All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

It's recommended as a kind of activity since you can enjoy sightseeing while feeling the wind. If you only consider transportation, the bus is cheaper, has more routes, and longer operating hours.

風を感じながら観光できるので、一種のアクティビティとしてはオススメ
移動手段だけで考えるとthe busの方が値段も安く、路線も多く、営業時間も長いです

The guide was wonderful, and it was a fun 90 minutes. We started with explanations about nature and history, and I learned a lot about the views of the sea. Along the way, we enjoyed some ups and downs in the vehicle, and we also walked a bit to see some beautiful scenery, which made for a fulfilling experience.

Since the course started at 10 AM and the meeting time to return was at 1 PM, I had lunch, bought some souvenirs, and before I knew it, the time flew by. I'm glad I scheduled it for a time when I could still be active in the afternoon.

ガイドの方がとても素晴らしく楽しい90分でした。自然や、時代の説明から始まり、海に見える内容だとかも詳しく教えてもらえました。途中車でアップダウンわー楽しませてもらったり、少し歩いて景色の良い所に案内してもらったりと充実でした。
10時からのコースで、13時に帰路のための集合時間でしたので、持っていったランチして、お土産みたり、ぼーっとしていてらあっという間でした。
午後からも動ける時間帯にしたので良かったです。

I was able to see the stunning views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above in the best weather!! I definitely want to go again!!

ワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドの絶景を上空から最高の天気の中で観れました!! また絶対に行きたいな!!

We purchased tickets for the show only but walked past the all-you-can-eat buffet and I must say, it looked very good.
The show was very entertaining and well worth the money. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Fantastic firework show .The crew was amazing. Great music .took my mom for her 85th birthday and she had the time of her life. The drinks kept coming.The fireworks show was fantastic.Everyone was pleasant.Would definitely do this excursion again!
I Recommend highly.

We love it! My husband and I get to much fun, amazing music and excellent staff.

The buggy only reaches a speed of up to 20 kilometers, so even women won't have trouble driving it. It can accommodate up to 2 people per vehicle. Although it can hold up to 6 people, it's cramped, so 4 people would be comfortable. If you have more than 5 participants, I recommend making reservations for 2 groups.

While driving, the sand dust is intense, so your clothes will get covered in sand, and your face will be blackened! The scenery is magnificent and wonderful, and you can see the ocean as well.

The driving time is just under 2 hours, with stops at 4 to 5 recommended spots along the way, where you can switch drivers. It seems to be a super popular tour, but I was able to make a reservation just 4 days in advance.

バギーは20キロまでしか速度は出ないので女性でも運転に困ることはないです、運転できるのは１台で2名まででした。
６名まで乗車可能ですが狭いので４人が快適です、５人以上で参加される場合は２グループ分の予約をオススメします。
走行中は砂埃が凄いので服が砂だらけになります、顔も真っ黒に！
肝心の景色は壮大で素晴らしく海も見えます
運転時間は２時間弱で途中オススメスポットに4〜5箇所停車します、そのタイミングで運転手交代可能です。
超人気ツアーの様ですが4日前でも予約できました。

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a “must have adventure” that we would highly recommend from couples to families. We spent a day and enjoyed every second of it. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and kept it quiet but loved the experience of the Tahitian wedding ceremony where we renewed our promise. The food experience was outstanding, we tried a lot of food that we never tried before. The raw tuna was our favourite. 1 day was not enough to have the time to have some art workshop to do and sadly we couldn’t go back to have an Okulele session.
Thank you for the experience of our lifetime. Tia and Zoltan from Ireland

The tour guide was kind, and even though I forgot my insect repellent spray, they lent me one. The path wasn't as muddy as I thought, so my shoes didn't get too dirty. We were also blessed with good weather. The lunch at Tantalus Lookout, along with the scenery and breeze, was perfect.

ツアーガイドさんも親切、虫よけスプレー忘れていきましたが、貸してくれました。思ったほど道はぬかるみなどなく、そこまで靴も汚れませんでした。お天気にも恵まれました。タンタラスの丘での昼食、景色　風、申し分なかったです。

I went on the first day of our arrival in Hawaii with my mom! It was so much fun! I'm glad we went on the first day, feeling like "We made it to Hawaii!"

お母さんと2人でハワイ到着日に行きました！
楽しかったー！ハワイきました！って感じで初日に行って良かったです！

We booked a dream horseback riding experience for the family in Hawaii. The reservation process was easy and went smoothly, but getting there was quite a challenge! It took too long to rent a car in Waikiki, and just when we thought we were cutting it close, we followed the directions and found a closed gate along the way. Just when we were worried we couldn't get in, a kind local informed us that we needed to enter a code, and after a bit of confusion, we managed to resolve it with a phone call. The mountain roads were quite tricky, with many narrow spots.

Although the journey was tough, once we arrived, the friendly staff and the horseback riding while enjoying the breathtaking views made it an incredible experience. The 1.5-hour tour ended up being just over an hour, but since we were riding on rocky paths the whole time, my backside was a bit sore, which was probably just right.

After the ride, we even got to feed the adorable horses. The tour moves at a leisurely pace, so there are plenty of opportunities to take photos along the way.

ハワイでの憧れの乗馬体験を家族で予約。予約方法は簡単で問題なかったけど、現地までの道のりが大変！レンタカーをワイキキで借りるのに時間がかかりすぎてギリギリだってのに加えて近くまでルート案内通り進んで行くと、途中ゲートが閉まっていて開かない。入れないかと思ってるところに親切な近隣の方が番号入力が必要なことを教えてくれて挑戦するも解らず電話をかけて何とか解決。なかなかの山道で離合は厳しいところが多かった。(^_^;)
道のりは大変だったが現地に着くとフレンドリーなスタッフの対応、絶景を眺めながらの乗馬は気持ちよく最高な体験になりました。1.5時間のツアーが1時間ちょいで終了したけど、岩道をずっと乗ってたのでお尻が痛くてちょうど良かったかな。(о´∀`о)
乗馬終了後は可愛いお馬さんに餌やり体験までさせてくれた。ゆっくり進むツアーなので途中に写真もたくさん撮れます。

The opportunity to drive your own ATV vehicle was the best. The tour guides we had were so knowledgeable about the history of the ranch and gave us plenty of time for photo opportunities on this beautiful ranch. If we are ever in Hawaii again, we will DEFINITELY do this tour a second time!

My butt got sore, but the horse was very obedient, so I was extremely satisfied. If I have the chance again, I would like to try riding a four-wheeler next time.

お尻が痛くなりましたが馬も素直に言うことを聞いてくれたので非常に満足です
また機会があれば今度は四輪バギーに乗ってみたいな

It was a bit cramped, but there wasn't any shaking, and there were lots of cute fish at the artificial reef, making for a very meaningful time. However, I probably wouldn't go on it a second time. The boat to the submarine was nice too! I definitely recommend it.

ちょっと狭いけど特に揺れたりすることもなく人工魚礁に可愛い魚が一杯でとても有意義な時間でした。
でも二回乗ることはないかな
潜水艦までの船も良かったね～
けっこうお勧めてすよ

First, we crossed the fish farming pond in a small boat and visited several locations used as filming sites for movies.

After that, we made our way to the sandy beach and switched to a glass-bottom boat to head out to sea. You can see the majestic mountains, including Kualoa Ranch, from the water! The view was breathtaking, just like the pictures on postcards! We also got close to Chinaman's Hat, which was clearly visible. The color of the sea changed beautifully between the shallow and deep areas.

We stopped for a bit offshore, and our guide helped us look for sea turtles. This time, we spotted sea turtles surfacing for air four times, and one of them was huge and very close to the boat.

When the turtles were hard to find, our guide cheerfully suggested looking over there or pointed out an island that looked like a turtle. They were very engaging and even took photos for us, showing great hospitality!

One thing to note is that when switching to the boat heading out to sea, it stops on the sandy beach without a dock, so you need to time your boarding with the waves; otherwise, your shoes might get wet. I wore sneakers and managed to get on and off at the right time, but since we walked on the beach, I wouldn't recommend wearing shoes you don't want to get dirty.

まずは養殖池を小さな船で渡り、映画のロケ地で使われた場所をいくつか見学しました。

その後砂浜に渡り、グラスボートに乗り換えて、沖の方へ船で向かいました。
クアロアランチをはじめとする雄大な山々を海から見れます！ポストカードにある写真のような絶景でした！
チャイナマンズハットも近くまでいくのでよく見えます。
海の色も浅いところと深いところで変わってきれいでした。

沖の方で少しとまって、ガイドさんが海亀を探してくれます。
今回は息継ぎをする海亀が4回見れて、そのうちの1匹は船の間近で、すごく大きかったです。

ガイドさんも亀が見当たらないときは、あっちを見てた方がいいよ！や、あそこに亀の形に見える島があるよ〜など楽しくおしゃべりしてくれました。
写真を撮ってくれたりなど、サービス精神旺盛でした！

注意点としては、沖に出る船に乗り換える際に砂浜に船がとまっているので桟橋などなく、波が引いたタイミングに乗り込まないと靴が濡れます。
私はスニーカーで行きましたが、タイミングよく乗り降りできたので大丈夫でしたが、砂浜を歩いたりするので汚したくない靴などで行くのはおすすめしません。

I had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, the filming location of the movie "Jurassic Park." With majestic mountains and beautiful coastlines, it's a fantastic place for movie fans and nature lovers alike. Riding in the vast wilderness felt extraordinary, and the stunning views of the ocean and mountains were very impressive. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided clear guidance for beginners, making it easy to enjoy. I was concerned about the heat, but a pleasant breeze made it comfortable. It was truly a satisfying tour. While there were reviews mentioning discomfort in the saddle, I found it to be perfectly fine.

映画『ジュラシックパーク』のロケ地であるクアロアランチの敷地内で乗馬体験でした。雄大な山々や美しい海岸線、巡る特別な体験で、映画ファンや自然好きにとって最高の場所です。広大な大自然の中での乗馬は非日常感があり、目の前に広がる海の美しい景色や山々がとても印象的でした。インストラクターは知識豊富で、初心者にもわかりやすく指導してくれるので安心して楽しめます。暑さが気になるかと思いきや、心地よい風が吹いており快適でした。まさに大満足のツアーです。お尻が痛くなったとの口コミもありましたが、全然大丈夫でした。

The scenery was very beautiful, and I felt relaxed from start to finish. The instructor got off the buggy and explained the area thoroughly, but since everything was in English, I had some trouble understanding. However, they were very kind, taking lots of photos and chatting with us.

Even though the buggy couldn't go very fast, it was thrilling and quite bumpy! There was a part where we drove into what seemed like a pond, which was really exciting at the end! A lot of dust gets in your eyes, so it's better to wear goggles or glasses. Your clothes will also get quite dirty from the dust!

景色がとても綺麗で最初から最後まで癒されました。
インストラクターの方がバギーを降りてから、その場所の説明をしっかりとしてますが全て英語なので英語が苦手な私は話がわからないところがありました。でも、写真をたくさん撮ってくれたり、話しかけてくれたり、とても優しかったです。
バギー自体は速度をそんなに出せなくてもスリル満点で、結構揺れます！池？のようなところに突っ込む箇所があって、最後盛り上がります！
かなり目に砂埃が入るので、ゴーグルや眼鏡をかけた方が良いです。服もかなり砂埃で汚れます！

I used Uber to get to the meeting place, but I ended up at a different port. I couldn't get through on the phone and thought it was hopeless, but I really wanted to go parasailing, so I went to the meeting place with a glimmer of hope. In the end, I was able to reschedule, and I am very grateful! The staff were very kind and it was a lot of fun, making for great memories.

If you're driving, be aware that there are several spots (ports) for parasailing, and in the morning, traffic can double the travel time, so caution is needed. I recommend doing it as you can enjoy a panoramic view of Hawaii.

集合場所までUberを使用したところ違う港に着いてしまい、電話も繋がらずもう駄目だろうなと思いながらもどうしてもパラセーリングしたかったので僅かな希望をもち集合場所に行きました。
結果リスケして貰えることになり、とても感謝しています！泣
スタッフの方もとても優しくとても楽しく、いい思い出になりました。
車で行く場合はパラセーリングといったスポット(港)が数箇所あるのと、朝は渋滞で倍以上時間がかかるので注意が必要です。
ハワイを一望出来るのでやることをお勧めします。

It's a submarine journey that you can't experience anywhere else in Japan. I was able to capture a photo of a sea turtle. I was very lucky.

日本国内では体験のできない潜水艦の旅です。
ウミガメの姿が写真に収めることができました。
とてもラッキーでした。

What a thrilling day, my 11 year old was buzzing by the end!

They build a wonderful line course, getting you through the beautiful ranch!

It was a really great ground, but you will be tired after exploring PCC.

A great way to tour the ranch slowly and take in all the sights and scents of local Hawaiian land.

A wonderful amount of diverse stops that give you a great intro to Hawaii!

The kids had a lot of fun, we think we would skip next but its worth it one time!

We reallly loved ths, as we are not great at snorkeling, it made it easy to swim a long time and there is a great amount of marine life!

I made a reservation and payment for two people for parasailing on the first day of our three-day trip, arriving at 13:30.

After arriving, I changed into my swimsuit and sent my suitcase off, keeping only the essentials. However, I received an SMS at 11:20, ten minutes before the airport shuttle bus was scheduled to depart, informing me that all activities for the day were canceled due to strong winds.

After that, I had the option to either rebook or cancel for a refund, and I chose to rebook. I couldn't choose for the second day, but I successfully rebooked for the third day at 9:30. Since it wasn't due to my own circumstances, there was no change fee.

On the day of the activity, the original meeting time was 9:00, but due to a change in plans, I arrived an hour early at 8:00 by rental car. I changed and prepared at a nearby free parking lot. Although I arrived early, I was able to check in after consulting with the staff. I also confirmed the location of the free parking lot to ensure there were no issues.

We regrouped at 9:10, and by 9:20, our group of three, along with two other groups, boarded and set off. There is space to store luggage at your feet.

Once we were out at sea, parasailing began. You can take selfies and videos, but if it's your first time, you'll be battling fear while trying to operate your smartphone in a waterproof case under direct sunlight, so getting good photos and videos may depend on luck.

The staff also offers a service to take photos with a professional camera for $40, which I think is worth considering.

I won't spoil the details of the flight, but it was a very enjoyable and great experience.

As for tips, we gave $20 after returning to the port, retrieving our wallet from the trunk of the car. I’m not sure about the other two groups regarding their tips.

In conclusion, it became one of my best memories. I highly recommend giving it a try at least once!

事前に現地稼働可能な3日うち現地到着初日13:30で2名予約&決済。

現地着後にパラセイリング参加のため水着への着替えと最低限荷物保持しスーツケース発送完了し空港連絡バス発車10分前の11:20に強風で同日全てキャンセルのSMSを受信。

その後は再予約をするかキャンセル返金するかを選べる状況になり再予約を実施。2日目は選べず3日目9:30で再予約実施。自己都合では無いので変更手数料は0円でした。

当日は本来なら30分前9:00集合でしたが、予定を組み直した結果レンタカーで現地に行く事になり予定より1時間早い8:00に到着し付近の無料駐車場にて着替えなど準備実施。集合より早いが相談してチェックインもできました。無料駐車場の場所も念のため確認してもらい問題ない事も確認できました。

9:10再集合になり、9:20には他2組と自分達3組が搭乗して出港。荷物は足下に収納するスペースあります。

沖に出てパラセイリング開始となります。
自撮りで写真や動画も撮影可能ですが初めてだと上空で恐怖心と戦いながら防水ケースに入ったスマホを直射日光下で操作することになるので良い写真動画が撮れるかは運次第になると思います。

スタッフが船から40ドルで一眼カメラで写真撮影するサービスもあるので検討すると良いかと思います。

フライト内容はネタバレになるので書きませんが、とても楽しく良い経験になります。

チップは自分たちは2人で20ドルを帰港後に車のトランクにしまっておいた財布を取りに行ってから渡しました。他2組はチップ有無は不明でした。

結論、最高の思い出の一つになりました。一度はチャレンジしてみてはいかがでしょうか。おすすめします。

I used this for my honeymoon. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I made a reservation here in advance. There were many foreigners around, and I was initially anxious about my English, but I managed even without speaking much.

After the buffet, there was a hula dance lesson that interested participants could join.

I really enjoyed the show, but I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I could understand English better. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were quite a few empty seats, but I think it's a great deal to enjoy a buffet and a show at this price!

初めてのハワイということもあり、事前に予約ができるこちらを予約しました。
周りは外国人の方が多く、もともと英語に不安がありましたが話せなくてもなんとかなります。
ビュッフェのあとには、フラダンスのレッスンがあり希望者は参加ができます。

ショーはとても楽しめましたが、英語が理解できたらより楽しめたのかなぁと思いました。
平日だったからなのか、空席が結構ありましたが、このお値段でビュッフェ、ショーが観れるのはお得だと思います！

We used this service for our honeymoon trip. The staff was very friendly and took a lot of photos for us. It was also reassuring that they spoke Japanese, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry.

In the first half, we enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and floating on inflatable rings, and in the second half, we went snorkeling. During snorkeling, there were instructions to avoid touching the coral, but while swimming, my feet accidentally brushed against it, causing some scrapes. If you have marine shoes, it might be a good idea to bring them.

Depending on the season, I think it's a popular tour, so I recommend making a reservation more than a month in advance!

スタッフの方はとてもフレンドリーで、たくさん写真を撮ってくださいます。
また日本語OKなので安心して楽しめました。

前半はサップや浮き輪などアクティビティを楽しみ、後半はシュノーケルでした。
シュノーケル中は珊瑚に触れないようにと案内がありますが、泳ぐうちに足が触れてしまい擦り傷ができてしまいました。
マリンシューズをお持ちの方は持参されたほうがいいかもしれません。

時期にもよると思いますが、人気のツアーなので1ヶ月以上前に予約することをオススメします！

It became my best memory in Hawaii!!! It's a thrilling and the best activity. The flight time was just right, and both crew members were amazing. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

ハワイで1番の思い出になりました！！！スリル満点でベストアクティビティです。滞空時間なども丁度良く、クルーのお二人も皆最高です。素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。
