All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Easy to pre-purchase before the park, they send you the QR and your ready to go!

What a blast, we got a bunch of cool knowledge on all different pieces that make kualoa ranch!!

We had a blast!! Easy book and we liked the longer tour through the farm!

It started with a live performance on the boat, followed by bumper tubes and banana boat rides, and then snorkeling, which was full of fun! We even encountered a sea turtle (^^) And finally, we indulged in the live performance once again... I sincerely pray for the reconstruction of Maui.

船上ライブに始まり、バンパーチューブ&バナナボートその後シュノーケリングと楽しさ満載でした！
ウミガメにも遭遇して(^^)
そして最後に再びライブに酔いしれ…
マウイ島の再建を心よりお祈りいたします。

During my stay, I had been wanting to ride a catamaran, so I made a reservation for 11 AM two days later. The booking process was smooth. On the day of the trip, the weather was great, and we went further out than I expected. It was really fun to see Diamond Head from an angle I had never seen before, and it felt like I was walking on the beautiful blue ocean. Even the waves we encountered while on board felt refreshing. Most of the participants were from overseas, but everyone was in a relaxed mood, enjoying themselves in their own way. The duration of the trip was just right—not too short, not too long—and I was more than satisfied! I definitely want to go again next time.

滞在中、ずっと乗りたいと思っていたカタマランを思いつき翌々日の11時を予約しました。予約はスムーズに取れました。当日は天気も良く、思った以上に沖へ出ます。ダイヤモンドヘッドを見た事が無い角度から眺め青い海の上を散歩しているような感じでとても楽しかったです。乗船中被る波すらも気持ちいい。海外の方の参加が殆どでしたが、皆さんそれぞれ好きなようにリラックスして楽しむ雰囲気です。時間も短すぎず、長過ぎず丁度よく想像以上に大満足！次回も乗りたいと思います。

This is my fourth time participating.
It's incredibly refreshing!
We often join on the last day of our trip.
We take off our sandals on the beach before boarding, and we go barefoot inside the catamaran.
Depending on the waves, you might get splashed!
Make sure to take precautions against sunburn!
If you're lucky, you might even see a honu (sea turtle).

3.4回目の参加になります。
何しろ気分爽快‼️
私たちはよく旅行最終日に参加します。
ビーチでサンダルを脱いで乗船になり、カタマラン内では裸足です。
波によってはビチャーッ❗なんてことも……
日焼け対策はしっかり！
運が良ければホヌ(海亀)も見れます。

It was a great experience!
There were no downsides at all!
I got to see beautiful scenery, and it was a wonderful experience.
Thank you very much!

とてもいい体験でした！
悪い点は一つもありません！
良い景色を見れて、良い体験になりました
ありがとうございました！

The lunch was delicious, and the staff was friendly. However, whether the sandbar appears depends on the tide, so it's best to check the tide schedule in advance. Since this can be somewhat predicted, I feel that the tour company should provide some guidance on this. If they don't, it's reasonable to think that the chances of the sandbar appearing are low.

ランチは美味しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。ただ、サンドバーが現れるかどうかは潮位次第なので、あらかじめ満ち引きを確認された方が良いです。ある程度は予想できる事なのでツアー会社が目安を伝えるべきな気もしますが、それをしないと言うことは、サンドバーが現れるかタイミングは少ないと考えた方が良いでしょう。

It was an amazing experience. We arrive in a boat to a sandbar, the water is clear as crystal and pure. You wan snorkel, play volleyball and tan.
If you have chance you can see turtles as well !

Best experience ever!! Thank you gojump. Staff very fun, experienced, and professional

The trip was fun and the staff were great. They gave great information about everything we were doing and safety was very important to them.

I recently had the pleasure of joining the Waikiki Sunset Booze Cruise, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the breathtaking views of Diamond Head and Waikiki to the stunning Hawaiian sunset, every moment on this cruise was filled with awe and wonder.

The highlight of the cruise was undoubtedly the views. As we set sail, the magnificent Diamond Head loomed in the distance, creating a picturesque backdrop for the entire journey. The vibrant hues of the setting sun cast a magical glow over the Waikiki shoreline, creating a truly mesmerizing spectacle. It was a sight that I will forever cherish and one that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Honolulu.

The crew on board the boat were nothing short of amazing. They were not only knowledgeable about the area but also extremely friendly and accommodating. They made every effort to ensure that everyone on board had a memorable experience. Whether it was answering questions about the local landmarks or simply engaging in light-hearted banter, the crew went above and beyond to create a warm and enjoyable atmosphere.

Of course, no booze cruise would be complete without the drinks, and the Waikiki Sunset Booze Cruise did not disappoint. From tropical cocktails to beers, there was something for everyone. The bartenders were skilled and quick, ensuring that no one had an empty glass for long. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind while taking in the stunning views.

In conclusion, my experience with the Waikiki Sunset Booze Cruise was nothing short of phenomenal. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were breathtaking, the Hawaiian sunset was simply beautiful, and the crew was awesome. The endless supply of drinks added an extra touch of enjoyment to an already incredible journey. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience in Honolulu.

I had 2 teenage granddaughters with me. They tried paddle boarding, snorkeling, and other. I just walked around the sand bar and sat in the floating barge and talked to many others. For me it was very relaxing. And the girls loved it. They met many new friends.

The staff were very cheerful, and it turned into a fun trip! I also signed up for activities, and they were enjoyable! 😊

スタッフの方もとても明るく、楽しい旅になりました！アクティビティも申し込みましたが、たのしかったです(^^)

I was worried it might be scary since I'm not good with roller coasters, but it wasn't scary at all! The scenery and the wind felt great.

ジェットコースター系が苦手なので怖いかなぁと心配していましたが、全く怖くなかったです！
景色と風が気持ちよかったです。

Surreal experience seeing the ship WW2 ended on. Having a guide made it very pleasant.

The sandbar was in the ocean, but the weather was great, the scenery was beautiful, and I had a lot of fun! The guide was wonderful, and the hamburger was delicious. As mentioned in everyone's reviews, it's recommended to bring extra towels and a jacket since it can get cold!

サンドバーは海の中だったけど、それでもとても天気も良く景色も良く楽しかったです！ガイドさんも素敵でハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
みなさんの口コミ同様、寒くなるのでタオルや上着は多めに用意するのがおすすめです！

I was saddened by the lack of English explanations due to my limited English skills. Japanese tourists are gradually returning to pre-COVID levels, and I hope they can implement Japanese guided tours at least once a day or at least every other day. The guide was friendly and took photos for us, and it felt great to drive through the beautiful land of Kualoa for two hours. I thought it would be even more enjoyable if I understood the movie explanations. We only passed by the giant fallen tree from Jurassic Park, while other tourists were taking photos, but we just walked by. When I asked the guide at the next stop why we didn't stop there, he said that this tour does not stop at that location. If that's the case, it's misleading to have that photo included in the tour description.

Also, when booking the shuttle tour, it's important to try various start times to find one that suits you, or you will waste a lot of time at Kualoa. We had a 10:30 AM start for the buggy tour, and our pickup in Waikiki was at 8:15 AM. We arrived at Kualoa around 9:15 AM, listened to the Japanese guide, watched a Japanese video, and then hurried to buy souvenirs before the tour started. The lockers were broken (it seems to always be that way), so we had to protect our souvenirs with eco-bags as much as possible and placed them at our feet in the buggy, but the eco-bags ended up covered in dust.

After finishing the buggy tour at 12:30 PM, I bought photos from the vendor and went to the restroom, only to find it was already time for the return bus. I had brought a change of clothes, but there was no time to change, and I returned to the hotel covered in dust. By the way, most men were wearing shorts. Sunglasses were available for rent, and they gave us a neck holder (to wear around the neck and cover the nose).

全て英語の説明で英語力のなさが悲しかったです。
日本人観光客もコロナ前に戻りつつあり、１日に一回、せめて２日に一回、日本語ガイドツアーを実施して欲しいです。
ガイドさんはフレンドリーで写真も撮って下さるし、クアロアの大地を２時間走るのは気持ち良く、映画の説明がわかったらもっと楽しいだろうと思いました。
ジュラシックパークの巨大倒木は近くを通るだけで、観光客が写真を撮っていたのに私達は素通り。
次の停止ポイントで、ガイドさんになぜさっき止まらなかったか聞いたら、このツアーはあそこには止まらない、とのこと。だったら、このツアーにあの写真が載ってるのは間違いです。
あと、送迎ツアーを申し込む時は、開始時間を色々入力してみて自分に合った時間にしないとクアロアでタイムロスが多くなります。私たちは10時30分スタートのバギーでワイキキピックアップは8時15分でした。クアロアに9時15分頃着いて、日本語ガイドさんから話を聞いて、日本語ビデオを見て、その後、開始までの時間に急いでお土産を購入。ロッカーが故障してたので、（どうもいつもそんな感じみたい）お土産を出来る限り持参のエコバッグなどで守って、バギーの足元に置いて出発しましたが、エコバッグはホコリまみれになりました。
12時30分にバギー終了後は、業者さんの写真を買ってトイレに行ったらもう帰りのバスの時間でした。
着替えを持って行ってましたが、着替える時間はなく埃まみれのまま、ホテルに帰りました。
ちなみに男性は半パンの方ばかりです。
サングラスは貸し出しあり、ネックホルダー（首にはめて、鼻まで覆う）プレゼント。

You can experience something that you can only taste here! I participated alone, but since it was a group tour, I had a lot of fun blending in with the others. Every view was breathtaking, and I'm really glad I went!!! It seems there are also buggies and horseback riding, but even this bus was a really interesting and thrilling ride, so definitely give it a try!

絶対にここでしか味わえない体験ができます！
私ひとりで参加しましたが、グループツアーなので
周りの方に紛れてすごく楽しめました。
どこをどう切り取っても絶景ばかりで本当に
行って本当によかったです！！！
バギーや乗馬もあるみたいですが、このバスさえも
すごく面白く迫力のある乗り物だったので
ぜひとも、行ってみてください！

Amazing and affordable snorkeling experience in Waikiki, I would recommend this tour for first time snorkelers like myself, the tour guides are very nice and helpful! 10/10 can't wait to be back and do it again :)

Thank you for allowing me to experience snorkeling despite my lack of confidence in swimming. I was moved by the sea turtles and various fish that I could see up close. Above all, I felt reassured to have staff who spoke Japanese. It's just a shame that the weather wasn't good.

泳ぎに自信がない私をシュノーケル体験させていただきありがとうございました。すぐそばで見れた海亀やさまざまな魚にも感動。何より日本語が話せるスタッフがおられ安心しました
ただお天気が良くなかったのが残念。

My husband and I loved the BYOB Sunset Cruise. The crew was expert and helpful. They took pictures of couples and families if you asked and generally made everything fun and casual. I had never been on a catamaran before and I felt perfectly comfortable.It's a small craft, so you will get wet, but not soaking (unless you opt to ride on the webbing up front). Memories for a lifetime!

Wowwwww!!! What an experience!!! The staff was super friendly and very helpful!!! 10/10 I highly recommend booking this trip out to turtle canyon.

This is a place I want you to visit when you come to Hawaii.
We chose the buggy.
The price is high, but it's a facility you can only experience here.
There are also bus tours and horseback riding tours.
Next time, I want to participate in a different tour.

ハワイ来たら訪れてもらいたい場所です
私たちは、バギーをチョイス
金額は高いけど、ここでしか体験できない施設なので
ほかにもバスツアーや乗馬ツアーがあり
次回は、違うツアーに参加したいですね

I participated in a tour with a four-wheeler! I was very satisfied with the opportunity to enjoy the nature of Kualoa.

Since the buggies kick up a lot of dust, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty! Be careful as your hair can get quite tangled afterward.

It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't stop at the spot where the Jurassic Park sign and fallen tree scene are, but we were able to pass by it. Overall, I had a great time!

四輪バギーでツアー参加しました！
クアロアの自然を満喫できて大変満足しました。

バギーは砂埃がすごいので汚れてもいい服での参加をお勧めします！！終わった後は髪もギシギシになるので要注意です

ジュラシックパークの看板と木が横たわっているシーンの再現があるところで停車できなかったのだけ残念ではありましたが側を通ってみることはできました。
しかし、全体的にはとても楽しめて良かったです！

I experienced it for the first time. It was really high!! Looking down, the sea was far away and the boat looked tiny, and I was genuinely scared thinking the rope might snap and I would fall... My son, who was with me, seemed to be having a great time, but I was too scared to enjoy it at all. I ended up chanting a prayer. The time felt incredibly long. However, towards the end, when we splashed into the water, it was fun. Everyone was getting splashed, and we all laughed together.

The boat staff were friendly and engaging, even with Japanese guests. I definitely recommend experiencing this. It will become a lifelong memory.

As for the meeting point, it took about 20 minutes to walk leisurely from the center of Waikiki while checking Google Maps. You don't need to take the trolley.

初めて体験しました。いやもう高い！！足元を見ると海面も遠くボートもちっちゃく、ロープが切れて落ちるんじゃないかと思うと本当に怖かった、、、。一緒に乗った息子はとても楽しそうでしたが、私は怖すぎて無でした。念仏唱えました。時間もえらく長く感じました。しかし最後の方で水面にぼちゃん！は楽しかった。どの組もぼちゃんやられててみんなで笑いました。
ボートのスタッフは日本人にも気さくにどんどん絡んでくるフレンドリーな方でした。
ぜひ体験することをおすすめします。
一生の思い出になりますよ。

待ち合わせ場所ですが、ワイキキの中心からグーグルマップみながらのんびり歩いてたしか20分くらいでした。トロリー乗らなくても大丈夫ですよ。

There was absolutely no white sandy beach due to high tide. As for snorkeling, the water wasn't particularly clear, and while the staff fed the fish to attract them, there were only a few dark-colored ones; it wasn't an experience that would leave you in awe with beautiful fish.

There are many jagged corals, so going barefoot is dangerous. It really hurts if you bump into them, so I recommend wearing marine shoes.

It was my first time on a banana tube, and it was a lot of fun. I almost fell off several times but managed to hold on tightly and stay safe. I didn't try the banana boat, but I think the bumper tube is more thrilling and allows you to scream your heart out.

Lastly, even though it was midsummer, it was incredibly cold. They only have cold drinks available. Make sure to bring a jacket and a beach towel. Even wearing a hoodie, it was cold. By the way, they sell long-sleeved hoodies at ABC as well. In Hawaii, it’s freezing inside buildings, on buses, and on boats.

満潮なのか白い砂浜全くありませんでした。それよりも、シュノーケルですが海は特に透明でもなく、魚もスタッフがエサをあげて寄ってこさせてはいますが、黒っぽいのが少しいるだけで、きれいな魚がたくさんいて感動するようなことはありませんでした。
ゴツゴツのサンゴがたくさんあるので素足は危ないです。当たると本当に痛いですのでマリンシューズを履くことをおすすめします。
バンパーチューブは初めてだったのでとても楽しかった。何度も落ちそうになったけど必死にしがみついてなんとか無事でした。バナナボートはやりませんでしたが、バンパーチューブのほうが思いっきり叫べるしスリリングで楽しいと思います。
最後に、真夏でしたがまじで死ぬほど寒いです。飲み物は冷たいものしかありません。必ず上着、ビーチタオルを持っていってください。パーカー着ても寒い。ちなみにABCでも長袖のパーカーなど売っています。ハワイは建物内もバスも船の上も死ぬほど寒いです。

I participated with my 9-year-old child.

It had been quite a while since I last rode a catamaran, so it was a nice change.

At this time of year, I think you don't have to worry too much about the weather, but since there was a hurricane, I wanted to see the beach as soon as we arrived in Hawaii, so I made a last-minute reservation.
It was fine to book the day before, and I received an immediate confirmation email. There were no issues with check-in on the day.

Boarding involved getting wet up to about my knees, and there’s a rule to shake off the sand from your sandals before getting on. The seating is first-come, first-served, but everyone was courteous and shared.

Once we set sail and headed out, we caught the wind. The front of the boat took quite a bit of spray, but that’s part of the fun of being on a catamaran.
While it was calm at the beach that day, there were significant waves offshore, and we glided over them.
The first half was quite an intense activity, but on the way back, we enjoyed a peaceful sail while taking in the views of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki.
I was able to take some great photos.

The downside was the location.
Based on my old memories, I headed towards the Sheraton, but I couldn't get through from the pool area and had to take a long detour from the parking lot to reach it.
It seems like you could access it from Kai Market or around the pool, but it felt like it was limited to Sheraton guests.
It would be helpful if there were more detailed route instructions.

9歳の子どもと参加しました。

自分がカタマランは乗ったのは随分前で久々の参加でした。

この時期は天気の心配はあまりしなくていいとは思いますが、ハリケーンもあったのでハワイに着いてビーチの様子を見たくて、直前の予約となりました。
予約は前日でも大丈夫で、即OKのメールがきました。当日のチェックインも問題なかったです。

乗船は膝くらいまで濡れる感じで、サンダルは乗る前に砂を落としておくルール。座席は自由な感じで、早い者勝ちだけど譲り合いながら。

出航して沖に出ると風を受けて進みます。前方はかなり波を被りますが、それがカタマランの楽しさ。
この日はビーチだと穏やかでしたが、沖は結構な波で、滑空するように波を乗り越えます。
前半はかなり激しいアクティビティでしたが、後半の帰りはダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを眺めながら、穏やかなセイリング。
いい写真撮れました。

難点は開催場所。
昔の記憶でシェラトンの辺りに向かうとプールの辺りから通り抜けられず、駐車場の方から大回りしてたどり着きました。
カイマーケットか、プールあたりからはいけそうなんですが、シェラトンの宿泊者限定っぽい感じで。
ルート案内がもう少し情報があれば。

The staff were kind, funny, and absolutely wonderful. They played with my child using water guns. The transportation staff were also friendly and gentlemanly. During snorkeling, when I felt a bit scared, they led me and said, "Let's go together." I've participated in several overseas tours, but I've never felt as safe and enjoyed myself as much as I did here. I highly recommend this tour.

スタッフさんが、優しいし、おもしろいし、最高でした。子どもと水鉄砲で遊んでくれました。送迎の方も親切で紳士でした。シュノーケリングでは、少し怖くなると一緒に行きましょうとリードしてもらえました。海外のツアーはいくつか参加しましたが、ここまで安心して楽しめたのはありません。おすすめしたい，ツアーです。

This tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Georgie was so knowledgeable and made the UTV tour so much fun!
Great adventure tour for those who like to really explore. You can tell this company is passionate about what they do! Best tour on the island by people who live and breathe it!
