All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

During my stay, there was a week of "all-day rain," which happens only once every 15 years, making it difficult to truly experience the essence of this activity. The operators were very kind, and I am filled with gratitude for the captain, who tried to create enjoyable memories despite the rain and rough waves. However, the boat's rocking when heading out was more than expected, and more than half of the passengers ended up feeling unwell.

I definitely want to try again on a sunny day.

滞在中、15年に一度あるかないかという「終日降雨」という日が一週間続き、なかなか本アクティビティの神髄を体験することは叶いませんでした。オペレータの皆様もとても親切でしたし、雨や荒波なりに楽しい思い出を残そうと盛り上げて下さる船長には感謝の気持ちでいっぱいですが、沖に出る際の船の揺れが予想以上で、乗客の半数以上が体調を崩してしまいました。

是非、晴れた日にリベンジしたいです。

It's not an exaggeration to say that I came to Hawaii to see the fire dance in this show. The other shows were also well-crafted as entertainment, and I was able to enjoy them with peace of mind.

このショーのファイヤーダンスを見るためにハワイに来たと言っても過言ではない。他のショーもエンターテインメントとして完成されており、安心して楽しめました。

I was torn between the hotel luau and this show, but I chose this one for its convenience. I had heard that it wasn't just a hula show, and the quality of the performance was wonderfully impressive. The kids also enjoyed watching it.

ホテルのルアウと迷って、お手軽さからこのショーにしました。
フラショーだけではないと聞いていましたが、ショーのクオリティとして素晴らしい完成度でした。
子どもも楽しく見ました。

Best customer service. Best shuttle driver to pier with Kaplan. He is amazing. Very personable and knowledgeable about Oahu. Excellent communicator in both English and Japanese. He is a great ambassador for the tour and for Oahu.
Snockel crew was excellent. Very personable and helpful. Made all guests feel comfortable. Communicate in both English and Japanese. Very helpful in pointing out marine life. Jaime was excellent.

I really enjoyed the explanations provided by Jonah at every place we visited. As we moved along while listening to his commentary, it felt like we arrived at our destinations on Oahu in no time, even though we traveled from one end to the other. Additionally, his recommendations for dishes were spot on, and everything was delicious.

ジョナさんが通る場所至る所の解説を日本語でしてくれるので、とても楽しめました。
解説を聞きながら進んでいたので、オアフ島を端から端まで移動したのに、すぐ着いた感覚になりました。
また、おすすめの料理などが的確で全てが美味しかったです。

My first experience at Kualoa Ranch!
My companions wanted to do activities like buggies! They love Jurassic Park! I personally love Jumanji! I love nature! So, we started our buggy experience in the heavy rain☆
After the explanation in English, there was also a proper explanation in Japanese◎
After the buggy experience, we were able to enjoy our souvenirs and lunch at a leisurely pace♪
Although the weather was unfortunate, it meant there was no dust flying around, and we got to see the fantastic scenery of sun and rain, along with a rainbow, so it was great☆

クアロア・ランチ初体験！
同行者たちがバギーなどアクティビティがやりたい！ジュラシックパークが好き！私自身はジュマンジが好き！大自然が好き！って事で大雨のバギー体験スタートです☆
英語での説明の後、ちゃんと日本語での説明がありました◎
バギー体験後、お土産もランチもゆっくり楽しめました♪
あいにくのお天気でしたがその分埃が舞うこともなく太陽と雨の幻想的な景色や虹も見れたので良かったです☆

I received an email asking me to fill out a survey and a pledge, and at that time, I indicated that I did not want any photos. Later, I requested photos via email and received confirmation, and on the day of the event, I asked again for photos. I was told it would be fine, but the scheduled instructor did not show up. As a result, we ended up with just one instructor for the three of us beginners, so no photos were taken (although we did get a free photo of us on the board on the beach).

The surfing took place in a safe area, and the instructor provided guidance that was manageable for beginners. However, since there was only one instructor, I question whether we received enough attention. That said, the weather was beautiful, the scenery was stunning, and just floating in the ocean felt great. The Hawaiian instructor was cheerful and had a relaxed attitude, not worrying too much about the details, which is definitely a positive aspect. If you think of it as "Hawaiian time," it doesn't bother you at all.

メールが届いてそこからアンケートや誓約書などを書くのですが、その時に写真は希望しないにしてしまい、その後、メールで写真をお願いして了承を貰い、当日も写真を撮ってほしいとお願いしたのですが｢大丈夫｣とはいわれたのですが、予定のインストラクターが現れず、結果、1人のインストラクターで、私たち初心者の3人を見ることになったので、写真は無しになりました(無料で砂浜の上でボードに乗る写真だけは撮っていただきました)。
サーフィンは安全な場所で、初心者に無理の無い様に指導して貰いました。ですがやはり1人のインストラクターだったので十分に出来たかは疑問です。ただ、天気が良く、景色が素晴らしく、海に浮かんでいるだけでも気持ち良く。ハワイのインストラクターは陽気で細かいところは気にしないというおおらかさが良いところではありますね。
ハワイタイム？と思えば気にもなりません。

This was my second time using it. This time, I brought people who were experiencing the Auwana show for the first time. Just like last time, it was a powerful performance!

2回目の利用。
今回はアウアナ初体験の方たちを連れての観劇でした。
前回同様迫力のあるショーでした！

We are a couple who are both 60 years old. We tried riding a Segway for the first time. Since we were concerned that operating it might be difficult, we decided to start with a 60-minute session, but after just 10 minutes of practice, we became quite skilled at it.

The instructions were very clear and easy to understand in Japanese. When we actually went outside, it was fun, the scenery was beautiful, and riding through it felt really great. Next time, we plan to participate in a longer session that focuses more on the scenery.

We had a wonderful time.

60歳の同い年夫婦です。セグウェイを初めてやってみました。もし操作が難しいと困るのでとりあえず60分にしてみましたが10分も練習するとかなり上手になっていました。
操作説明も日本語でとてもわかりやすかったです。
実際に外へ出てみたところ、楽しくて景色も良くて、そこを走り抜けるのはとても気持ち良かったです。次回はもっと景色重視でもっと時間たっぷりのものに参加する予定です。
とても良い時間でした。

I participated in a 2-hour buggy ride. Wearing a helmet is mandatory. Goggles and masks are provided. It's up to you whether to use them, but since you'll get covered in dust, I chose to wear them. The scenery is magnificent. They take you to filming locations from Jurassic Park and Jumanji. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't know the movies. You'll return to Honolulu around 2:00 PM.

2時間バギーに参加しました。
ヘルメットの着用が必須です。ゴーグルとマスクも渡されます。使用するかは自由ですが砂埃まみれになるので私は使用しました。
景色は壮大です。ジュラシックパークやジュマンジのロケ地に連れて行ってくれます。映画を知らなくても十分楽しめると思います。ホノルル帰着は14:00くらいです。

From Diamond Head to Haleiwa, there's so much to see. The ocean I want to visit on my trip to Hawaii, the gourmet food in Kahuku, and exploring Haleiwa Town—all of this for a price that's unmatched. Our guide, Jonathan, was very clear and helpful, which made the experience even better.

ダイヤモンドヘッドから
ハレイワまで盛りだくさん。

I enjoyed watching the history of hula in Hawaii, and it was wonderful to see Elvis and Michael Jackson! I had a great time drinking and having fun.

ハワイ　フラの歴史を見ながら
楽しめて、エルビスやマイケルジャクソン
素敵でした！
お酒を飲みながら　楽しい時間を過ごせました

My son experienced it. He said the scenery was really beautiful and he had a lot of fun. However, after spinning around and floating, his first words when he got off were, "I feel sick... tears."

息子が体験しました。とーっても景色が良くて楽しかったようです。しかし、ぐるんぐるん回転したり、ふわふわしたり…降りての第一声は「酔った…涙」でした。

Since it was my first time, I was scared and nervous. However, other customers encouraged me and cheered me on, so I gradually got used to it and was able to enjoy the scenery around me (though I was still scared…). The sea breeze was pleasant and absolutely wonderful.

初めてなので怖くて緊張しまた。他のお客様さん達が声をかけてくれたり盛り上げてくれたので少しずつ慣れてきて周りの景色を見れました(やはり怖かったですが…)海の風はここち良く最高でした。

Had an amazing massage with a combination of styles! It was exactly what I needed after a long flight. The ladies did a great job in relieving my back pain. Loved it!

I usually do yoga indoors, so doing yoga while looking at the ocean and sky in Hawaii was very liberating. There were many locals, but everyone was very kind, and I had a great time. I would like to participate again.

普段は室内でのヨガをやっているので、ハワイの海や空をみながらのヨガはとても解放的でした。地元の方が多かったですが、みなさんとても親切でとても楽しめました。また参加したいです。

I was late to the meeting place on the day, but the staff was kind and attentive even though I joined midway! The yoga under the shade of the trees was comfortable, as the heat and sunlight from the beach weren't too strong, allowing me to relax and enjoy it! It was reassuring to have a Japanese instructor ♡ I was very happy that they took many photos and videos!

当日集合場所に遅れてしまいましたが、途中参加でも親切、丁寧でした！木陰でのヨガはビーチの暑さや日差しも強くなく安心して落ち着いて行えました！
日本人の先生で安心♡写真や動画もたくさん撮って頂きとても嬉しかったです！

I finally challenged myself to the skydiving I've always dreamed of. At first, I was nervous, but once I jumped, I experienced much more airtime than I had imagined, and I was truly moved by the breathtaking views and thrills.

The instructor who guided me was very friendly, and since I got to experience handling the controls, it felt great to not just be "flying," but to really feel like I was "participating" in the experience!

On the day of the jump, there is about a 30-minute wait from arrival until the jump, and another 30 minutes from landing until you leave, so it's a good idea to bring a mobile charger.

Regarding tips, there was a suggested amount written on the envelope given at the end, so I used that as a reference when I gave my tip.

It does take a bit of courage, but the unforgettable experience is worth it, so I highly recommend it for anyone looking to create special memories in Hawaii.

ずっと憧れていた念願のスカイダイビングに挑戦しました。
最初は緊張しましたが、いざ飛んでみると想像以上に滞空時間があり、景色もスリルも存分に楽しめて本当に感動しました。

担当してくれたインストラクターさんはとてもフレンドリーで、ハンドル操作を体験させてくれたこともあり、ただ飛ぶだけでなく「参加している」感覚が良かったです！

当日は到着してから飛ぶまで、また着地してから帰るまでにそれぞれ30分ほど待ち時間があるので、モバイル充電器を持っていった方がいいです。

チップについては、最後に渡される封筒に目安金額が記載されていたので、それを参考にしてお渡ししました。

少し勇気は要りますが、それ以上に忘れられない体験ができるので、ハワイで特別な思い出を作りたい方にはぜひおすすめしたいです。

There was a Japanese video explanation beforehand, so even if you're anxious about your English skills, you can participate with peace of mind. The horses were very gentle, and it was no problem at all even for those with no riding experience. The magnificent scenery surrounded by the sea and mountains was truly breathtaking, and I was able to fully appreciate Kualoa Ranch. After horseback riding, there was a bit of a wait for the shuttle bus back, but there were souvenir shops, restaurants, and a plaza, so I didn't have to worry about having too much free time. Additionally, the availability of paid lockers that you can access freely was convenient and helpful. The staff were all very kind, and I had a great experience.

事前に日本語のビデオ説明があり、英語が不安でも安心して参加できます。
馬はとても大人しく、乗馬経験がまったくなくても問題ありませんでした。
海と山に囲まれた雄大な景色は本当に圧巻で、クアロアランチを存分に感じられました。
乗馬後は、帰りの便のシャトルバスまで少し待ち時間がありましたが、お土産物屋さんや飲食店、広場があるので時間を持て余すことはありませんでした。
また、取り出し自由な有料のコインロッカーが用意されているのも便利で助かりました。
スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切で、良い経験ができました。

I participated on January 21st. We visited various tourist spots on the East Coast in order, and we were able to take photos at each location. At Kualoa Beach, we saw a honu (sea turtle) come close to the shore to eat seaweed. At the Tropical Farm, which my wife was looking forward to, we had the experience of cracking macadamia nuts and tasting all the different varieties. For lunch, we enjoyed a large Instagram-worthy burger at the Seven Brothers at Kahuku Sugar Mill. In the afternoon, we had an hour and a half of free time in Haleiwa, and we returned to Waikiki around 5 PM.

We visited many spots, but since it was just the two of us that day, we were able to enjoy it without rushing. Additionally, our conversations with our guide, Jonah, were lively, making for a fun day.

1/21に参加しました。東海岸の観光スポットを順番に回って、各スポットで写真も撮影してもらえます。
クアロアビーチではホヌが波打ち際近くまでやってきて、海藻を食べる姿を見れました。家内が楽しみにしていたトロピカルファームでは、マカデミアナッツを割る体験や全種類の試食も出来ました。昼食はカフクシュガーミルのセブンブラザーズで、インスタ映えする大きなバーガーを楽しみました。そして午後はハレイワで1時間半の自由時間があり、ワイキキには17時頃戻ってきました。
多くのスポットを回りましたが、この日は私たち夫婦だけだったのであくせくすることなく、またガイドのジョナさんとの会話も弾み、楽しい1日を過ごせました。

The theater inside the hotel is small, but you can see the entire stage well even from the cheaper seats. It gets crowded before entry, but since it's inside the hotel, you can feel secure. Because it's a small theater, entering and exiting was also smooth.

ホテル内の劇場のためこじんまりしていますが、安い席でも全体がよく見えます。入場前は混雑していますがホテル内のため安心です。小規模劇場のため出入りもスムーズでした。

Riding a gentle horse and strolling along the beach created the best memories. At first, I was anxious, but they carefully taught me the tips for riding.

優しい馬に乗り、海辺を散策できて、最高の思い出になりました。
最初は不安でしたが、乗り方のコツも丁寧に教えてくれます。

Satomi and her group had an amazing time, and the live music on the boat was wonderful! It was a bit cold, but we could do as much snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking as we wanted! The fish were so big that it was a little intimidating. Seeing the black, fast sea turtles in person was like being in heaven.

サトミさん御一行が最高に楽しくて、船の生演奏も素敵！少し寒かったけど、シュノーケリングのサップもカヤックもやり放題！魚はデカすぎてちょっとビビります。黒くて早い海亀も生で見れて天国でした。

I had some experience with horseback riding, but due to physical limitations, I hadn't ridden for a while. Most riding clubs in Japan follow the British style, but trail riding is done in the American style, so there are differences in handling the reins and saddle. In a group, we only walked in a line and couldn't run, but on the other hand, it was more than enough to enjoy touching the horses and experiencing the grandeur of nature. The horses are calm and obedient, so even beginners can take photos with their smartphones using one hand. If anything happens, the accompanying guide quickly comes to assist and provide instruction, which is reassuring. The mountain paths have some ups and downs, but the horses are used to it. I thought we would be able to walk along the coast, but instead, we walked along a road that overlooked the coastline, which felt nice in its own way. If you're not used to it, your position on the saddle can shift, so it's important to pay attention to your balance on both sides to ride well. Finally, I thanked the horse that carried me and patted it in appreciation.

乗馬の経験はありましたが、身体のハンデでしばらく乗っていませんでした、日本の乗馬クラブはほとんどブリティシュスタイルですが外乗乗馬はアメリカンスタイルなの　で鞍手綱さばきに違いがありグループで隊列で歩くのみで走ることはできません、逆に馬に触れ自然の雄大さを満喫して楽しむには十分以上です、馬も大人しく従順なので初乗馬でも片手でスマホ撮影できます、何かあれば同道のガイドさんがすぐ駆けつけ指導してくれるので安心です。山道は多少起伏がありますが馬は慣れたものです、海は海岸沿いを歩けるかとおもいきや海沿いの道を通るだけで眼下に海岸を見下ろして歩きますそれはそれで気持ち良し。慣れないとお尻の位置が鞍からずれてくるので常に左右のバランスには注意すると上手く乗れます。最後乗せてくれた馬にお礼を言い撫ぜて感謝しました。

Having the instruction manual in Japanese and staff who spoke Japanese made me feel very secure. They were also very accommodating with changes to the pickup time on the day, which was great.

日本語の説明書や日本語のスタッフがいてとても安心できた。当日の迎え時間変更も対応して下さりとてもよかった。

The weather was bad, but that actually turned out to be a good thing. It rained a little, and since the ground was wet, there was no dust being kicked up, which I was worried about because of the reviews mentioning getting muddy, but that didn't happen. My son, who was driving, was happy about it. However, it was all in English without any interpretation, so I couldn't understand anything, which was disappointing. If there had been a Japanese interpreter, I would have enjoyed it much more.

天気は悪かったのですが、それがむしろ良かったです。少し雨が降り、地面が、湿っていたので、ホコリが巻き上がらず、泥だらけになる、の口コミにびびってましたが、それはなかったです。運転した息子が、喜んでました。ただ通訳がなく、全て英語だったので全く分からず残念でした。日本語通訳があればもっと楽しめました。

The night view of Waikiki and the New Year's fireworks were truly beautiful and moving. The number of people (about 50) was just right, and we could see the scenery from all 360 degrees without any obstruction from crowds, which was great. On the boat, there were nine members of my family and just one person participating alone; the rest were all foreigners. The atmosphere on the boat was lively, with music playing loudly and everyone dancing, making it incredibly fun!

ワイキキの夜景＆ニューイヤー花火が本当にキレイで感動しました。
人数（50人くらい）もちょうど良く、360°景色が見え、人が多くて観れないことがなかったので良かった。
乗船している日本人が私達家族9人、1人で参加されている方くらいで、後は外国人の方ばかりで、船上で音楽をガンガンかけながら皆が踊るノリがよくてメチャ楽しかったです！

Since the guide was very energetic and spoke in English from the morning, I had some concerns about the mountain climbing, but my motivation to climb increased.

朝からとても元気よく英語でのガイドしてくれたので山登りに多少の心配がありましたが、登る気分が高まりました。

Driving a buggy through nature!
I signed up for this tour for a trip with my 67-year-old mother! I was a bit anxious about driving, so we opted for a driver, but it seemed like I could have driven myself! We drove through nature at about 20 kilometers per hour and were guided to locations that were used as filming sites for movies, and they also took wonderful photos for us!
They provided explanations at various points, but it was in English, so I couldn't understand anything... I think I would have enjoyed it more if I understood English.

The facility has places to grab light snacks, a restaurant, and a souvenir corner.
Next time, I want to go for a walk in nature on horseback!

大自然の中をバギーでドライブ！
67歳の母とのふたり旅で、こちらのツアーに申し込みました！運転は不安でしたのでドライバー付にしましたが、運転出来そうな感じでした！自然の中を時速20キロ程度で走行し映画のロケ地になった所などへ案内してもらえ、素敵な写真も撮影してくれます！
所々で説明もしてくれますが、英語でしたので、全く解らず…英語がわかればもっと楽しめたと思います。

施設には軽食が取れる場所やレストラン、お土産コーナーもあります。
次は馬に乗って自然の中をお散歩したい！と思いました。
