Oahu
I had always wanted to try horseback riding, but I never had the opportunity until now. I was a bit anxious because the riding instructor only spoke English. However, I felt reassured thanks to the Japanese video explanations and the driver’s guidance on how to operate everything.
I realized just how cute horses can be. My horse was smart and responded well to my handling of the reins. There were some horses that seemed a bit more free-spirited, and I noticed some people had a bit of trouble with them.
Riding while looking at the refreshing blue sea and sky became an unforgettable memory. Since we were just walking slowly in a line, it might be a bit lacking for intermediate riders.
ずっとやりたかったのですが機会がなくて初めての乗馬体験、乗馬のインストラクターは英語のみで不安でした。でも、日本語の動画説明やドライバーさんのお話やらで操作などが分かり安心しました。
馬ってこんなに可愛いもんなんだと思いました。私の馬はお利口で、私の手綱さばきにも素直でした。中には少し自由奔放な馬もいたみたいで、苦労されていた方もいました。
爽やかな青い海と空を見ながらの乗馬は忘れられない思い出になりました。
ゆっくり並んで歩くだけなので、中級者の方には物足りないかもしれません。
Since helmets are mandatory, I think a hairstyle that is easy to wear would be good.
ヘルメットは必須なので、被りやすい髪型がいいかと思います。

Unexpectedly, there were rocks everywhere. I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time reaching the summit. I'm just tired. The view was amazing, and the breeze felt nice.
意外に岩がゴロゴロしていました。
ハワイは何回も来ていましたが、初めて登頂。疲れたの一言です。景色が素晴らしく、風が気持ち良かった。
It's best to be light on your feet in sneakers. I recommend starting early in the morning. I began around 8 AM.

We saw all of Pearl Harbor at our pace with a guided tour of the Missouri. You get 2 consecutive days to see everything. It was a very memorable visit. Book your boat to the Arizona first. We booked the Pearl Harbor pass first then had to change it due to no tickets available for our original dates. Also the dates are available about a month early.
You can get standby tickets to the Arizona but it’s not guaranteed.
The inside of the ship and submarine are not accessible to wheelchairs and are very tight spaces.
It was fun on the comfortable bus. Our guide, Tony, was amazing; he was knowledgeable about everything, including history, even though he spoke only in English. It was also educational to feel how Americans convey their thoughts about Pearl Harbor and Japan. I'm really glad I participated.
Since Haleiwa is only about two hours, please decide on what you want to do and which shops you want to visit, and make sure to move quickly.
On weekends, Haleiwa has the whole chicken at Ray's open, so I recommend it for chicken lovers.
The roads were clear, so we returned to Waikiki before 3 PM. It was an early morning, but it was a meaningful use of time.
快適なバスで面白かったです。
英語のみだけど、歴史から全てに精通しているガイドさんTonyさん、最高でした。
アメリカの方々が真珠湾の話や、日本に対しての考えをどう伝えているのかも感じれるのも勉強でした。
参加して本当に良かったです。
ハレイワが2時間くらいなので、やりたい事、いきたいお店を決めて駆け足で
回ってください。
土日のハレイワは
丸ごとチキンのレイズがOPENしているので、チキン好きにおすすめです。
道路が空いていたのか3時前にはワイキキに戻ってきました。朝早いけど、有意義につかえます。
The bus sits on the right side.

The whole day was pack full of things to do, and each of them were really special. It was a very long day, and the weather was warm, especially on the Missouri. I would not have skipped a thing, though. The staff were all wonderful and you could tell they had so much respect for the history of the place. This was a bucket list item for me, and I'm so grateful tho have been able to go.
Go early, get on the waitlist for the Arizona Memorial immediately. Drink lots of water.
I had a great time!!
Horseback riding by the seaside was an unforgettable experience.
It was nice that they took me since I didn't have a car.
とても楽しかったです！！
海辺での乗馬は忘れられない体験です。
車がなかったので、連れて行ってくれるのは良かったです。
You will be picked up from the main hotels in Honolulu and head north to Oahu. Please be aware that some pickup locations can be a bit tricky to find!

I chose this tour especially because it didn't include malasadas or acai. Since watching the sunrise wasn't the goal, the pickup and end times were just right. You can easily get malasadas and acai by going to the shops yourself, so I recommend this tour.
特にマラサダやアサイーが付いていないこのツアーを選びました。
日の出も目的ではなかったのでちょうどいい時間でのお迎えと終了時間でした。
マラサダもアサイーも自分でお店に行けば簡単に食べれるのでこのツアーはオススメです。

I was informed that the driver had the QR code for the VIP booklet, but when I asked, I was told they didn't have it. The bus was delayed, and due to Black Friday, my arrival was an hour late. The bus from the outlet was supposed to arrive on time, but it came 40 minutes late. If it was going to be crowded because of Black Friday, I wish the pickup bus had come earlier to account for that. I ended up wasting a lot of time, which was disappointing.
運転手さんがVIPブックレットのQRコードを持ってるとのことでしたが、聞いてもないと言われ、バスが来るのが遅れてたことやブラックフライデーもあり、到着が1時間遅れ、アウトレット発のバスも時間通りに待ってましたが、40分遅れてバスが来ました。ブラックフライデーで混んでいるのであれば、それを想定して迎えのバスは早めに向かってきてほしかったです。無駄な時間がたくさんあり、残念でした。

I have visited Haleiwa several times, but I wanted to go to Waimea Valley, so I joined this tour. I was also satisfied to see Pohakuloa on the mini tour.
However, there was one issue: the schedule stated that we would leave Waimea Valley at 11:00 AM and arrive in Haleiwa around 11:30 AM, with the mini tour departing at 12:30 PM. I had hoped to eat garlic shrimp during that time, but the actual departure from Waimea was at 11:30 AM, leaving us with only 30 minutes in Haleiwa. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat anything there, which was disappointing. Since I planned my participation in advance, I would like the schedule to be followed properly.
ハレイワには何度か来ましたが、ワイメア渓谷に行ってみたかったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。ついでにミニツアーでポハクラナイを見ることができて満足です。
ただ一点、予定では11時にワイメア渓谷を出発して11時半頃ハレイワに到着、ミニツアー出発は12時半とあったのでその間にガーリックシュリンプを食べたいと思っていたのですが、実際のワイメア出発時間は11時半でハレイワ滞在時間は30分しかなく、結局現地では何も食べることができず残念な思いをしました。こちらは事前に予定を組んで参加しているのでスケジュールはちゃんと守ってほしいです。
Don't forget to tip.

I had a great time from morning until evening. Besides the pink line of the Waikiki Trolley, the Lealea Trolley expands my options and is essential when going out.

Since my travel companion was visiting Hawaii for the first time, we enjoyed a tour of the North Shore in a luxury car! We thoroughly enjoyed the course we chose. Ken's extensive knowledge and sense of humor made for a fun time, complete with quizzes! He recommended delicious garlic shrimp and coconut pie places, leaving us very satisfied! I would love to do this again next time. Aloha (the Hawaiian word he taught us)!
同行者が初めてのハワイ旅行でしたので、高級車でノースショア観光をして来ました！！
お任せしたコースで、堪能しました。
ケンさんの豊富な案内とユーモア溢れ、クイズを交えて楽しい一時を過ごせました！！
美味しいガーリックシュリンプ、ココナッツパイのお店を教えて頂き、お腹も満足！！

I think it's good to clearly communicate the places you want to go.
自分の行きたい所をしっかり伝えると良いと思います。
I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with you on your first trip to Hawaii. As a former chef, I am particular about taste, so I recommend only the best places.

I was looking for a place I had never been to and a tour I had never experienced before, and I found this tour. I have been to the Dole Plantation many times, but this was the first time I learned that you can take a factory tour right across the street.
On the day of the tour, it had rained the night before, so the ground was nicely damp, which was great. Our guide, Nori, took photos at various locations and also took us to sightseeing spots other than Haleiwa Town. I think it was because there were only a few participants that he was able to accommodate our requests.
今までに行ったことのない場所、経験したことの無いツアーを探していて、本ツアーを見つけました。ドールプランテーションには何度も行っていますが、向かい側で工場見学ができることを今回初めて知りました。
ツアー当日は、前夜に雨が降ってことで地面の土がほどよく湿っていて良かったです。
ガイドのノリさんは、場所場所で写真を撮ってくださり、ハレイワタウン以外にも観光名所に連れて行ってくれました。参加者が少人数だったのでリクエストに応えてくれたのだと思います。
If you are going to participate, please avoid wearing white shoes and clothes as they will get dirty with red soil. You will receive one cut pineapple as a souvenir per person, so I recommend particip
これから参加される方は、赤土で汚れるので白い靴、洋服は避けて下さい。お土産にパイナップルを1人1個（カットされたもの）を頂けるので、旅行前半での参加をお勧めします（食べきれないので）

This is my second time using this service. I will arrive in Haleiwa before 9 AM. It took a little time to get through the busy downtown area on the way there due to heavy traffic. The route may change depending on the driver and traffic conditions. We have five hours on-site, but if you enjoy shopping, that might not be enough time. The main area from around Giovanni's Shrimp Truck to Surf N Sea is walkable. I gave the driver a tip for both the outbound and return trips, but I didn't see many other people doing the same.
今回2回目の利用です。ハレイワには9時前に着きます。
行きの中心部を抜けるのは交通量の多さから少し時間掛かりました。
運転手や交通量により、ルートは変わるかも知れません。
現地5時間ですが、ショッピング多い人は足りないかも知れません。メイン南北(ジェニーズのガーリックシュリンプ辺りからsurfnsea辺りまで)
は徒歩で可能です。
運転手さんには行き帰りでそれぞれChipを渡しましたが、他の方は余り渡している様子は見られませんでした。
For those who don't use rental cars, I recommend a longer stay. As for the tip, we gave $5 for one way (laughs). I'm not sure if that's a lot or a little.
レンタカー使わない方には、滞在時間長めでお勧めです。
Chipは私達は、片道5ドル渡しました(笑)。多いか少ないかはわかりません。

The Manoa Falls Trail has beautiful scenery and it’s an easy/ moderate hike going up. But the Manoa Falls at this time ( November) has little water but still worth the hike and a lot of great spots for IG.
Orlando our tour guide is very knowledgeable and made a lot of good recommendations around Honolulu. He provided us with water and bug spray. He is on time picking us up in the hotel.
Thank you and it was a great experience!
We were picked up in front of the hotel at 5:30 AM and headed to Diamond Head. The Japanese guide was cheerful, kind, and absolutely wonderful! We had an amazing time enjoying the best sights of Oahu.
朝5時半にホテル前でピックアップしてもらってダイヤモンドヘッドへ。日本語ガイドさんが陽気で親切で最高によかった！オアフ島のいいとこどり観光でめちゃくちゃ満喫出来ました。

After visiting the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor on November 18, 2025, I went to the Battleship Missouri Memorial. I was able to make an online reservation before departing from Japan, which made my visit very reassuring.
The Battleship Missouri was launched in January 1944 and participated in the Iwo Jima and Okinawa landings. On September 2, 1945, it served as the venue for the signing ceremony of the surrender documents between the Allied forces led by General MacArthur and the Japanese government delegation led by Foreign Minister Shigemitsu.
Later, in 1950, it was deployed during the Korean War, and although it was decommissioned in 1955, it was reactivated in 1986. It participated in the Gulf War in 1991, was decommissioned again in 1992, and arrived at Pearl Harbor in 1998, opening as a memorial the following year. The Missouri is referred to as the last battleship because it was the last to be completed and the last to be decommissioned.
There are Japanese-speaking volunteer guides on board who provide detailed information about the history of the Missouri, its main guns, and the surrender document signing ceremony, so I recommend requesting a guide.
There is a counter at the entrance where you can check in. After the guided tour, you can freely explore the ship. You can visit various areas of the battleship that are not typically accessible, including the bridge, the dining areas for senior officers and sailors, the sleeping quarters, and the ship's post office, making it a valuable experience.
2025年11月18日にパールハーバーのアリゾナ記念館を見学後、戦艦ミズーリ記念館を訪れました。
日本出発前にオンラインで予約が出来、安心して訪問する事が出来ました。
戦艦ミズーリは1944年１月に進水後、硫黄島上陸作戦や沖縄上陸作戦に参加し、1945年9月2日マッカーサー元帥率いる連合軍側と、重光葵全権率いる日本政府代表団との間で、東京湾上で行われた降伏文書調印式の会場となりました。
その後1950年に朝鮮戦争に出動、1955年に一度退役しましたが、1986年に再就役し、1991年に湾岸戦争に出動、1992年に再度退役し1998年にパールハーバーに到着し、翌年から記念館として公開されています。
ミズーリは最後に完成し最後に退役した事から最後の戦艦と呼ばれています。
艦内では日本語のボランティアガイドが常駐していて、ミズーリの歴史や主砲、降伏文書調印式の様子などを詳しく教えてくれますから、ガイドを依頼する事をお勧めします。
艦に登った所にカウンターがありそこで受付をしています。
ガイド終了後は自由に艦内を見学出来ます。艦橋を始め上級士官や水兵の食堂、寝室、艦内の郵便局など、普通目にする事が出来ない戦艦の様々な場所を見学出来るので貴重な体験です。
It takes about 2 hours to see everything inside the ship, so I recommend visiting with plenty of time to spare.
艦内を全て見るには約2時間程掛かりますから、時間には十分余裕をもって訪問する事をお勧めします。

I was able to visit all the places I wanted in Haleiwa in just five hours. Participating in the mini-tour was great, and the guide was very kind. The fact that the tour included a stop at Pōhakuloa was the deciding factor for me to choose this tour. During our free time, I enjoyed Giovanni's garlic shrimp and coffee at the North Shore Marketplace, which were delicious. It was also fun to watch the surfers riding the big waves at Haleiwa Beach. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour.
ハレイワでの5時間で行きたいところに行けました。
ミニーツアーに参加出来て案内も親切でした。
ポハク・ラナイがミニーツアーで入っていたのが決め手でのこのツアーにしたので。
自由時間にジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプ、ノースシェアマーケットプレイスでのコーヒーが美味しかったです。
ハレイワ海岸でビッグウェーブでサーフィンしてる人たちを見てるのも楽しかったです。
大満足のツアーでした。
Since there is a meeting time for the mini tour, please be mindful of the time allocated for shopping. I wish I could have seen more, but there wasn't quite enough time to visit the shops.
ミニツアーの集合時間もあるので、ショップ巡りの時間配分に気をつけて下さい。

The scenic drives along the east coast were stunning, and our guide shared fun stories and little-known facts about the island
A fantastic tour that showed the diversity of Oahu. The day was ell-paced which made it easy to enjoy everything without feeling rushed
Visiting the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the USS Arizona Memorial was deeply impactful. To follow the drive through the Punchbowl National Cemetery and downtown Honolulu offered interesting insights into Hawaii’s history and culture
From the moment we arrived, the festive atmosphere was inviting, the evening gave all guests a great mix of culture, cuisine, and excitement!!
The tour was well-paced, with ample time at the USS Arizona Memorial to reflect on its history.
A fun Hawaiian evening! The shell lei and included drink made for a festive welcome, and the luau dinner offered tasty traditional dishes!
The atmosphere was festive and authentic, making it a truly memorable evening.
Plenty of stops for photos, snacks, and short walks. A well-organized, fun way to see the island in a single day.
The tour covered wonderful island highlights like the North Shore, East Side, and included stops at the Dole Pineapple Plantation and scenic viewpoints
The Friday add on of the fireworks at the end made the night extra special. Service was friendly and attentive, and the sunset views over Waikiki were stunning.
The hike itself is a quick 1.6 miles round trip and felt nice and quick!
The visit to the USS Arizona Memorial was moving and then the city portion highlighted key historic sites with insightful commentary. A memorable tour.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting a comprehensive, off-the-beaten-path island experience.
