All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Everyone who visits Honolulu needs to go Pearl Harbor. We learned so much about that moment in history...how it happened...why we weren't able to stop it. And it was very meaningful to remember the lives of those who were lost and all that they stood for. We had a toddler with us and it was a good experience for all of us.

We participated as a family of five on New Year's Eve. We were blessed with clear weather, and it was a fun cruise. When the captain spotted a whale, there was an announcement, and while looking in that direction, we were able to see the whale's spout and back several times, and finally, we also saw its tail, which was great. The food was quite delicious as well. However, while the adults were fine, the children took motion sickness medication, but two out of three of them got seasick. In the latter part of the cruise, they served ginger juice, which helped a bit, but I think it would have been better if it had been offered a little earlier.

大晦日家族５人で参加しました。
晴天にも恵まれ楽しいクルーズでした。
キャプテンが鯨を発見すると場内アナウンスがあり、その方向を探していると鯨の潮吹きや背中が何回か見ることができ、最後に尻尾も見えよかったです。
食事も十分おいしかったです。
ただ大人は大丈夫でしたが、子供は酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが３人中２人は船酔いしてしまいました。クルーズの後半ジンジャージュースを出してくれ少しよくなりましたが、もう少し早く出してくれるともっと良かったと思います。

Guide was good. Area is VERY crowded. Time allowed was kind of short. I felt rushed at the top to head down.

Driver Garfield was a hoot! He recommended Fumi's for Shrimp and he was right on the money!

Our tour guide Justin picked us up promptly outside our hotel when expected. He was very laid-back and friendly. We had a small group of 10. The bike ride was wonderful!! I would recommend it to everyone. Justin pointed out the must-see beaches (Pipeline, Sunset, Waimea) and north shore roadside eateries. North shore was unbelievable, unlike anything I've ever experienced. On the second half of the tour, we rode paddle boards which was also a blast! It was quite an upper body workout and was inexpensive too. Justin was very knowledgeable about the history of HI and kept us entertained during the drive. I would highly suggest everyone take this tour!

We were a party of 6, including our newborn granddaughter who was only four days old. The staff went out of their way to be helpful to us. This was a GREAT experience, something we will always cherish! Everything that was offered happened. We seen whales immediately and the food was delicious.Thank You.

Very informative and sobering experience.

I would not want to come to Hawaii without seeing the Arizona!

I didn't have high expectations for the food, but the warm drinks (self-service with free drinks) and the meals were warm and delicious. Besides seeing whales, there were activities like lei-making, ukulele classes, and hula lessons, so even if we didn't see any whales, we could still enjoy the cruising and activities. During our trip, it seemed like we encountered a mother and calf whale, and they were frequently surfacing for air. (Unfortunately, we didn't get a clear view of their heads or tails...) However, most of the explanations were in English, and sometimes the Japanese announcements were delayed or omitted. Still, the staff was cheerful and bright, shouting "Whale!" Overall, you can enjoy the cruising experience by itself.

食べ物は余り期待していなかったのですが、
温かい飲み物（セルフサービスはフリードリンク）で
食事も温かく美味しかったです。
鯨を見ることもさることながら、アクティビティとして
レイ作りやウクレレ教室・フラレッスンもあり
万が一鯨が見られなくてもクルージングとアクティビティで
楽しめるようになっていました。
私たちが参加した回は親子の鯨だったみたいで
頻回に呼吸をしていました。
（残念ながら頭や尾をはっきりくっきり観る事は無かったですが・・・・）
ただ殆どの説明が英語で日本語の案内が遅くなる事や日本語の説明が抜ける事もしばしば・・・
それでもスタッフが陽気で明るく「くじらぁ~」と叫んでくれます。
総合的にみてクルージングだけでも楽しめます。

The waves were high. The water was choppy and we LOVED it! No whales but it was so pretty we didn't mind. The rain check is nice. The food was good and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

I enjoyed the East Coast, including Hanauma Bay, by taking the Blue Line at the end of the year. It was not crowded, and it was great to experience the unique buses of Hawaii.

年末にブルーラインにのってハナウマ湾など東海岸を楽しみました。空いていたしハワイ独特のバスでよかったですよ。

Going to Pearl Harbor was an amazing experience. It was very touching. Taking a bus tour to Pearl Harbor eliminates the need for driving in traffic through Honolulu as well as dealing with parking. The tour gave us enough time to roam around and also took us on a trip through Honolulu showing some sights. This is one activity that is definitely better suited as a bus tour.

I traveled to Hawaii at the end of the year and participated in a cruise. The night before, there was a rare experience of a complete power outage across the island, which made me wonder if the cruise would still take place, but it went ahead as planned.

This time, I signed up for the standard package without transportation or lunch. Check-in was supposed to be by 11:45, but I arrived at 11:02 on the Red Line trolley while sightseeing around the city. The large Star of Honolulu was docked, so I quickly found the check-in counter.

Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any whales this time, but I enjoyed a relaxing cruise off the coast of Honolulu. Onboard, there were activities like lei-making, ukulele lessons, and hula dance classes, with people from various countries participating.

If you don't encounter any whales, they issue a reboarding ticket before you disembark. With that ticket, you can reboard during the season. I think it's best to participate without having too high expectations of seeing whales.

年末に渡ハし、参加してきました。
前日の夜に全島停電という貴重な？体験をし、クルーズは大丈夫か？と思っていましたが、決行されました。
今回は送迎なし、ランチなしのスタンダードで申し込み。
１１：４５までにチェックインとなっていましたが、１１：０２到着のトロリーのレッドラインで街中を観光しながら到着。
大きなスターオブホノルル号が泊まっているので、チェックインカウンターもすぐ発見できました。
今回は残念ながら鯨には遭遇できませんでしたが、ホノルル沖のクルーズが出来、とてものんびりとすごせました。
船内ではレイ作りやウクレレ教室、フラダンス教室などを行っており、各国の人々が参加していました。
鯨に遭遇できなかった場合、下船前に再乗船のチケットを発行してくれます。それを持っているとシーズン中に再乗船が可能になるそうです。
あまり鯨に期待をしすぎないで参加するのが良いと思いますよ。

We really enjoyed this tour!! Our guide was very knowlegable and experienced. Everyone visiting Oahu should visit the Arizona at least once. The Missouri was also very interesting, as was the Punchbowl.

I participated on December 17th. As expected, I didn't see any whales, let alone dolphins. However, I was able to enjoy a bit of a cruising vibe, and seeing Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea was lovely, so it was good in its own way. I also joined a hula lesson, which made me forget about feeling seasick, and it was fun. I will try again!

12月17日に参加しました。　やはり鯨どころかイルカにもあえませんでした。
でも　ちょっとしたクルージング気分が味わえて　海から見るダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキも素敵でそれはそれなりに　よかったです。
フラのレッスンに参加して船酔い気分も吹っ飛びたのしかったです。またチャレンジします。

I participated previously.
In contrast to Oahu's image of blue, Kauai has an image of red. When I was considering a day trip, I was torn between Maui and the Big Island, but I decided to go with Kauai, a place that not many Japanese people visit.
In a word, it's nature! It feels like the island has remained untouched by development. I participated with my family, and it seems my daughter loved the fern cave while my husband preferred the canyon. This island offers various spirits that touch different people in different ways.

以前参加しました。
オアフのブルーというイメージに対して、カウアイはレッドというイメージです。日帰りツアーを検討していた時、マウイ島にするかハワイ島にするか悩んだのですが、あまり日本人が行かないカウアイ島にしようと決め参加しました。
　一言で言うと大自然！島が開発されずにそのまま残っているという感じです。家族で参加しましたが、娘はシダの洞窟がパパは渓谷がお気に入りになったようでした。人によって感動するものが違ういろんなスピリッツを与えてくれる島でした。

EVERYONE WAS COURTEOUS AND NICE.INSPITE OF THE RUFF THE SEA IT WAS VERY NICE. I WOULD DO IT AGAIN ON MY NEXT VIST.

I am a repeat visitor to Hawaii. Major travel companies have their own trolleys, but if you come through personal arrangements or other travel companies, the Waikiki Trolley is like a reliable sneaker.
I always use the Waikiki Trolley, and we frequently rely on the Pink Line and Red Line as our main means of transportation.

ハワイのリピーターです。大手旅行会社は専用トロリーがありますが、個人手配や、その他の旅行会社で来た場合は頼りにになるワイキキのスニーカーのようなものです。
　いつもワイキキトロリーを利用しており、特にピンクラインとレッドラインが我が家の足として頻繁に利用しています。

My first time in Hawaii. Before wandering around Honolulu, I decided to take in the view from the sea, so after arriving, I dropped off my luggage at the hotel and joined the tour. As soon as we set sail, we were greeted with the stunning scenery of Waikiki and Diamond Head right before our eyes. However, there was a bit of wind that day, and it was quite rocky offshore. Perhaps because of that, the buffet area during lunch wasn't too crowded and was quite smooth. Onboard, there were lessons for making leis, hula dancing, and ukulele playing, which seemed to create a lively atmosphere. Additionally, there were dance shows until disembarkation, and the crew's spirit of service was abundant. Finally, they came around selling group photos taken during boarding for $18. While it's not mandatory, it's a keepsake, so I felt compelled to buy it—what do you think? (laughs)

はじめてのハワイ。ホノルル市内を歩き回る前にまず海上から全体を眺めてみようという事で、到着後ホテルに荷物を預け参加しました。出航後、すぐにワイキキ・ダイヤモンドヘッドの素晴らしい風景を眼前にする事ができます。ただ当日は少し風があり沖合では結構揺れました。そのせいかランチ時のビュッフェコーナーもそう混む事もなくスムーズでした。船内では、レイ作製、フラダンス、ウクレレ等のレッスンがあり盛り上がっていた様です。また、降船時までダンス等のショーもありクルーのサービス精神は旺盛です。最後に乗船時グループ単位で写真を撮影したものを＄18で販売に来ます。強制ではないものの記念という事で買わざるを得ませんが、これはどうでしょうか（苦笑）

We had a great time on this cruise. The staff were very friendly, and the boat was beautiful. I would do this again.

Wonderful tour. Very moving. Something everyone from the United States should see and respect the memory of those that died there.

Took my wife on the 3 star and had a great time! Our waiter was a super waiter ... the food was fancy and tasty and the entertainment was fun. The best part is going up to the top deck and watching the sun go down. You will never see a more beautiful sunset!

This was an excellent trip

In Oahu, your transportation options will be The Bus, taxis, rental cars, or trolleys. Each has its pros and cons, but for a schedule of 4 nights and 6 days or 5 nights and 7 days, the trolley is convenient and affordable. It operates on designated routes: Red Line, Blue Line, Pink Line, and Yellow Line.

Basically, this trolley takes you around the main tourist spots in Oahu, making it perfect for short stays.

It's a mode of transport not found in Japan, and feeling the dry breeze of Waikiki is one of the joys of traveling to Hawaii.

オアフでの足は、ザ・バス、タクシー、レンタカー、トロリーのいづれかになる。おのおの長所・短所があるが、４泊６日や５泊７日のスケジュールで便利でお手軽なのが、このトロリーだ。レッドライン/ブルーライン/ピンクライン/イエローラインと所定のコースを回ってくれる。

　基本的にこのトロリーでオアフのメインの観光地を回ってくれるので短期滞在にもってこいである。

　日本にはない乗り物で、ワイキキの乾いた風を感じるのもハワイ旅行の楽しみのひとつだ。

　

A very touching and meaningful experience.
Regardless of what Island you may stay at it is very easy to Island hop.

The Pearl Harbor tour was well done. Our tour guide, who was also our bus driver, did a great job explaining how the tour would be conducted, getting our large group lined up in order, and seeing that we all gained entrance to the tour together. The one thing that I did not care for was the tour guide's advice about who to vote for in the American presidential election. It reduced his tip by 50%.

The limo tour was wonderful. The driver was friendly and accommodating. Saw more of Oahu than would on any organized tour. Only complaint was the limo was a stretch Hummer. Hard to get in and out of.

Your follow up and reservation system was outstanding. Would highly recommend Hawaii Activities.

Loved the tour. Our tour guide was "Ed" very friendly and knowledgeable. Also entertaining.
This was a fantastic day. It was nice to go and see the places we wouldn't have seen if we had driven around the island. So much would have been missed if we hadn't taken the tour.
We do plan to do it again sometime. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice adventure.

Amazing service, food, music, ambiance ... the entire night was brilliant. My friends and I found this experience totally worth the money and we highly recommend it!

Our guide was coughing into the mike as he talked and we thought if he was sick, he should have stayed home. He could have at least removed the mike when he was coughing.

The tour itself was wonderful!
