All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I waited for about 20 minutes after the designated pickup time, but no one showed up. I asked everyone on all the buses if they were for the Segway tour, but everyone said no. I couldn't get through on the phone, so I left.

Later in the evening, I received an email from Veltra saying that the local Segway tour company reported they couldn't find us and that it would cost $50 for a reschedule. The tour company claimed that a Japanese driver got off to look for us, but there was no one who seemed to fit that description at all.

指定の場合にピックアップ時間になっても来ず、全てのバスにセグウェイツアーのバスですかと聞いて回りましたが全員NO、電話も繋がらないので20分ほど待って帰りました。
夕方頃ベルトラ様からメールがあり現地のセグウェイツアーの会社から自分達が見当たらなかったと連絡があり後日振替で50ドルかかると言われました。
ツアー側は日本人ドライバーが降りて探していたと言っていましたが、それらしき人は全くいませんでした。

The pickup was on time, and the friendly guy was great. Once we arrived, there was a crew member who spoke fluent Japanese, and I was able to understand the explanations clearly. Everyone was friendly, making it a comfortable experience.

ピックアップも時間通り愛想のいいおっちゃん。
現地着いてからも日本語ペラペラクルーが居て説明もしっかり把握出来ました。みんなフレンドリーで過ごしやすかったです

We loved this luau!!! From the start to the finish, it was well planned, fun and engaging. We loved the MC, the food, the dancing the activities, everything. We will highly recommend it!!! Thank you for the real leis and for being bold to say a prayer to Almighty God before the meal. Thank you for putting on a great show!

This is a tour I visit every time I go to Hawaii. It's enjoyable no matter how many times you see it. There are impersonation shows of Michael Jackson and Elvis, among others. Previously, dinner was served inside the venue, but since the COVID-19 pandemic, it's only a buffet outside now. It's not particularly delicious, but it's acceptable. I was a bit concerned about the aging of the Michael Jackson impersonator (laughs).

ハワイに行く度にお伺いするツアーです。
何度見ても楽しめます。
ポリネシアンからマイケルジャクソンやプレスリーのモノマネ？ショー。
お食事は以前は会場内でディナーが頂けましたが、コロナ渦から外でのバイキングのみになりました。
特別美味しい訳ではないですが、まぁ及第点ですね。
少々マイケルジャクソンの老朽化が気になりましたが（笑）

This was well worth it!! The staff is excellent from the time you check in to the 3 guides that are with you zip lining to check out if you decide to get the pictures! We were with a great group of people and that made it more fun as you can get to know everyone in your group as it takes about 3 hrs to complete and there is time between each zip line. This was the best thing we did of all the activities myself and 2 kids (ages 15 and 18) did for the 6 days we were here! Highly recommend doing this if you want to zip line. Another thing that is regally nice is if you are staying in Waikīkī you get to drive to the other side of the island and if you have a rental car you get to see other parts of the island that are not full of tourist.

Was great to see the sunken Arizona ship and even get some other historic sights around the city too!

The overall experience with this activity is good. I would put outstanding if snorkeling was better. Kayaking, canoeing and boat rides experience with nice live music is awesome. Just little lack on snorkeling in my opinion.

They send you the QR code needed and make sure they know you need it!

The submarine was really fun! The window views were a bitf oggy the day we went, but to be underwater was cool all around.

The park is a lot, I would say to get a guide as we were confused, but the show was a great ending,

faced our fears and loved the experience, the team was great at getting us comfortable in deeper ocean water.

you get muddy, so definitely prepared what you wear! really gorgeous tour views!

greenery, crystal water, and waterfalls! really wonderful views throughout!

easy to find the bus, they gave a bit of a bus tour before the park!

The fruit stand was delicious, and it was great to stop at Dole plantation!

Fun to get to see so many different sides to Kualoa Ranch, and with rides to from Waikiki it made the day a piece of cake!

Easy way to explore PH, Arizona tickets included took away our hassle to pre-reserve!

My family really enjoyed this tour, we are big movie people so to see the ranch where so many took place was awesome, and the guides are on point with their knowledge!

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we watched a show. The location is inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, making it easy to find and conveniently accessible. The buffet was organized by seating, and since there weren't too many people, we were able to eat without much waiting, even though we were among the last to be seated. We enjoyed the desserts at a leisurely pace. During the meal, we could watch hula dancing and even participate in a dance lesson, which was a lot of fun.

The show traced the history of Hawaiian music, and it really picked up around the middle with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The excitement from the audience felt very international, and even if you didn't know the songs, you could still enjoy it. There were more songs than I expected, and the dancers changed costumes multiple times, so I was engaged until the very end of the show.

I had booked this show, thinking my husband might get bored with just hula dancing, but it was a great decision since it also included rock music.

ハワイに到着した日にショーを観ました。場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターの中なので分かりやすく、アクセスも良いと思います。
ビュッフェは席ごとに案内される形式で、全体の人数そこまで多くなかったからか、受付は最後の方でしたがあまり待つこともなく食べることができました。デザートまでゆっくり堪能できました。食事の時間もフラダンスを見ることができるのと、ダンスのレッスンにも参加できてとても楽しかったです。
ショーはハワイの音楽の歴史を辿り、中盤あたりからエルビス・プレスリーとマイケル・ジャクソンで盛り上がります。周りの方の盛り上がり具合が海外！という感じで曲を知らなくても楽しめました。思っていた以上に曲数も多く、ダンサーさんたちの衣装も何度も変わるので飽きることなく最後までショーを観ることができます。
フラダンスだけでは夫が飽きてしまうかなと、ロックも楽しめるこのショーを予約しましたが大正解でした。

This is an unforgettable experience for turtle lovers! I was lucky enough to encounter about six sea turtles, both big and small (@_@). Although it was snorkeling, I never expected to get this close to them. There were also various activities to enjoy at the sandbar, and even as a beginner, I had a great time with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)＼(^^)／. On the boat, there were plenty of free soft drinks and snacks. Each person gets one, and the Spam musubi, a Hawaiian classic, was delicious. The guide was fluent in Japanese, and I was particularly impressed by the talkative half-Japanese woman (^^;). If I have the chance, I would love to participate again. I hear the morning is the best time to go.

タートル好きにはたまらない体験です！！
運が良かったのか、大小6頭くらいのウミガメと遭遇(@_@)
シュノーケリングではありますが、この近さで体験できるとは思いませんでした。
またサンドバーでも色々なアクティビティが体験でき、supは初心者でも楽しかったです＼(^^)／
ボートの上では、無料のソフトドリンクやお菓子なども充実してます。ひとり一個ですが、ハワイ定番のスパムむすびも美味しかったです。
ガイドの方も日本語堪能で、特にハーフの女性の方のトーク力にはまりました(^^;)
また機会があれば、参加したいです。
おすすめは午前中だそうです。

Every time I visit Northshore, it's always lively, but this time it was particularly vibrant. There were more Americans than Japanese, which was overwhelming. There are plenty of restrooms in the Haleiwa area, which is reassuring. I wished we could have driven to Turtle Bay... it's a bit of a regret. I found a limited edition Patagonia shirt with a Haleiwa logo and ended up buying a lot. The driver was kind, skilled at driving, and a great person. I would like to request them again. Highly recommended!

毎回、Northshoreは訪れるのですが、今回はとても活気がありました。日本人よりアメリカ人ばかりで
圧倒されました。お手洗いもハレイワエリアには
沢山あって、安心です。
タートルベイまで車で行って欲しかったのが…
ココロ残りですが。
ハレイワ限定のロゴのPatagoniaシャツがあり
爆買いしました。
ドライバーさんも優しく、運転もお上手で良い方でした。また、お願いしたいです。おススメです。

The sunset was amazing. The only downside was that it set behind the mountains of Oahu instead of the ocean. It's understandable since it's June; I'll come back in August.

サンセットも見られて最高でした。ちょっと残念だったのが、サンセットは海ではなくオアフ島の山に沈んだことです。6月だからしょうがない、また8月に来ます。

After a brief explanation, we were given helmets, goggles, and scarves to cover our noses, and then we set off. The scenery is irresistible for fans of the Jurassic Park movies. It was amazing! Riding the buggies on the mountain paths was thrilling. One thing to note is that this is the attraction where you will get the dirtiest, so be prepared for that. Did you come in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty? We drove through clouds of dust that made it hard to see in front of us. We could only laugh at how dirty we got. It became one of the memorable experiences.

汚れてもいい服装で臨みましたか、前も見にくいほどの砂埃の中をずっと走ります
笑うしかない汚れようでした
それも思い出の一つになりました

Had the best time of our lives the boat is amazing and staff was great!!!!!!!!! Seen lots of turtles and fish!!!!!!!!! Totally worth it plus you get drinks also!!!!!!!!!!

It became my best memory in Hawaii! The location is absolutely amazing! The all-you-can-drink alcohol was great, and the Mai Tai was delicious! The only juice available was canned guava. There are restrooms, so you don't have to worry about drinking a lot! If you're prone to seasickness, you should be careful! You will get wet up to your shins when getting on and off the boat! When I used Google Maps to get to the reception, it directed me to a street behind, so be cautious about that.

ハワイで一番の思い出になりました！すごく最高なロケーションです！
アルコール飲み放題で、マイタイが美味しかったです！ジュースは缶のグァバしかなかったです。トイレあるのでたくさん飲んでも心配はないです！
船酔いしやすい方は気をつけたほうがいいです！
乗り降りで膝下までぬれます！
受付までGoogleナビで行ったら、1本裏を案内されたので気をつけてください。

Worst part was getting up for a 5:50am shuttle pick-up. But it was well worth it. Our shuttle was full and there were more instructions at the top of the Bay, where gear rental was distributed and we were placed into manageable groups for the ticket office. But the organizers knew what they were doing, kept track of everyone, despite confusing looks on some of our faces (mine!). Plenty of room at the beach; clean basic facilities. Information booth was staffed by very knowledgeable and helpful guides. I noticed a long line at the locker & gear rental. In the past 10 years of 4 snorkeling trips (I'm obviously not avid), Hanauma Bay comes in 3rd as far as plentiful ocean life.* Maybe because of climate change, 10 years ago was the last of the best of snorkeling? Glad I went though. I was going to skip it because of the tourism. But the agencies in charge struck the best balance possible for an endangered reef and we humans who want to pay our respects to Kanaloa and Pele, for the beautiful gifts they bestowed.

I was moved by the incredibly beautiful blue sea!
We gathered at the port and spent about three hours together, during which we not only saw the sandbar but also enjoyed snorkeling and a stand-up paddleboarding experience. On our way back to the port, we had a lovely cruise over the beautiful sea. In just these three hours, we were able to have such amazing experiences, and my whole family was very satisfied. The macadamia-flavored coffee and spam rice balls we enjoyed on the boat were also very delicious! This trip was a celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary, and thanks to Yuka and all the staff, we created wonderful memories.
Thank you so much!

綺麗すぎるブルーの海に感動しました！
港に集合してから解散まで3時間ほどでしたが、サンドバーを見られるだけでなく、シュノーケリングやSAP体験、そして港に戻る時には綺麗な海の上を案内していただきクルージングも楽しめました。この3時間という時間の中でこれほどの体験をする事ができ、家族みんな大満足でした。船の上でごちそうになったマカダミア風味の珈琲やスパムのおむすびも大変美味しかったです！結婚30年の記念の旅行でしたが、ゆかさんはじめスタッフの皆様のおかげで素晴らしい思い出が出来ました。
本当にありがとうございました！

Previously, I had only watched the show and enjoyed it, so this time I chose the VIP course with a meal included. The buffet-style meal was abundant and delicious, leaving me very satisfied. The desserts were also plentiful, with ice cream, cake, and fruits... especially the papaya was delicious. After the meal, we moved to the show venue, and since it was the VIP course, we were able to watch from a great seat, second row from the front in the center. I was thrilled to see the Hawaiian dance, as well as performances by impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson up close. I had the most enjoyable time during my stay in Hawaii.

以前、ショーだけを観たことがあり、楽しかったので、今回は食事付きのＶＩＰコースを選びました。
ビュッフェ形式の食事で、料理の種類も豊富で美味しかったので、大満足できました。
デザートも充実していて、アイス、ケーキ、フルーツ……特にパパイヤが美味しかった。
食事のあとは、ショーの会場に移動しますが、ＶＩＰコースだったので、中央の前から2番目のよい席から観ることができました。
ハワイアンの踊り、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんの本人さながらのパフォーマンスを間近に観られテンションが上がりました。
ハワイ滞在中で、最高に楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The tour participants were from many countries, and it was so popular that I wondered if a single large bus could even accommodate everyone.

Since the tour would be canceled in case of rain, I was worried about the weather, but by the time we arrived at the location, it had cleared up.

The buggy experience was conducted in English, but they played a video in Japanese explaining how to operate the buggy, so I had no worries about driving. Even if something irregular happened, they kindly and clearly explained everything in English, so there was nothing to worry about. I have always been a fan of the Jurassic series, and I was truly moved to see the setting in person. It made me think again about how amazing the Earth is and how grand nature can be... It was a buggy tour that made me feel grateful to be here. I was simply overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery and couldn't take my eyes off it.

We stopped at various points, where they provided explanations of the scenery and time for photo opportunities, which was really great. (I couldn't understand most of the English explanations, though, haha.)

It might be an exaggeration, but if you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend seeing the scenery here at least once!!

(If I could be a little selfish, I wish we could have visited more filming locations from Jurassic Park...)

ツアー参加者は各国の人大勢で、大きなバス1台でもギリ乗り切れないんじゃないかくらいの人気だった。

雨が降ると中止になるツアーの為、天候悪化も心配していたが、無事現地に到着する頃には晴れてくれた。

バギー体験はもちろん英語のやりとりだが、バギーの乗り方の説明は日本語のビデオを流してくれた為、運転等の心配は全くなく、何かイレギュラーが発生しても英語で優しく分かりやすく教えてくれたので、何も心配はいらなかった。
私は元々ジュラシックシリーズのファンで、生でその舞台を見ることができて本当に感激だった。地球はすごいな、自然は壮大だな・・・と改めて思わせてるそんなバギーツアーだった。ここに来れて良かったと心底思えた。
ただただ壮大な景色に圧倒され、ずっと見惚れていた。
ポイントごとに停車して、景色の説明や写真撮影タイムが設けられていてすごくよかった。(英語の説明はほぼ理解できなかったけど笑)

でも大袈裟かもしれないけど、ハワイに行かれるなら、是非ここの景色は一度見てみてほしい！！

(ただ少しワガママを言うのであれば、もう少し、ジェラシックパークの撮影地を巡ってほしかったなぁ・・・)

I participated with four friends.
At the spot, the guide took fun photos from interesting angles, and we had a great time.
Since the explanations were only in English, I would have appreciated some guidance in Japanese, even if it was simple.

友人４人で参加しました。
スポットではガイドさんが面白いアングルで写真を撮ってくれたりと楽しめました。
説明が英語のみだったので、簡単でも良いので日本語での案内も欲しかったです。
