All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I cant stop thinking about how at peace this day was! Wish to be back on the sandbar.

What a great luau and evening, dinner was good and the Poly center had lots o cute shops!

If you are afraid of heights like me maybe second think, but still decide to do it, as the sights of the crystal water are beautiful.

The full day was filled with so much history, we felt lucky we chose this event on our vacation!

Arizona ferry ride and memorial were just breathtaking

A great see when staying on Oahu, holds great American history

Tour guide in car was very helpful and detailed and park was very memorable

This tour shows you it all and they are very personable!

Really fun evening! We would recommend this luau to our friends visiting.

The waters in Hawaii are just amazing! Lovely day and lots of fish to see!

Stepped out on my comfort zone and it was totally worth it!!! What a day!

Course is so awesome and great maintained! Would do again

This tour gives you access to both Missouri and Arizona in just half a day, it is a reat tour to visit PH while in Waikiki.

Really Awesome Views from Above. Me and my partner had a blast!!

The whole crew was just amazing. Lots of fun.
Thanks

The crew on this boat is AMAZING! They will make you feel so welcome and right at home. Like you are traveling with old friends. We had a great time and saw a ton of beautiful fish around the reef and even more turtles. We had our one year old son with us and the crew could not have been better and more caring about us having the best possible experience. HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!

I think it's completely not worth the 20,000 yen per person, even considering that it's a natural phenomenon and the sand may not appear. It says that meals are included, but even in the morning, there wasn't even coffee, just a sweet donut and some bad juice mixed with water. My daughter and I participated in snorkeling, but the sea wasn't that beautiful, and there were no fish. When I asked the Japanese woman in charge, she bluntly said that there were fish a little further away by the coral, but we were told not to go beyond the coral, so we ended up not seeing many fish and our satisfaction level was zero.

It seemed like you could also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but once everyone used them, they didn't pass them on to the next person, so I only got to ride for a little bit about 10 minutes before the meeting time. I think they should either set a usage time or increase the number of equipment available. Other newlyweds looked bored floating on the rest boards in the sea, and it was really sad to see.

I will never participate again, and I think anyone considering joining should just pay for a different beach instead of this. I really want my 40,000 yen back!! (laughs)

自然現象だからサンドが現れないのは仕方ないとして、1人約2万円払って行く価値は全くないと思います。
食事付きと記載されていますが、朝なのにコーヒーすらなく甘ったるいドーナツ1つと水で溶かした不味いジュースかお水でした。
娘と2人でシュノーケルの参加でしたが、海もそこまで綺麗ではなく魚もいないし、主催の日本人女性に聞いたら少し離れたサンゴの所に魚がいると無愛想に言われました。
ですが、サンゴより向こうは行かないで下さいって言われたので結局魚はあまり見れず満足度はゼロでした。
その他サップやカヤックが出来るようでしたが、みなさん一度使うと中々次の人にまわさないので、結局集合時間の10分前にちょこっと乗れたくらいです。
使用時間を決めるか、もっと増やすか改善するべきだと思います。
他の新婚さんも海に浮いている休憩するボードにつまらなさそうにしていて、とても可哀想でした。
もう2度と参加しませんし、参加を考えてるみなさんもお金払わなくても普通に別の海に入った方が満足出来ると思います。
ほんと4万円返して欲しい！！笑

We had the best time during our time at the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure. The live music (an experience in itself) really sets the tone for the day. The staff were friendly and helpful. One of the crew members told me to step on him to get into the kayak. Because he was shorter, he was underwater, while I used him as stairs. And we actually had to do this twice, because I flipped out on the first try. We purchased the package that included the bumper tube ride, and I must admit I misjudged our driver, who I think was the boat captain. For some reason, I was under the impression that she was going to take us us a mild tour around the bay. This was a prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover. Let me say this clearly: la capitana was all throttle. Honestly, the tubing was the best part of my day. I would recommend this to all. Great time.

The staff were friendly, and they took several photos for us. Everything was in English, so I thought I should have brought a translation device since I didn't understand English, but the scenery was very beautiful. For some reason, we couldn't go to Jurassic World, but I'm glad we were able to go on our honeymoon.

フレンドリーなスタッフさんで、写真も何枚か取ってもらえました。全部英語なので、英語がわからなかったので、翻訳機持っていけばよかったと思いましたが、景色がとてもきれいでした。ジュラシックワールドはなぜか行けなかったのですが、ハネムーンで行けてよかったです。

I enjoyed being able to share the same time with members full of exotic charm while enjoying various activities!

色々なアクティビティを楽しめるし、異国情緒溢れるメンバーで同じ時間を教諭できることか楽しかったです！

I was a bit anxious about the explanations in English, but I was able to understand through the atmosphere. The electric bicycle takes a little getting used to, but it's comfortable.

英語での解説に不安がありましたが、雰囲気で理解することができました。電動自転車は慣れるまでに少し苦労しますが快適です。

The pickup car arrived about 15 minutes after the meeting time. (I was a bit worried, but) I think it's best to relax and wait, thinking it's HAWAII TIME. Despite the early morning, the driver was in high spirits, which lifted my mood!

If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take some medication beforehand. Our family all took it, so we didn't experience any seasickness at all, but about 4 to 5 people were unable to move due to it.

When we spotted dolphins, we jumped in one by one. Those who jumped in earlier had a higher chance of seeing them, but those who didn't see them were prioritized to jump in next, so everyone was able to see the dolphins.

We were very satisfied to see both dolphins and sea turtles!

All the staff were very kind, and I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

It gets cold when you come back onto the boat from the sea, so a jacket and a bath towel are essential.

Thank you to all the staff.

MAHALO

集合時間から15分後くらいに
ピックアップの車が到着しました。
(ちょっと心配ですが)HAWAII TIMEだと思って気楽な気持ちで待てばいいと思います。
早朝にも関わらず運転手さんは
ハイテンションで気分が上がりました！

船酔いの心配がある方は
酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいです。
私たち家族は全員飲んでいたので
全く船酔いしませんでしたが
4～5名船酔いで
動けなくなっていました。

イルカだー！となると
順番に飛び込みます。
やはり早く飛び込んだ方が
見れる確率は上がりますが
見れなかった人は次に飛び込む時は
優先して飛び込ませてもらえるので
全員がイルカを見ることができました。

イルカもウミガメも見られて
大満足です！

スタッフも皆とても親切で
またハワイに行ったら必ず参加したいと
思います。

海から船に上がると寒いので、
上着&バスタオル必須です。


スタッフの皆さん
ありがとうございました。

MAHALO

This is my second time participating. There are emotions that you can't feel on a large ship, like the sea and the wind. The sunset was a touching moment. It's better to have something to wear over your shoulders.

2回目の参加になります。
海や風など大きな船では感じられない感動がありますね。サンセットは感動のひとときでした。
羽織ものはあったほうがいいです。

It was the main purpose of this trip. It exceeded my expectations. The guide was really kind and entertaining, and we had the best drive. I will definitely go again.

今回の一番の目的でした。期待以上でした。
案内のガイドさんが本当に親切で面白く、最高のドライブができました。必ずまた行きます。

The captain and crew were young, and the sound and vibe were fantastic! Since communication was only in English, we were the only Japanese guests. Those who wanted could enter the sea offshore, and wearing life jackets was optional, allowing everyone to enjoy as they pleased. I highly recommend the sunset cruise.

キャプテンとクルーが若く、サウンドとノリが最高！英語のみのコミニケーションの為、日本人は自分達だけでした。
希望者は沖合いで海に入れますし、ライフジャケットの着用も自由で、好きな様に楽しむことが出来ます。
サンセットクルーズでは、オススメです。

The assisted mountain bike is amazing! You can easily climb hills while sitting down. The exhilaration of racing through nature on a mountain bike is exceptional. Additionally, at the photo spots, you have a reasonable amount of time to take breaks. The bike used is the Trek Rail, available in three sizes: S, M, and L.

アシスト付きマウンテンバイクはアシストがスゴイ！坂道も座ったままで楽々登ります。
大自然の中をマウンテンバイクで駆け抜ける爽快さは格別。また、フォトスポットでは、適度な時間を取ってくれて適度に休憩も取れます。
使用する自転車は、Trek Railで大きさはS.M.Lの3種類あります。

During snorkeling, we were able to see many turtles up close. The staff kindly taught my wife, who is not a strong swimmer, and they also kept a watchful eye on her, which made us feel safe. Above all, both the captain and the staff spoke Japanese well, and there were also Japanese staff members, which added to our sense of security. This is a recommended activity if you visit Hawaii. However, due to the tides, it's not guaranteed that sandbars will appear as shown in the promotional photos, so you might need to be a little cautious about that.

シュノーケリングでは、沢山の亀が近くで見られました。泳ぎの苦手な妻にも親切に教えてくれて、また、安全を見守ってくれているので安心です。何より、キャプテンもスタッフも日本語が上手な上に日本人スタッフもいて、安心度合いが違います。ハワイに行ったらオススメのアクティビティです。ただし、潮の満ち引きの関係もあるのでイメージ写真の様なサンドバーが現れるとは限りませんのでその辺は少し注意が必要かもしれません。

I participated in this tour during my honeymoon in Hawaii for the first time. I compared many sandbar tours, but I decided on this one because it offered both sandbar and snorkeling with plenty of time to enjoy both in the best conditions! In the end, it was a great choice!!!

There were two boats, one with Japanese support and one with English support, and the explanations in Japanese made it even more enjoyable!

The sandbar was just at high tide, so the water was about waist-deep, but it was very beautiful, and the staff took lots of photos for us! The time spent there was more than enough, and we even had time to practice snorkeling!

After that, we were taken to a spot where we could see sea turtles, and even though it was from the boat, we could see them perfectly!

Finally, we had the snorkeling experience. We were able to see many fish while circling around a large coral reef. They provided fins and life jackets, making it very enjoyable even for beginners, so I highly recommend it. There was plenty of time for this as well, and it was fantastic.

The hamburger for lunch was, of course, excellent. By the way, I wore marine shoes, but I ended up taking them off to enjoy the experience, so they weren't necessary!

Lastly, the staff member Yukiko was very kind! It was the best! Thank you so much♪

ハネムーンで初めてのハワイで参加しました。
サンドバーツアーは他にもあり、めちゃくちゃ比較検討しましたが、サンドバー、シュノーケリングで場所を変えるし、時間もたっぷりとってあったので、どちらもベストな状態で楽しめるのではないかと思ったのが決め手でした！結果、大正解！！！
日本語対応のボートと英語対応のボートと2台あり、いろんな説明を日本語でしてくださったのもより楽しめてとても良かったです！！！
サンドバーはちょうど満潮のタイミングだったので、腰くらいまでありましたが、とても綺麗で、スタッフの方がたくさん写真を撮ってくれます！滞在時間も十分すぎるくらいで、シュノーケリングの練習する時間もありました！
そのあとウミガメが見れるスポットに連れてっていただき、船の上からですが、バッチリ見れました！
最後はシュノーケリング体験です。大きな珊瑚礁の周りをまわりながら、たくさんのお魚を見ることができました。フィンとライフジャケットを貸していただき、初心者でもとっても楽しめるのでオススメです。こちらもたっぷり時間があり、最高でした。
ランチのハンバーグももちろん最高です。
ちなみにマリンシューズを履いて行きましたが、脱いで楽しんだので、不要でした！
最後に、スタッフのyukikoさんはとっても親切でした！最高！ありがとうございました♪

There was no guide who could speak Japanese, and basic English communication skills were necessary, but even though I couldn't speak any English at all, they kindly explained things while using a language translation app on their phone and actively engaged in communication, which made it really enjoyable for me. That said, it's definitely true that being able to speak English would enhance the experience even more.

I recommend participating in clothes that you wouldn't mind throwing away. The red dirt stains won't come out even after washing. I participated in a white shirt that I planned to discard, and after the event, it turned into a reddish-brown shirt. (It also got soaked in the rain...)

The tour runs on really bumpy roads from a certain point, so it's better for people with neck or back issues to skip it. (I think there was something in the consent form before participation that mentioned self-responsibility.)

I'm not sure if it was because the weather was rainy when we participated, but the goggles provided had gaps where water could get in, and they became hard to see through due to dirt, while we were going at quite a speed (about 20 km/h), making it difficult to keep up. Especially for those with contact lenses, it's hard to keep your eyes open. (I was one of them.)

There are no shower rooms, just a place to wash your face and hands, and if you want to take a shower, you'll need to go to a nearby beach.

日本語を話せるガイドがおらず、基本的な英語でのコミュニケーション能力が必要とありましたが、全く英語が出来ない自分にも嫌な顔せず、携帯で言語変換しながら優しく説明してくれたり、コミュニケーションも積極的にとってくれて盛り上げてもらい、すごく楽しめました。
とはいえ、やはり英語はできるほうが更に楽しめることは間違いないです。

服装は本当に捨ててもいい服で参加する事をお勧めします。赤土での汚れは洗濯しても取れません。
自分は捨てる予定の白シャツで参加し、参加後には赤茶色のシャツになってました。（雨が降って染み込んだのもありますが…）

ツアーは途中から本当に凸凹の道を走るので、首や腰の悪い人はやめた方がいいです。（参加前の承諾書にも自己責任でみたいなのが書いてあったと思います。）

自分達が参加した時の天気が雨だったからなのかわかりませんが、貸してもらえるゴーグルだと隙間から入ってきたり、ゴーグルが汚れで見え辛くなっているのに、結構なスピード（約20Km/h）で走るのでついて行くのが大変でした。
特にコンタクトの方は目が開けてられないです。（自分がそうでした）

シャワールームはなく、顔や手を洗うぐらいの場所があるだけで、シャワーを浴びたければ近くのビーチまで行く必要があります。

This is an activity that I definitely recommend everyone to experience when visiting Hawaii. It was an amazing experience to see the Hawaiian scenery from above the ocean!

There was no pressure to tip, as it was more of a suggestion at the time of disembarkation, but since it was such a wonderful experience, I decided to give a tip!

Thanks to the advice from everyone, I took motion sickness medication and didn't feel nauseous at all! I put my tip, credit card, and smartphone in a waterproof phone case and hung it around my neck while holding my GoPro in my hand as I jumped! I only brought a beach towel for other items. The luggage goes in the boat's storage, and since there are staff members around, I felt that my belongings wouldn't be stolen while we were flying.

ハワイに来たらぜひみなさんに体験いただきたいアクティビティです。ハワイの景色を海の上から見れて、とっても最高な体験になりました！
チップは下車時によかったらチップお願いします的な感じで強制感はありませんでしたが、とても素敵な体験ができたので、お渡ししました！
みなさんのアドバイスを見て酔い止めを飲んだおかげか、特に酔いませんでした！
防水スマホケースにチップとクレカとスマホ入れて首から下げて、ゴープロを手に持って飛びました〜！そのほか持ちのものは、バスタオルくらいにしました。荷物はボートの荷物入れ？に入れますし、スタッフの方もいるので、飛んでる間に荷物が盗まれる事はないかなと思いました。
