahu between the time we left our cruise ship and our mid-afternoon airplane departure, so of course we set up our tour through Platinum Limousine Service. We had previously experienced a wonderful one day tour, but there were still sights to see. Pua picked my husband and me up from the cruise ship dock on time in a Cadillac Escalade, perfect for our luggage, too. We love these Escalades, because they allow a higher vantage point while driving around the island. Pua asked us where we had been, and then quickly mapped out a tour for a few hours of sights we hadn't seen. We saw different picturesque views of Diamond Head and Waikiki, and drove into the crater. We drove the perimeter of Diamond Head, seeing the lighthouse and stopped at scenic overlooks while Pua explained films that had been made there, or history about the area. She took us to see two different blowholes on the east coast, and the beautiful town of Kailua -- our favorite on Oahu. At Pua's suggestion, we ate lunch at Buzz's, across from the beautiful beach in Kailua, and it was delicious! I have never tasted such a wonderful squid steak, and our lunches were perfect. We drove along the coastline and then across the island to the airport, stopping at the Nu'uanu/Pali Lookout over the tunnel through the mountain, where the winds blow in a famous updraft that will take your hat off your head if you aren't paying attention, but which has gorgeous views of the island and the ocean beyond. Pua was an excellent guide, and knows the history of her island and willingly shares information on local customs and traditions. She is fun and personable. If you have a few hours or a day, set up a trip with Platinum Limousine Service. You won't be sorry.

I participated in a beach horseback riding plan with my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. After visiting Moanalua Gardens and Dole Plantation, we headed to Haleiwa. The guide mentioned that they would call in an order for garlic shrimp, but I really wanted to eat huli huli chicken, so I arranged this tour to match the day and decided to walk to get the chicken instead of ordering. There were no tables or chairs provided, so I enjoyed it sitting on a bench at a nearby bus stop.

I was able to enjoy shopping and take my time in Haleiwa more than on previous tours. Heather Brown's artwork was about $5 cheaper than in Waikiki (according to the staff, the prices differ because she operates out of the North Shore).

After that, we went horseback riding. The explanation was in English, but the guide also provided interpretation and took photos for us. The horse occasionally wandered off to eat grass, and I couldn't lead it as I wanted, but it was very gentle, and I enjoyed leisurely watching the ocean and taking pictures. I definitely recommend this over Kualoa.

Then we went to see the honu (sea turtles). The waves were high, so we thought we might not see them, but we were able to see them up close. Along the way, we saw a surfing competition from the car, making for a very fulfilling tour. The guide shared various stories and kindly offered to take photos at each stop, making for a very friendly and wonderful experience.

ハワイ初めての主人と２人で海辺乗馬プランに参加しました。
モアナルアガーデン、ドールプランテーションに続き、ハレイワへ。
ガイドさんがおすすめのガーリックシュリンプを事前に電話注文してくれるとの事でしたが、
私は今回どうしてもフリフリチキンを食べたくて、曜日を合わせてこのツアーを申し込んだので、注文せずフリフリチキンを食べに車を降りてから歩いて行きました。
食べる机やイスは用意されていないので、近くのバス停のイスで頂きました。
ショッピングをしたり以前参加したツアーよりもゆっくりとハレイワを満喫できました。
ヘザーブラウンの作品は、ワイキキよりも5ドル程安かったです。(店員さんによるとノースショアを拠点に活動しているので、値段が違うのだそう)

その後、乗馬へ。
英語での説明でしたが、ガイドさんが通訳もしてくれ、写真も撮ってくださいました。
お馬さんは、途中草を食べに寄り道したり思うようにリードすることが出来ないこともありましたが、とても大人しく、海を眺めたり写真を撮ったりのんびり楽しめました。
クアロアよりも断然おすすめです。
それからホヌを見に行きました。波が高いせいもあり、見られないかも…との事でしたが無事に間近で見ることが出来ました。
途中サーフィンの大会をやっているのを車から見られたり、とても充実したツアーでした。
ガイドさんも色々なお話をしてくれたり、行く先々で写真撮りましょうか～と話しかけてきて下さって、とても気さくで、素敵な時間を過ごせました。

When I booked the Early Bird Whale Watch Cruise for the 15th April, it was my only opportunity to possibly see some whales. I knew it was the last day of the Star of Honolulu Whale Watch Cuises and I may not necessarily see any whales, and unfortunately we didn't. But that didn't stop me from having an absolutely wonderful time. There were not may 'tourists' on this cruise, probably because it was the end of the season, and we were allowed to wonder about the boat freely. The staff were very informative, and really made us all feel very welcome. I spent my time walking about the ship taking some wonderful photos and talking to other tourists and staff. It was a beautiful sunny day, though a bit windy. To be out on the water on such a beautiful day with some fantastic people was a joy. It was a disappointment we didn't see whales, but a gamble I took when booking. The company guarantees you will see whales, in the event that you dont, they give vouchers for a free cruise, valid for 12 months.
Next time I go to Oahu it will be in January, and I can redeem the free cruise voucher.
I would recommend the Star of Honolulu whale watch cruises, the ship is beautiful and clean, the staff are fantastic, and the scenery is beautiful.

Taking this tour was very helpful in making sure we made the most out of our visit. Our guide gave us a detailed review of the area so that we were able to make an informed decision on our activities. I would definitely recommend this tour.

We celebrated a 25 th anniversary, and had a fantastic time. The crew was friendly and fun.

Amazing day! We learned so much!! Everything was very well organized from start to end. Our guide, Guy, was funny and very informative about the island and the sites we were visiting. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone except perhaps those with very small children or people needing wheelchair assistance. It can be done but the pace is pretty fast. The Mighty Mo was our favorite part.

This is a wonderful dinner cruise! From the onset, the staff and crew catered to our every need. Our server, Kahleo (sp?) was a doll! We chose the tenderloin and all-you-can-eat crab meal and have to say, it was excellent! The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and the crab was hot and plentiful! Our window seat table was awesome. I'm amazed how the crew can serve so many people a hot, wonderful meal! Fantastic cruise up to Diamond Head ending with a beautiful fireworks display. A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ evening! Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a dinner cruise!

At the secret beach in the morning, we had unlimited experiences with stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing, and we had a great time playing. Toward the end, we were taken a bit offshore on a board and were thrilled to see several swimming sea turtles up close. During the afternoon movie location tour, the Japanese bus guide entertained us with fun stories, and we enjoyed the beautiful views of the mountains and the sea. I'm really glad I made a reservation! 😊

午前中のシークレットビーチではサップやカヌーが体験し放題で、夢中になって遊びました。終盤にボードで少し沖に連れて行ってもらい、泳ぐウミガメを何匹も間近に見れて感動しました。午後の映画ロケ地ツアーでは日本語のバスガイドさんが楽しいお話しで盛り上げてくれて、山と海の景色が堪能できました。予約して本当によかったです(^^)

Knowledgable and friendly Guide. He had it well organized.

We got to see a lot more of the city, picking up and dropping guests from various hotels.

Great crew a very fun time for my wife and son and myself. Food was good desserts were good.
Hilight of the cruise was the sighting of a whale.
The M C was very friendly and our waiter Max could not have been more helpful.

We participated as a couple in our 60s, and I thought we would be stuck in a can from morning till night?! But time flew by, and I'm really glad we joined (*^^*) We were able to do some sightseeing and shopping too ★ I highly recommend this tour.

60代夫婦で参加しましたが、朝から晩まで缶詰状態⁈と思ってたが、時間もあっと言う間に過ぎて本当に参加してよかった(*^^*)観光も出来買い物も★このツアーはおすすめです。

The weather was unstable, and in Haleiwa, there was a power outage due to heavy rain and lightning, so we couldn't enjoy shopping, but we were able to enjoy horseback riding in the rain.

Perhaps because there were many people, there weren't enough rain gear, and the guide offered his own jacket. I thought it would be good to prepare with more leeway.

It was my first time horseback riding, but there were no problems at all. Even when the horse stopped to graze along the way, the staff casually said, "Let it eat."

The garlic shrimp recommended by the guide was the most delicious I've ever had, and I'm glad they introduced it to us. The children also said it was the most fun memory of their trip to Hawaii.

I would definitely like to participate again.

天気が不安定で、ハレイワでは大雨と落雷で停電し買い物は楽しめませんでしたが、乗馬は雨の中楽しむことが出来ました。
人数が多かったせいか雨具が足りず、ガイドさんが自分のジャケットを差し出していました。
余裕をもって用意していただきたいと思いました。
乗馬は初めてでしたが、何の問題もなかったです。
途中馬が道草を食っても、係りの人は「食べさせてあげて～」とのんびりした感じでした。
ガイドさんおすすめのガーリックシュリンプは、今までで一番おいしく紹介していただいてよかったです。
子供たちもハワイ旅行で一番楽しい思い出だと言っております。
またぜひ参加したいです。

I was looking forward to whale watching! I was worried about whether I would actually see a whale, but I was able to see them properly. I saw a mother and calf whale.

After that, a few more showed up, but they were quite far away, just showing a bit of their bodies above the surface, and there wasn't the big splash I was hoping for. However, the scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the cruise, so I was very satisfied.

I want to see a whale make a big splash someday, so if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again.

楽しみにしていたホエールウォッチング！クジラが実際に見られるか不安でしたがちゃんと見ることできました。
親子クジラ見えました。
その後も何頭か姿を見せてくれましたが、距離的には遠く水面から少し胴体を出すくらいで、期待していた胴体を水面にザッパーンとかはありませんでした。
ですが、景色も素晴らしかったしクルーズとしても楽しめたので大満足でした。

いつかザッパーンするクジラが見たいのでハワイに行く機会があったら是非また参加したいと思います。

Mr. Nakamura constantly shared various local stories, so the one-hour drive from Haleiwa to Oahu was not boring at all! The horseback riding in the valley was a bit nerve-wracking, but the horses are well-trained enough for beginners to ride comfortably, so you can ride with peace of mind. The staff at the riding arena are cheerful and kind people. I was able to enjoy the garlic shrimp in Haleiwa at a leisurely pace, and it was a very satisfying trip! 😊

中村さんが絶えず色々現地のお話をしてくれたので、ハレイワーオアフ間の1時間のドライブも退屈せず過ごせました！
渓谷乗馬は少しドキドキしましたが、初心者も心地よく乗れる位に訓練された馬なので、安心して乗れますよ〜。馬場のスタッフさんも陽気で優しい人です。
ハレイワのガーリックシュリンプもゆっくり食べれて、大満足の旅行でした＾＾

Had a lots of fun and a good activity to see the sunset

We had a great driver. He was very pleasant and informative. We learned a lot. We particularly enjoyed the Bowfin submarine. We had kids ages 8 and 10. It was very interesting. The movie about the history of Pearl Harbor very moving. The USS Mossouri was interesting but made tour a bit long for the kids. I would recommend the shorter tour of heading home after the Arizona Memorial if you have young kids. Submarine was highlight for us for the day.

I am sure I have done this, but will do it again"our visit to Pearl Harbor, was thought provoking,informative, sad, educational and enlightening. The story of Pearl Harbor is a tragic era in our modern history. As an Australian, I empathise with the Americans for the way their service people and civilians were attacked, violated and killed at that time in history. The war in the Pacific involved a list of countries. My place of work, is named after a Hospital Ship "Centaur "..this boat belonged to the Australian fleet. It was bombed off the coast of Queensland, north of Brisbane.....it had the flag stipulating its identity as a Hospital Ship, but was still attacked by a Japanese submarine. Many innocent people lost their lives on that day also, same as in Pearl Harbor. Our freer was sensational, his knowledge and wit were unbelievable..
