All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

As the name "Angel's Sea" suggests, the ocean is truly beautiful. The staff on the boat taught us about turtles and sea turtles, and they grilled hamburgers for us to enjoy on board, which was a unique experience that we don't usually get to have. It was so much fun!

天使の海の名の通り、海がほんとにきれい。船上のスタッフもカメ！とウミガメがいることを教えてくれたりハンバーグを焼いてくれて船上で食べるとかなかなか普段できない経験ができました☆楽しかった！

We booked this plan for our last dinner on our honeymoon in Hawaii!

I definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Hawaii.

First, we were guided to our seats as VIPs and received a welcome drink. You can choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, so everyone can enjoy it. Additionally, we received Hawaiian flower leis and hair accessories, which made us feel the essence of Hawaii right from the start.

The buffet was luxurious and quite filling, so it's best to go with an empty stomach!

During dinner, there was a hula dance show. There was a hula dance lesson before moving to the theater, but it coincided with the dessert buffet, so it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't enjoy dessert at a leisurely pace.

After that, the show was great, with both dance and singing being very satisfying. There were many songs I didn't know due to generational differences, but you can still enjoy it visually, so don't worry.

The guidance is primarily in English, but there are many Japanese people around, so you can feel at ease.

ハネムーンでハワイに来て最後の日の夕食にこのプランを予約しました！

ハワイに来た人にはぜひ参加して欲しいと思います。

まず、VIPで席に案内され、ウェルカムドリンクをいただきました。アルコール、ノンアル選べるので誰でも楽しめます。またハワイの花の首飾りや髪飾りももらえるので頭からハワイを感じられます。

ビュッフェの内容も豪華でかなりお腹いっぱいになるのでお腹は空かせて行った方が良いです笑

ご飯の際、フラダンスショーもあります。シアターへの移動前にフラダンスレッスンあるのですが、デザートビュッフェのタイミングと被っていたのであまりデザートをゆっくり食べれないのが残念ではありました。

そのあとショーにはありますが、ダンスも歌も大満足です。世代的に知らない歌が多かったですが、目で見ても楽しめるので安心してください。

案内は基本的には英語ですが、日本の方もたくさんいるので安心してください。

It was my first time parasailing and my first time in Hawaii, so I was a bit anxious, but it was an incredibly satisfying activity!! The waiver for accidents was also provided in Japanese, so I could sign it with peace of mind. I had a great view of Waikiki, and I could see Diamond Head as well. Since I enjoyed the wonderful scenery, I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering trying it!

初めてのパラセーリングかつ初めてのハワイで不安でしたが、とても大満足のアクティビティでした！！事故の際の誓約書等も日本語で作成されており安心してサインできました。ワイキキが一望できて、ダイヤモンドヘッドも見えました。素晴らしい景色を楽しめたので、迷っている方は是非トライしてみてほしいです。

Top pilot (Julien), doors off, beautiful day perfect for flying and many highlights included two whales with young, a huge pod of dolphins. stingrays and turtles. Julien kept us well (but not 'over' informed. To fly over some of Oahu's hot spots gave us another dimension altogether. We were captivated from start to finish.

I'm glad I could take my time to look around!! I recommend it!! There are some people who can speak a little Japanese, so you can use it with peace of mind!

ゆっくり見れてよかったです！！
おすすめ！！
日本語も少し話せる方がいるので
安心して利用出来ます！

Thank you guys for the amazing time! Would highly recommend this trip. We did see whales, beautiful views of paradise, some crap traps, and the site for the open shark dive. We loved the crew so much, we have now signed up for the shark dive! We can’t wait! The crew were fantastic, captain and skipper both knew and shared a ton of great information about the island. They took their time and were not in a rush. The sunset was also amazing. Could not have asked for a better trip!

We had an excellent adventure on our morning trip. The crew was great and took care of every possible detail to ensure all the guests had a good experience.
The live music was an added bonus that we truly enjoyed! Highly recommend this as a great way to spend a few hours on the water.

I boarded the cruise that departed at 10:30. About 10 minutes after setting sail, while we could still see the streets of Waikiki, there was an English announcement saying, "Look towards 3 o'clock," and we spotted a whale's spout. We changed spots here and there to see whales… whales… whales… Mostly, we caught glimpses of parts of their bodies coming out of the water, and if we were lucky, we could also see the whale's tail.

At one point, there was an announcement saying, "There are dolphins!" and we were able to see a pod of dolphins as well! For almost the entire two hours, we were able to see something, which felt like a great deal. The view of Diamond Head from the sea was also beautiful!

The boat rocked quite a bit. One adult on board got seasick, and my one-year-old daughter threw up… Even though the staff provided paper towels and water, I think it would be wise to be well-prepared for seasickness (paying attention to meals beforehand, bringing drinks, and having a change of clothes ready).

10時半に出航する回に乗り込みました。
出航して10分ほど…まだワイキキの街並みが全然見えるところでさっそく「3時の方向をよく見て」という英語アナウンスがあり、くじらの潮吹きが見られました。とこどころスポットを変えてはくじら…くじら…くじら…。主には水面に体の一部を出してくるかんじをとらえつつ、ブシューッと潮吹きの場面を観る感じですが、運が良いとあのくじらの“尾”を観ることもできました。
またある地点では「いるかがいるよ！」というアナウンスがあり、イルカの群も見られました！
2時間のほとんどで何かしらを観ることができて、とってもお得でした。海からのダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めもまたいいです！

船はかなり揺れました。
同乗の大人1名が途中船酔いでダウンし、1歳の娘は吐きました…。吐いてもスタッフの方がペーパータオルやお水をくれたりといろいろとよくしてくださったのですが、船酔い対策はいろいろと万全に（直前の食事への留意、飲み物を持ち込む、着替え用意）されたほうがいいかと思いました。

On my way back to the mainland U.S. via Hawaii, I had a 14-hour wait for my flight. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I heard that this winter season is perfect for whale watching, so I joined a sunset tour. I participated alone, but I had a great time. The guide was entertaining (laughs).

It would have been even better if we could have gotten closer to the whales, but perhaps because the boat was larger than the smaller ones, we observed from a bit further away. However, I was very satisfied to see the whales' tails. Unexpectedly, I also saw two dolphins. The sunset was beautiful and soothing. I'm glad I participated!!

ハワイ経由でアメリカ本土へ帰る際、ハワイでのフライト待ち時間が14時間ありました。ハワイ自体初めてでしたが、何よりもこの冬の時期、クジラウォッチングに最適との事で、サンセット込みのツアーに参加しました。1人での参加でしたが、存分に楽しめました。ガイドさん、面白かったです（笑）
もっとクジラに近づければなお良かったのですが、他の小型船より大型だったためか少し遠目からの見学でしたが、クジラのテイルも見れて大満足です。思いがけず、イルカも2匹見れました。サンセットも美しくて癒されました。参加して良かったです!!

On-site, after filling out a waiver and choosing a helmet and saddlebag, we watched a three-minute Japanese video. Once everyone was ready, we mounted the horses and started. The horses walk slowly, but when climbing hills, they move their legs quite a bit, causing a bit of a jolt. However, as long as you hold the reins firmly, there’s no problem. As we progressed through the forest, we came to a spot where we could see the beautiful blue ocean. The breeze felt nice! After that, we traversed hills nestled between mountains, and I truly felt that the mountains in Hawaii are beautiful. We returned to the starting point in almost exactly two hours, and after getting off the horse, my thighs trembled for a while. The weather was perfect, making it a wonderful experience for my husband and me.

現地では、免責同意書に記入、ヘルメットとサドルバッグ選択の後、３分ほどの日本語VTRを見ました。そして馬にまたがり、全員の準備が出来るとスタートです。馬はゆっくり歩きますが、坂を登る時などは足が大きく動くので、少し大きく揺さぶられます。でもしっかり手綱を持っていれば問題ありません。森を進むと青くて美しい海が見える所に出ます。風が気持ちいい！その後は山に挟まれた丘陵ですが、ハワイは山が本当に綺麗だと感じました。ほぼ２時間きっかりでスタート地点に戻り、馬から降りた後はしばらく太腿がプルプル震えました。天気が最高だったこともあり、私たち夫婦にとって素晴らしい体験でした。

It became the best memory.
First, when I arrived, I was given a lei, which really boosted my Hawaiian spirit.
The venue had a great atmosphere, and I enjoyed it.
Upon arrival, the cast members sang a welcome song with a ukulele for each group, which was moving!
The buffet had a wide variety of options, including fresh salads, whole roasted pig, and beef steak, which was very satisfying. The drinks included a welcome drink and another free drink, which felt like a great deal.
During the meal, there were also an Aloha show and hula dance lessons, which made it a lot of fun.
After finishing the meal and heading to the venue, I felt glad that I had a VIP seat in the front row.
The show was a fusion of American rock and the best of Hawaii, and being so close made it exciting and enjoyable!
Lastly, taking a photo with the cast members was a wonderful memory!
The location is right in the heart of Waikiki, making it easily accessible.
If you're in Hawaii, you should definitely see this to create lasting memories!

最高の思い出になりました。
まず到着するとレイをかけてもらえてハワイ感マックスでテンションブチ上がりです。
会場もいい雰囲気で楽しめます。
到着するとキャストの方がウクレレで一組ずつウェルカムソングを歌ってくださり感動！
ビュッフェは新鮮なサラダや豚の丸焼き、牛のステーキ等ラインナップも豊富で満足感が高いです。ドリンクもウェルカムドリンクともう一杯無料でついてきてお得感があります。
食事中もアロハショーやフラダンスレッスン等もありかなり楽しむことができました。
食事を終えて会場に向かうと一番前の席でVIP席にしてよかったと感じました。
アメリカンロックとハワイのいいところが融合したショーで間近で見れたこともあり常に興奮して楽しめました！
最後にキャストの方と写真が撮れたのもいい思い出です！
場所もワイキキど真ん中でアクセスもよいです。
ハワイにきたのであれば思い出になる為見たほうが良いです！

Upon arrival, a staff member who spoke Japanese provided an explanation of the facilities at Kualoa Ranch. After the facility tour, we moved to each experience location. The horseback riding experience was conducted entirely in English, but before it started, we watched a Japanese instructional video (about 5 minutes long).

We were able to ride for a solid two hours. The weather was great, and I was moved to ride through the magnificent nature of the sea and mountains! It was my first time horseback riding, but the horses are smart and follow instructions well if you follow the video. Even if things don't go well, the guides are there to support you.

The guides for the horseback riding provided all explanations in English. The guide who accompanied us used some Japanese terms like "hidari" (left) and "migi" (right) to communicate.

As others have mentioned, my rear started to hurt after a while.

The tour fee does not include tips. I gave a $20 tip after getting off the horse.

到着すると日本語の話せるスタッフの方がクアロアランチの施設内の説明をしてくれました。
施設内の説明後に、それぞれの体験場所に移動します。

天気も良く海と山と壮大な自然の中を乗馬できて感動しました！！！
初めて乗馬をしましたが、馬もかしこいので説明動画の通りにするときちんと指示に従います。
もしうまくいかなくてもガイドの方がサポートしてくれます。

乗馬についてくれるガイドさんは全て英語で説明を行ってくれます。

他の方が書いていた通り、途中からお尻が痛くなります。

ツアー代金にチップは含まれていません。
チップは馬を降りた後20ドル渡しました。

It was truly amazing! Riding in a large bus without glass windows or a sightseeing bus while surrounded by vast nature gave me an incredible sense of adventure as we toured filming locations. During the filming location tour, I was thrilled to enjoy the great outdoors while feeling the wind! The staff were very kind, playing movie music and providing lively explanations, which made for a fun experience throughout. My memories of the trip to Hawaii became even more special. I want to go again!

本当に最高でした！
ガラス窓のない大型バスや観光バスで走りながら、広大な自然に囲まれて、映画の撮影地を巡るアドベンチャー感がたまりませんでした。
特に撮影地ツアーでは、風を感じながら大自然を満喫できて大興奮！
スタッフの方々もとても親切で、映画の音楽をかけてくれたり、とても元気に解説をしてくれて終始楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ハワイ旅行での思い出がさらに特別なものになりました。また行きたいです！

The view from the sea was great! The staff's explanations in English were easy to understand, and they had a good vibe. On the way back to the beach, we spotted dolphins, and even though they said we had just 5 minutes left, they took the time to let us enjoy watching the dolphins until they disappeared. I was very satisfied. It was a lot of fun!

海から見る景色、良かったです♪
スタッフの方の説明（英語）も分かりやすかったですし、ノリも良かったです。
ビーチに戻る途中に、イルカを発見したのですが…あと5分で戻るよぉ〜と言いつつも、イルカが見えなくなるまで時間を使ってくれ、大変満足しました。
楽しかったです。

I signed up for a 2-hour horseback riding course. Since I am not Japanese, the explanations were primarily in English, but they provided important parts in simple Japanese. Contrary to what I thought, the actual riding time was not short; after a brief video explanation, we set off immediately and were able to ride for almost the full 2 hours, enjoying the stunning views of both the sea and the mountains.

There was an explanation on how to use the reins, but the horse was well-trained and did not act up or stray from the course. Only a waist pouch type for carrying belongings is allowed (there are rentals available), so I recommend participants who are just experiencing horseback riding to come almost empty-handed. (Bags cannot be brought along and need to be placed in a $5 locker.)

Items like GoPro cameras cannot be hung around the neck. However, if you can attach them to your helmet or wear them on your arm, it might be possible to record videos. Photography was allowed at any time during the ride, as long as you did not stare at the screen.

2時間の乗馬コースを申し込みました．
日本人ではありませんので基本的には英語での説明でしたが，重要な部分は簡単な日本語で説明してくれました．
実際に乗っている時間は短いのかとおもいきや，簡単なビデオでの説明後すぐに出発，ほぼ2時間乗りっぱなしで海・山ともに最高の景色をみることができました．
手綱の使い方の説明がありますが馬のほうが慣れており，暴れたりコースを外れることはありませんでした．
荷物の持ち込みが腰に巻くタイプのポシェットのみ可（貸し出しもあります）ので乗馬のみ体験の方はほぼ手ぶらでの参加をおすすめします．（バックなどは持ち込めず5ドルのロッカーにいれる必要あり）
goproなども首に下げるかたちでは不可です．ヘルメットに装着したり腕につけられたら動画も可能かと思います．
写真撮影は画面を凝視しないという条件で乗馬中いつでも可能でした．

I was seated towards the front, and the stage was integrated with the audience, which made it enjoyable from start to finish. The costumes and stage design were also impressive, and I definitely want to see it again...

前のほうに座っていましたが、舞台が客席と一体化していて、最初から最後まで楽しめました。衣装や舞台構造も格好良く、とにかくもう一度観たい、、、

The care, attention, quality, cleanliness, and authenticity made for an unbelievable experience. My family and I left very happy and ready to recommend to everyone. You get what you pay for.

I was able to watch an impressive show from the front row, and it was moving. The venue isn't very large, so the sense of immersion was incredible.

最前列の席で、迫力のあるショーを観ることが出来、感動した。会場がそこまで広くはないので、臨場感がすごかった。

Early wake up call but it is so worth it as the early morning views from the top of the hike felt warm and cozy.

Expensive but for the length of the lines and the length of the tour, it is well worth every penny!

Family had so much fun, the guides bring so much laughter as well as knowledge of the valley!

The north shore is breathtaking, i wish i could be there every day

It was a good day, but there is a LOT going on. You could probably break it up into 2 days as the pass lets you come back for the day-time events.

We went with this tour as not many stop inside the Valley! We really wanted this, so tying the tour togehter was a good way!

So much knowledge, this is everything I wanted to know while getting to see spots outside of hotel areas

Easy in easy out, just be aware of rocks if you have weak ankles. The fall was flowing on the day we had planned so all was well!

I had an experience that matched the description! The staff could speak a little Japanese, so communication was possible.

内容通りの体験ができました！スタッフの方々も日本語が少しできたので、コミュニケーションもとれました。

It was very good.
There were many reviews about the food that weren't great, but in reality, that wasn't the case, and the menu was very satisfying!!

とても良かったです。
ご飯のレビューはあんまりなものが多かったですが、実際にはそんなことはなく、とても満足のいくメニューでした！！

Don’t mistake their wry humour for un professionalism. Saw them take another’s concerns with slightly damaged gear seriously. Would’ve liked a more guided experience on the water where to best see stuff but for the cost, I can’t blame em. A dolphin pod swam up to the boat on the way back and they stopped to let us experience it.

My parents in their 70s and my elementary school-aged child all enjoyed it. I was worried about the shaking, but it was fine, and I think the timing was just right.

70代の父母、小学生高学年のこども、皆楽しめました。心配していた揺れも大丈夫で、時間もちょうどよかったと思います。
