All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

It was more fun than I expected because we could go fast. However, since everyone runs at the same time, it might be frustrating if the person in front is slow (the person in front of me was my wife, haha). So depending on the group combination, it could become boring.

Since it was in the North, we went by rental car, and we arrived earlier than expected. When I asked to change the start time, they kindly accommodated my request, probably because they had availability.

思った以上にはスピードが出せて楽しかったです。ただ基本全員同時に走るので前の人遅いとイライラするかも（私の前の人は妻でした（笑））。なのでグループの組み合わせ次第ではつまらなくなるかも？
ノースなのでレンタカーで行きましたが、思ったより早く着いたので現地で開始時間の変更をお願いしたら、空いていたからだと思いますが快く変更してくれました。

I went expecting a Japanese magician, but it was a different magician. Still, it was fun. However, I think you can't really enjoy it if you don't understand any English.

日本人のマジシャンを期待して行ったけど違うマジシャンでした。それでも楽しかったです。ただ全く英語が分からないと楽しめないなとは思います。

I had a great experience!

However, the meeting point was a bit difficult to find, and I almost arrived right at the meeting time, but they were very kind and accommodating.

楽しい経験ができました！

ただ、集合場所が少し分かりにくく、集合時間ギリギリになってしまいましたが、優しく対応してくれました。

I had wanted to try ziplining for a long time, and since I was going to do it, I thought it would be best to choose a place with a great view, so I signed up here. I'm really glad I did. The scenery was beautiful, and I was very satisfied after doing seven lines. Just before starting, they asked questions like, "What's your favorite food?" which I think was probably to distract those who might be scared. I felt a bit nervous on the first line, but after that, I got used to it and wasn't scared at all. I was able to film videos with my smartphone securely strapped to my arm. Thank you to all the staff; I had a great time!

ずっと前からジップラインをやってみたくて、どうせやるなら景色が良いところでと思いこちらを申し込みました。本当にやってよかった。景色は良いし、7本もやって大満足です。スタートする直前に「好きな食べ物は何？」など質問してくれるのですがたぶん怖い人向けにそんな質問をしてくれて怖さを紛らわせてくれてるんだと思いました。でも1本目だけドキドキしたけどあとは全然慣れて怖くなかったです。スマホはストラップを腕にきっちりつけて動画撮影ができました。スタッフに皆さんありがとうございました、楽しかったです！

I thought I could walk on the sand but I didn’t know this boat was not able to go closer. The water was so high and I couldn’t even stand.
But I enjoyed entertainment on the boat.

I participated in a 2-hour horseback riding tour this time, and it was absolutely amazing! If you go to Hawaii, you definitely have to do it! Horseback riding is the best!!

今回2時間の乗馬体験のツアーに参加しましたがとにかく最高でした！ハワイへ行ったら絶対やるべき！乗馬最高！！

The tour was excellent! Very memorable. Enjoyed all of it!

It is possible to make reservations directly through the official website, but I was unable to make a payment with a Japanese credit card that does not have a Zipcode, so I purchased the tickets through VELTRA. (The price was the same as on the official site.)

There is a Japanese guide on site who explains the history and overview of the battleship.

I reserved this and the USS Arizona for a visit, but I also wanted to check out the aviation museum. I recommend taking your time to explore Pearl Harbor.

公式サイトで直接予約も可能な施設ですが、Zipcodeのない日本のクレジットカードでの決済ができなかったので、VELTRAを通じてチケット購入しました。（値段は公式サイトと同じでした）

日本語ガイドさんが常駐しており戦艦の歴史と概要について説明してくれます。

こちらとUSアリゾナを予約して見学しましたが、航空博物館も見て回りたかったです。
パールハーバーはゆっくり時間をかけて見学されることをおすすめします。

We had a great time on the sunset cruise. It was really easy and relaxing. And what a sunset!

We participated as a couple, and with one more person, we formed a small group of three, all of whom had experience with Segways, so we quickly got to practice and then hit the streets. Our guide was very good at Japanese (I initially thought he was Japanese) and was interesting to talk to, making him a great person. Riding along the coast with the refreshing breeze was the best. The two hours flew by. At the end, my husband accidentally fell due to a sudden brake, but since he had never fallen off a Segway before, it was a good experience to have. Thank you for the band-aid. I definitely want to ride again the next time I go to Hawaii!

夫婦2人で参加。あともう1人の参加で3人の少人数グループ、そして3人ともセグウェイ経験者だったので、練習はサクッとですぐに街に出られました。ガイドさんは日本語が上手で（最初日本人かと思った）話も面白くて良い人でした。爽やかな風を受けながら海沿いを疾走するのは最高でした。2時間あっという間。最後に夫が急ブレーキでうっかり転んでしまいましたが、今までセグウェイで転んだ事がなかったのでこういう事もあるという良い経験になりました。絆創膏をありがとうございました。また次にハワイに行ったら絶対乗りたい！

A 2-hour drive. The road is intentionally bumpy, making for a very adventurous experience. There are breaks at three photo spots, and at each stop, the guiding staff shares stories about the surrounding mountains and islands. I was advised not to touch the gear, and even as a paper driver, I found it easy to drive. By the end, I was covered in sand from head to toe, including my hair and mouth. It was a lot of fun.

2時間のドライブ。わざと道を凸凹にしてあり、すごく揺れてアドベンチャー気分を味わえた。3箇所の撮影スポットで休憩があり、その都度、先導スタッフが周辺の山や島にまつわる話しをしてくれます。ギアは触らないよう注意され、ペーパードライバーの私でも簡単に運転できます。終わったら、全身、髪も口の中も砂まみれ。楽しかったです。

The chubby Elvis sang passionately, and every time he threw a scarf that he wiped his sweat with into the audience, cheers erupted, making him more popular than Michael. Michael, like the original, had undergone plastic surgery. His singing and dancing were inferior, but it was still pretty good. The food was a buffet, and I think the taste was good, plus you could have seconds. Each family had a commemorative photo taken, and I was told that if I bought it, I would receive signatures from Elvis and Michael after the show, so I purchased it. I also got to take separate photos with Elvis and Michael, which made for a memorable and fun experience.

ポッチャリのエルビスが熱唱し、汗を拭いたスカーフを次々と観客へ投げる度歓声が上がり、マイケルより人気がありました。マイケルは本家同様整形。歌と踊りは劣るけどまあ、良かったかな。食事はビュッフェのでお代わりも出来るし味も良かったと思います。家族ごとに記念写真を撮られ、買えばショーの後にエルビスとマイケルのサインが貰えると言われ買いました。エルビスとマイケルと別々に一緒に写真も撮らせて貰い思い出に残る楽しかったです。

We participated as a three-generation family, from elementary school students to those in their 70s. My mother, who is in her 70s and sensitive to sunlight with frequent bathroom needs, was concerned about not being a burden to others and considered what activities she could join. We decided to try the submarine experience.

The boat to the submarine was large and had restrooms, and as we headed out to sea, we could feel the Hawaiian sea breeze. I believe that as long as one can manage to descend the ladder to switch to the submarine, even older adults can take on this challenge. We were able to see both sharks and turtles. Even though my mother doesn’t understand much English, she said she had a great time, so I think this activity is perfect for participants of all ages.

小学生から70代の3世代で参加しました。
70代で日差しに弱くトイレが近い母親が、他のみんなに迷惑にならないで参加できるものはないかと考察して潜水艦に挑戦しました。
潜水艦に乗るまでの船は大型でトイレもあり、沖に出るのでハワイの潮風を感じることができ、沖で潜水艦に乗り換えるはしごを降りることさえできれば、年配者でも挑戦できると思います。
サメもカメも見ることができました。英語があまりわからなくても、楽しかったと言っていたので、幅広い世代で参加するにはもってこいだと思います。

It starts with a buffet. You can enjoy hula shows, ukulele performances, and hula lessons while you eat. The food was very delicious. A Mai Tai is included as well. After that, we moved to the theater. Although the seats were ordinary, we were seated about three rows from the front, in the middle, so we had a great view. I wasn't expecting much, but we got to see a wonderful show. I thought the Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators would just be look-alikes, but their singing and dancing were so amazing that I could mistake them for the real deal. I'm really glad I participated in this show. On the way back, I was able to take photos with the cast, and I was very satisfied.

最初にビュッフェから始まります。フラのショーやウクレレの弾き語り、フラレッスンなど、食べている間も楽しめます。お料理はとてもおいしかったです。マイタイ一杯もついています。その後シアターに移動します。普通の席でしたが、前から3番目の真ん中あたりに座れて、とてもよく見えました。そんなに期待していなかったのですが、素晴らしいショーが見られました。マイケルジャクソン、プレスリーは「そっくりさんでしょ」と始まる前は思っていましたが、歌やダンスも本物かと間違うほどに素晴らしく、本当にこちらのショーに参加して良かったです。帰りにはキャストの方々と写真も撮れて、大満足でした。

Kualoa Ranch is vast, and you can go horseback riding and tour the filming locations by bus, along with many other tour participants. For those who don't understand English at all, it seemed like they just let the bus driver's explanations go in one ear and out the other. Everything was explained in English. There were also many participants who were not Japanese.

The scenery was very beautiful. The buffet had very few food options, and there were flies, so my nervous child couldn't eat much.

It's best to think of it as completely different from something like Universal Studios.

クアロアランチは広大で、乗馬できロケ地をバスで回ったりたくさんのツアーの方と現地でもバスで回ります。英語がさっぱり分からない方には
バス運転手の説明も聞き流す感じの様でした。
全て英語説明でした。
日本人以外の参加者も多数おられました。

景色は非常によかったです。
ビュッフェは食べるものがすくなくハエがたかって
神経質なうちの子はあまり食べられませんでした。

ユニバーサルスタジオの様な感じでは全く違うと
思われた方が良いです。

This is our 2nd time to vacation in Oahu and visited Hanauma both times. Our 2nd trip we decided to book an organized tour because our first experience wasn't too great. This tour was absolutely incredible! Can't say enough positive things about it but here we go:

1) The guide showed up to our hotel early which is so refreshing
2) He was super knowledgeable, kind and enjoyable to be around
3) Before the snorkeling tour, he was amazing with sharing information about how to do it and what to expect
4) They had the nicest and softest mask and fins equipment I've ever received on a snorkeling tour
5) The hour long tour was amazing and we saw tons of fish and even a turtle
6) He provided snacks and water afterwards
7) He patiently got us back to our hotel and just truly blew us away.

Very highly recommended!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Waimea Valley Luau!
The pre activities were so fun; my son (23 years old) participated in the coconut opening and the palm head cover. He totally embraced the moment.
The area was beautiful! We did the falls and the gardens first.
The drinks were quite festive, and the food was awesome.
The “show” was engaging; I loved the music and dance. And, the fire was very impressive!
I would highly recommend this experience!

They will pick you up at the hotel, so as long as you can wake up early, you can feel at ease. At Kualoa Ranch, in addition to the expedition tour, you can enjoy various activities such as horseback riding and tours of movie filming locations. The expedition tour offers wonderful views from the car window, but if you walk a little, you will find breathtaking scenery. The lunch was also delicious, and it was a very satisfying tour.

ホテルでピックアップしてくれるので、朝早くても起きられさえすれば安心。クアロラ・ランチではエクスペディションツアー以外にも、乗馬や、映画の撮影スポットを周るツアーなど、様々なアクティビティーが楽しめます。エクスペディションツアーは車窓からの景色も素晴らしいですが、少し歩くと、そこには絶景が。ランチもおいしく、大満足のツアーでした。

The probability of sandbars appearing due to rising sea levels and typhoon effects was very low. The water level was up to our waists.
Some people were able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling, which was a lot of fun.
The hamburgers for lunch were excellent.

海水位上昇と台風の影響でサンドバーが出る確率とても低いとの事でした。私たちは腰ぐらいまで水位がありました。
シュノーケルは海亀と泳げた人もいてとても楽しかったです。
お昼のハンバーガーは最高でした。

I was a little late, but it was helpful that the boat hadn't left yet.
It was the last flight in the evening, but it took a long time to get through the city traffic. Please be careful.
The flight was a lot of fun, but you will be dropped into the sea once before landing, so make sure to wear a swimsuit.

時間に少し遅れてしまいましたがボートが出る前だったので助かりました。
夕方最後のフライトでしたが市内の渋滞で移動にとても時間がかかりました。ご注意下さい。
フライトはとても楽しかったですが着地前に海に一回落とされますので水着必着です。

The snorkeling in the early morning had high water clarity and was very good. A seal also appeared and was very cute. By the time we were leaving, the sand was stirred up and it was a bit murky, so it was great to go in the morning.

Snorkeling equipment was included in the rental, but there was a mishap where the driver forgot to hand it to us. The entrance fee is paid collectively by the representative, so only cash is accepted. Please be aware of this.

朝一番でのシュノーケルで水の透明度が高くとても良かったです。アザラシも現れてとても可愛いかったです。
帰るころには砂が舞って少し濁っていたので朝一にしてとても良かったです。
シュノーケル等レンタルがついていましたが運転手さんが私達に渡し忘れるハプニングもありました。
入場料はまとめて代表者が払うので現金のみしかダメでした。ご注意下さい。

I left my hotel near Waikiki at 6:30 AM to meet at the location by 8:30 AM. I thought the shuttle service was a bit expensive, so I took an Uber taxi instead (it cost about 8,000 yen one way).

I arrived at the location in about an hour. It was mentioned that there would be a restroom, but there was no toilet paper and it was extremely dirty, so please keep that in mind when using the facilities. (laughs)

There were a total of 12 members in our group. Before boarding the boat, we had to take off our shoes. Since all shoes can be placed together in a basket, I recommend wearing sandals or something that you don’t mind getting dirty.

After reading reviews from others, I took motion sickness medication before going. After about 15 minutes on the boat, I got seasick. If you are prone to motion sickness, be prepared.

When we reached the area where sharks are spotted, we were divided into two groups: the first half and the second half entered the water. By the way, there was no one among the staff or participants who spoke Japanese. (laughs)

The captain explained the safety instructions in English. He asked if I was from Japan and then handed me a written explanation in Japanese. I can’t speak any English, but surprisingly, I managed just fine. (laughs)

They provide snorkeling gear for free. However, some people brought their own. Since the snorkeling gear is shared, if you’re uncomfortable with that, it’s better to bring your own.

The tour was more fun than I expected, with plenty of sharks around. The time flew by. If it weren’t for the seasickness, I would want to participate again and again. However, since the seasickness was quite severe, I rated it one star lower than the maximum. I returned by bus (it cost about 1,000 yen for two people).

8時半に現地集合のため、朝の6時半にワイキキ付近の宿泊ホテルを出ました。送迎してもらうプランが料金が少し高いと思ったので、Uberタクシーで自力で行きました。(行きのみで約8000円ほどでした)

1時間ほどで現地に到着。現地にトイレがあると書いてありましたが、トイレットペーパーがなくてトイレも壊滅的に汚い為、それを頭に入れてトイレを使ってください。(笑)

メンバーは全員で12人でした。船に乗る前に履物を脱ぎます。籠に全員分まとめて入れられるので、汚れてもいいようなサンダル等を履いてきたほうがいいと思います。

他の方の口コミを読んで、酔い止めを飲んでいきました。船に揺られて15分ほど、見事に酔いました。船酔いしやすい方は覚悟していってください。
サメの出没するポイントにつくと2つのグループに分けられました。前半組と後半組で海に入りました。
ちなみに日本語をしゃべれる人はスタッフと参加者で誰もいませんでした。(笑)

キャプテンが注意事項等、英語で説明してくれます。ジャパン？と聞かれ、その後日本語で書いてある説明書を渡してくれました。まったく英語を喋れませんが、意外と何とかなります。(笑)

シュノーケリングは無料で貸してくれます。ですが、自分で持ってきてる人もいました。使い回しのシュノーケリングなので、嫌な方は自分で持ってきたほうがいいです。

ツアー自体は思った以上にサメがうようよいてとても楽しかったです。
あっという間の時間でした。
船酔いがなければ何度でも参加したいです。
でも船酔いが相当きつかったので、星は最高点より1つマイナスにしました。
帰りはバスで帰りました。(2人で約1000円くらい)

It's reassuring that there's an explanation in Japanese.
The view from the sandbar, which is inaccessible to individuals, is amazing.
It's a mysterious place that feels like being in the ocean but on land (coral).
The barbecue hamburgers were delicious.
We were lucky to encounter manta rays and turtles.
While snorkeling around the coral, we enjoyed schools of fish and a real aquarium experience!

日本語で説明があるから安心です。
個人では行けないサンドバーからの景色が最高です。
海の中にいるのに陸（珊瑚）のような・・不思議な場所です。
バーベキューのハンバーガーが美味しかったです。
運良くマンタとカメにも遭遇できました。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングでは魚の群れとリアル水族館が楽しめました！

Last year, I participated in a snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay. It was my first time wearing a wetsuit, which was quite challenging, and the waves were high that day, so it wasn't the underwater experience I had hoped for. This time, I was able to snorkel while wearing a life jacket, and the staff's attentiveness was excellent, allowing me to enjoy myself to the fullest. I was also able to encounter sea turtles, which made me very satisfied. I definitely want to participate again next year. Thank you very much.

昨年ハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。ウエットスーツの着用があり初めてでしたので大変でしたし、その日は波も高く期待していた海の中ではありませんでした。今回はライフジャケットの装着でシュノーケリングが出来、スタッフの方々の気配りが大変良く 、思う存分楽しめました。ウミガメにも遭遇出来大変満足しました。来年も是非参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

It was a fun experience to see a rainbow early in the morning. You can also visit the movie filming location in the back that can only be accessed by buggy.

朝イチで、虹も見れて楽しい体験でした。
　バギーでしか行けない奥の映画ロケ地のスポットにもいけます

Our guides, Maddi and Chachi made an awesome day fun and informative. Not just a movie set adventure but driving the URaptor though native Hawaii country side and up mountain/Valley rangers was oh so fun

I participated with my 9-year-old child. Surprisingly, the water in the morning was quite cold, and it was advised to wear a wetsuit, which we rented, and that was accurate! We also rented prescription masks, and both my child, who has poor eyesight, and I were able to enjoy watching cute fish (we even saw schools of fish!) and turtles without feeling cold.

I suddenly became scared of the ocean after not snorkeling for a while and couldn't swim at first, but the instructor, Chieko, kindly held my hand and helped me swim. Another instructor, Dan, also gave gentle advice! As a professional, he took us around to spots where we could see fish. Dan also provided various guidance in Japanese during the car transfer.

In the end, it cost quite a bit, but it was definitely worth the money! We made wonderful memories of Hawaii! Thank you very much!

9歳の子供と2人で参加しました。
意外と朝の海の水は冷たく、ウェットスーツを着たほうが良いとのアドバイスで借りましたが、これが正確でした！
度付きマスクも借りて、目の悪い子供共々、寒さを感じることなく、かわいい魚(魚の群れも観られました！)と亀を観ることができました。
私は久しぶりのシュノーケリングに、急に海が怖くなり最初は泳げなかったのですが、インストラクターのチエコさんが優しく手を引いてくれ、泳ぐことができました。
同じくインストラクターのダンも優しくアドバイス！プロならでは！で、魚が観られるスポットを廻ってくれました。
ダンはクルマの送迎でも日本語で色々と案内してくれました。
結果的にお金は大分掛かりましたが、払うだけの価値は充分ありました！
よいハワイの思い出ができました！
本当にありがとうございました！

Exploring the Kualoa Valley with ATVs is a thrilling yet resonate experience, as it gives some independence to explore this beautiful valley. We were pleasantly surprised that our tour guides not only shared the movie filming history, but also emphasized the valley's importance to the ancient Hawaiian culture and the legends associated with the sacred Kualoa mountain range. Thank you so much for sharing and preserving such a beautiful place! Shout out to Sarah for an awesome experience!

The sandbar itself is an awesome natural phenomenon, and having a top-notch crew that supports you during your visit is a great benefit! Their boat cruise out to the sandbar provides you with water and a snack, as well as offers a place out of the sun to change or use the restrooms which would otherwise be completely unavailable without them. PLUS, they provide so much equipment to snorkel, kayak, play volleyball, and swim with lifejackets that is all included in the initial price. Definitely recommend the banana boat or tube ride though, as the thrill of being pulled behind a speed boat across this paradise is beautiful and quite fun! Overall, excellent experience that allows you to enjoy a natural phenomenon I've never experienced before.

It was the best luau show I've ever seen.

The regular luau show part was good, but the Elvis and Michael sections were truly moving.

今まで見たルアウショーの中で1番でした。

通常のルアウショー部分も良かったですが
エルビスとマイケル部分は感動モノでした。
