All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Crew was fantastic, very friendly and the drinks were plentiful. Highly recommended and can’t wait to come back and do it again. The scenery was also amazing !

There were two guides, one of whom was a Japanese woman. There were about ten participants, with two Americans and the rest being Japanese. The guides were kind and attentive, allowing us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. When I initially struggled with breathing through my mouth, the male guide quickly came to help me. The female guide also held my hand and swam with me.

It was drizzling on the day of the tour, and the water level was quite low, so I was glad I borrowed a wetsuit. I was able to see a lot of fish as well.

ガイドの方は2人で、1人は日本人女性の方でした。参加者は10人ぐらいでアメリカ人2人以外はは日本人でした。ガイドの方は親切丁寧に接してくださり、安心してツアーを楽しむ事ができました。わたしが最初口呼吸がうまくできない時、男性ガイドの方がすぐに助けに来てくれました。女性ガイドの方も手を握って一緒に泳いでくださいました。
当日は小雨で水位もかなり低く、ウェットスーツを借りておいてよかったです。魚もたくさん見ることができました。

I participated alone in the afternoon. There were also people from the mainland United States and Germany participating alone, and it was a friendly lesson. First, we watched a video on how to ride inside the store, then walked a few minutes to the beach, where we received a lecture on how to ride on the sandy shore. There were five participants and two male instructors (English speakers) who assisted us. Each of us took turns riding the waves and surfing. The conditions were not great, as it was cloudy with light rain, but I was able to catch some waves. They also filmed videos with a drone. I struggled with paddling and couldn't move forward well, so the instructor hooked his foot on my board and helped me get to the point. When I couldn't stand on the board, they provided advice and taught me enthusiastically.

There are lockers with locks for your belongings. They also lend out rash guards. There was a Japanese male staff member who talked with us about various things (it seems he is in charge of the morning lessons). Both the instructors and the store staff were friendly, and I made some wonderful memories.

午後1人で参加しました。アメリカ本土やドイツなど1人で参加されている人もいて、和気あいあいなレッスンでした。店内でまず乗り方の映像をみて、数分歩いて海岸へ行き、砂浜で乗り方のレクチャーを受けます。5人参加でインストラクター男性2名（英語話者）ついてくれました。1人1人順番に波に乗せてくれ、サーフィンをしました。曇りで小雨のあまりよくないコンディションでしたが、波に乗れました。ドローンで動画撮影もしてくれます。わたしはpaddlingがうまくできなくてなかなか前へすすまず、インストラクターがわたしのボードに足をひっかけてポイントへ連れていってくれました。ボードに立てない時はアドバイスをくれるなど熱心に教えてくれます。
荷物は鍵がかかるロッカーがあります。ラッシュガードも貸してくれます。
日本人の男性スタッフの方もいて、いろいろお話してくださいました（レッスンは午前担当らしいです）。インストラクターの方もお店のスタッフもフレンドリーで楽しい思い出ができました。

This trip was fantastic! We started with a Honolulu city tour learning about the Kingdom of Hawaii, as well as Punchbowl Cemetery. We then headed to Pearl Harbor, where we honored the fallen at the Arizona. The Missouri and Aviation Museum were also great! The bus picked us up promptly at 8am from our hotel in Waikiki and we were dropped off at 5pm, but the day seemed to fly by. Our drivers Lola and BK were wonderful!! The company was also kind enough to hold the last bus for us because we were running late. Royal Star was in charge of the tour - very organized and all the employees were great!!

The instructors were a veteran woman and an American who spoke Japanese well. They were very knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay and took safety into consideration, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. I heard that they resumed tours in February, but due to environmental protection measures, it can be difficult to make reservations, so I recommend booking early.

インストラクターは、ベテランの女性と日本語が上手なアメリカ人の2人で、ハナウマベイを熟知されていて安全に配慮してくださり、安心して、たっぷりとシュノーケルを楽しめました。2月から本格的にツアーを再開したとのことでしたが、環境保護などから予約が取りにくいツアーなので、早めの予約をお勧めします。

Dan and Chieko were great hosts and guides. Dan picked us up and we talked with him quite a bit. He was kind, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth. Chieko was energetic, caring, and knowledgeable. The whole process (pick up and drop off, fitting for flippers, trolley down to the beach, putting on wet suits (additional option), instructions on technique and guidelines, storage of valuables, etc) was smooth from start to finish. This was my partner’s first experience snorkeling; she felt safe and at ease with Dan’s and Chieko’s instructions and guidance. We spent some time in the shallows and then went to deeper parts of the bay. We saw lots of fish! Hanauma Bay is a very special place. Overall, this was an amazing experience that my partner and I highly recommend!!!

When I got on the bus, I was asked to show my passport, and when I showed my driver's license, they said, "A Japanese driver's license cannot be verified" (tears). When I showed my credit card, they trusted me.

バスに乗る際パスポートの提示を求められ、運転免許証を見せたら「日本の免許証は証明出来ない」(涙)
クレジットカードを見せたら信頼されました。

Easily marked where to go once we got the ranch! Great tour guides that you could tell had fun working there. Knowledgeable about the land, ranch, nature, etc. they provided us with a dust covering, eye protection and helmets. Safe vehicles. Definitely saw more of the ranch than any other tour or on horseback since we were using the UTV’s! I’d definitely recommend this to friends.

The elegant hula dance began, and I was captivated by the Hawaiian melodies. I was also enchanted by the songs and dances accompanied by footage of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The final fire dance was particularly powerful and amazing. The theater was spacious and beautiful, and the staff's guidance was attentive. It rained all day, so I couldn't go anywhere, but I was glad to enjoy the two-hour evening show. After it ended, many audience members lined up for photos with the cast.

優雅なフラダンスから始まり、ハワイアンメロディにうっとりしました。そしてエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンの映像と共に歌やダンスに魅了されました。特に最後のファイヤーダンスは迫力があり、素晴らしかったです。広く綺麗な劇場でスタッフの案内も丁寧でした。この日は朝から雨で、どこにも出掛ける事が出来なかったのですが、夜のショーをたっぷり２時間楽しめて良かったです。終了後、キャストとの写真撮影にもたくさんの観客が並んでいました。

Nick with snorkeling gave us easy simple lessons to feel comfortable in the water. showed us around. and took wonderful pics ! had an amazing experience!

This was an outstanding hula show filled with excitement and passion! The dancers were energetics and embodied the Hawaiian spirit. The fire dancer was flawless, and absolutely impressive.
We loved how we also got the personal touch as the dancers came into the audience during the show and we could take photos with the dancers after the show as well. Certainly recommend this!

We had a big group of us go on this tour. It was seamless from the start. Check in was super easy, the boat ride was quick and so much fun!! The band was incredible!! And the donuts were yummy. When we got to the sandbar instructions were given and we got to go explore and have fun! My daughter actually got stung by a jellyfish while snorkelling and it could have ruined our excursion but the staff were excellent. Got her help immediately and were super attentive and caring to make sure she was doing ok. They even shared their own experiences with jellyfish. She got out in the water and had more fun before we had to head back to shore. Thank you for everything!! If we come back to Oahu we would definitely do another tour!!

I was looking forward to horseback trekking, and as expected, I had a great time. Even beginners can enjoy it, so I would love for many people to experience it.

馬でのトレッキングを楽しみにしていましたが、予想通り楽しく過ごせました、初心者でも楽しむことが出来るので多くも方に体験していただきたいと思いました。

The staff included Japanese speakers, so they provided explanations not only in English but also in Japanese, which made me feel comfortable participating. I was able to see whales and pilot whales, and during snorkeling, I encountered a variety of colorful fish. I had a very enjoyable time, and it was a great experience.

日本人スタッフの方がいるので
英語だけではなく日本語での説明をしてくださり
安心して参加出来ました。
鯨やゴンドウイルカも見ることが出来たし
シュノーケリングでは色とりどりな魚に
出会えました。
とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来て
良い経験になりました。

This was my first time parasailing, and I couldn't have imagined how much fun it would be. It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Hawaii. However, the meeting point was a bit hard to find in the morning. It was listed as Ala Wai Boat Harbor, but when I arrived, there were many boats and yachts, and I got lost at first. I received a photo of a small hut as a landmark via email, but there were several huts, and I couldn't tell which one it was. In the end, I asked someone nearby for directions, and they helped me get there safely. If you follow the navigation and go deeper, you will eventually see the hut for the meeting point, so I think it's better not to give up and go all the way as directed by the navigation. I ended up being about seven minutes late, but they welcomed me kindly, and I was able to parasail without any issues. There were only two groups when we went, so we could enjoy it at a relaxed pace.

When we finally went parasailing, we first boarded the boat and headed out to sea. The boat sped up at one point, which added to the thrill and was fun. We were the second group because we took a bit longer to get ready. It was nice to see how the first group was doing. Once we put on our life jackets and secured our belts, we moved to the position to take off, and before I knew it, we were suddenly airborne. I was really surprised by how quickly we took off. At first, I felt a bit scared due to the suddenness, but once I regained my composure, I was able to enjoy it a lot. The view was so beautiful that I didn't feel scared at all. It felt like being on a trapeze in the air. I was truly moved to see all of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above. It felt like just a moment, but surprisingly, the flight time was long enough to enjoy it thoroughly.

Without any particular signal, we were brought down, and in the end, we splashed into the sea. The foreign couple in front of us landed gently, but we were dropped right into the water. My face didn't go under, but my upper body did. Just when I thought I was in the water, I was suddenly lifted back up, which was thrilling and amusing. After that, we were dropped off at the boat, and that was the end of the experience. They also took photos with a DSLR, which can be purchased for $40 per group. Afterward, they transferred the photos from the SD card to my iPhone. They took over 130 photos, and all of them were wonderful, so I think it's worth buying them. We also had someone on the boat record a video for us. Both the photos and videos turned out great. You can even bring a GoPro, making it a fantastic memory. I will never forget that view. I definitely want to do it again when I come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much!

初めてのパラセイリングで最初は想像がつかなかったのですが、本当に楽しくてハワイ旅行のいい思い出になりました。ただ朝に向かって集合場所が分かりづらかったです。集合場所がAla Wai Bort Harberとなっていますが、着いてみるとたくさんのボートやヨットみたいなのがあり最初は迷いました。目印となる小屋のような写真がメールで送られてきたのですが、その小屋もいくつかあってどれか分かりませんでした。結局近くを歩いていた人に聞いて、教えてもらい無事に着くことができました。ナビ通りに進んで、奥まで進むと集合場所の小屋が見えてくるので諦めずにナビ通りに奥まで行った方が良いかと思います。迷ってしまい、集合時間を7分くらい遅れてしまいましたが快く受け入れてくれて無事にパラセイリングをすることができました。私たちのときは2組しかおらず、ゆったりと過ごすことができました。いざパラセイリングをしましたがまず最初にボートに乗り込み、海に出ます。途中船が暴走しますがそれもスリルあって楽しかったです。私たちはやる前にもたついたので2番目でした。前の人がやっている様子が分かったので良かったです。ライフジャケットを着て、ベルトをして飛ぶ位置に移動すると心の準備をする暇もなくあっという間に飛ばされます。本当に急に飛ばされたのでびっくりしました。驚きすぎて落ちそうになって、最初は勢いに恐怖心もありましたが平常心を取り戻すととても楽しむことができました。景色がきれいすぎて全く怖さはなかったです。イメージは空中ブランコのようなイメージです。ダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキの街全てが見下ろせて本当に感動しました。一瞬かと思いましたが、意外と飛行時間も長く十分楽しむことができました。特に何の合図もなく降ろされ、最後には海にポチャンされます。前に飛んでいた外国人のカップルは優しく着水させられていたのに私たちは思いっきり海に落とされました。顔は海に入ることはないですが、上半身は入りました。海に入ったかと思いきやまたいきなり上に飛ばされてスリル満点で面白かったです。その後は船に降ろされて終わりです。一眼レフで写真撮影もしてくれて、1組40ドルで購入することができます。終わってから小屋でSDカードからiPhoneに転送してくれます。130枚以上撮ってくれて、どれも素敵な写真ばかりだったので購入した方がいいかと思います。それと私たちは一緒に乗船した人に動画を撮ってもらいました。写真も動画も良かったです。ゴープロも持ちながらできるのでいい思い出になりました。あの景色は忘れません。またハワイに来たときには絶対にやりたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The cruise was perfect. It was a beautiful and relaxing evening. Highly recommend.

The ranch is spectacular and if you like a bit of country you will love not just the movie sets the farmland and animals. Highly recommend.

The sailing was just over an hour from Waikiki Beach, and we were blessed with great weather and the best location! We were lucky to see tuna, dolphins doing flips, and a mother and baby dolphin jumping as well. The Mai Tai service was good. We were the only Japanese guests, but everyone was friendly, and we had a wonderful time!

ワイキキビーチから１時間ちょっとのセーリング⛵天気にも恵まれ最高のロケーションでした！マグロにイルカの回転ジャンプやイルカ親子のジャンプも見る事が出来てラッキーでしたマイタイのサービスもgood️日本人客は私達だけでしたが、皆さんフレンドリーでとても楽しめました✨

The meeting place is farther than I expected, so I recommend that those staying in hotels in the center of Waikiki head there early.
I experienced this with my daughter. We put our phones in waterproof cases and were able to take photos while hanging them around our necks.
The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above was amazing, with the ocean below being a brilliant blue, and there was absolutely no fear at all.
You won't understand this refreshing feeling unless you experience it.
I highly recommend it.

集合場所は思ったより距離があるのでワイキキ中心部のホテルに泊まっている方は早めに向かうことをお勧めします。
娘と二人で体験。防水ケースに携帯を入れ、首から下げて撮影できました。
上からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドなどの眺めは素晴らしく、下は真っ青な海、怖さなんて全くありませんでした。
この爽快さは体験しないと分かりません。
オススメです。

It was so much fun racing through the magnificent nature on a buggy. After the experience, we had a good laugh at how covered in sand we were. Doing laundry when we got home was a hassle, but it was so amazing that it didn't matter at all. It's essential to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, along with goggles or sunglasses. At the beginning of the experience, there was a time for participants to introduce themselves, and we were the only Japanese group there. That was also a valuable experience. However, it was a bit disappointing that we had to wait a long time for the bus after the experience. But it's an activity that I think everyone should try at least once.

とにかく壮大な大自然の中をバギーで疾走するのが楽しかった。
体験後砂まみれ具合に大笑い。
帰ってからの洗濯が大変でしたが、そんなことどうでもいいと思えるぐらい最高でした。
汚れてもいい服装とゴーグルやサングラスは必須です。
体験の始めに参加者同士で自己紹介する時間があるのですが、日本人は私たち1組でした。それもまた貴重な体験です。
体験が終わってからバスの待ち時間が長かったのが少し残念でした。
でも1回は体験してほしいアクティビティです。

Until we arrived at the site, we were guided in Japanese, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! The water was so clear that we could see the fish beautifully, and it was incredibly fun!
It seems that boats are prohibited at Hanauma Bay, so since you enter from the beach, I think wearing a wetsuit is essential to avoid injury while swimming over the coral reefs!
I had a great time! Thank you very much!

現地に着くまでは、日本語でガイドいただきながら、ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました！！透明度が高いので魚が綺麗に見えて非常に楽しかったです！
ハナウマ湾は船が禁止らしくビーチから入るため、サンゴ礁の真上を泳いだ際に怪我しないようにウェットスーツは必須かと思います！
とても楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！！

During the week, I went parasailing twice! The first time, my wife and I did a 60th birthday parasailing together. Unfortunately, my wife got seasick and felt unwell from the parasailing, but I was totally hooked! Three days later, I went parasailing again, this time with my daughter. The location was amazing! The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was just incredible. I encourage everyone to enjoy parasailing activities as well! They also take wonderful photos for you. The photos are available for a fee, but you can get the data on an SD card. The crew was very entertaining and fantastic! I’m definitely thinking about trying it again.

1週間の間に、2回もパラセイリングをしました～。
最初は妻と二人で還暦パラセイリングをしました～残念ながら妻は船酔いとパラ酔いでダメでしたが、私がハマリまくり、2度めは娘と3日後に再度パラセイリング。最高〜のロケーション。海側からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は最高〜皆さんもパラアクティビティを楽しんでくださ〜い。素敵な写真も撮影してくれま〜す。写真は有料ですがSDカードでデータがもらえます。クルーの方々もとても面白く最高でした〜またチャレンジしようと思いま〜す

We participated as a family of four (two adults and two teenagers). To conclude, I absolutely recommend it! Our family, who tends to be a bit timid, chose the 120m option, but we might have been fine with the 150m as well.

We enjoyed it at the end of March around 4 PM, and the sun was starting to set, making the sunlight softer. We took a lot of photos, and the SD card for two sets was $40. I was too scared to take photos myself while up in the air, so I decided to purchase the SD card.

From the high vantage point over the ocean, we could see Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki, which felt amazing. It was an experience we wouldn't normally have, so I'm glad we took the plunge and signed up. Since we departed from next to Hilton Village, we walked back along the beach to the Sheraton with wet bottoms.

家族４人（大人２名、中高生２名）で参加しました。
結論から申し上げますと、絶対おススメです！ビビリ家族の我が家は、１２０ｍを選びましたが、１５０ｍでもよかったかも。
3月末、16時から楽しみましたが、少し日が傾いており、日差しも柔らかくなった時間帯でした。
写真もたくさん撮ってもらい、SDカードは２組分で＄40でした。上空で自分で撮るのが怖くて、SDカードを購入させてもらいました。
海の上の高い場所から、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを見て、とても気持ち良かったですし、ふだん体験できないことなので、思い切って申し込んで良かったです。
ヒルトンヴィレッジの横から出航だったので、お尻が濡れた帰りは、ビーチを歩いてシェラトンまで戻りました。

On the day of the trip, it was sunny, but there was a bit of a strong wind, and the waves felt high. For those who get seasick, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

We departed on time from the harbor next to Prince Waikiki. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but the views of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the hotels from the sea were beautiful.

The staff were cheerful young men who kindly took photos of each group during the trip. It was also great that we could choose from different time slots: 8:00, 10:30, and 13:00, allowing us to fit it into our schedule.

当日は、晴れていましたが、少し風が強く、波も高いように感じました。船酔いする方は酔い止め必須です。
プリンスワイキキの横のハーバーから、定刻通りに出航しました。残念ながらクジラには会えませんでしたが、海の上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキビーチ、ホテル群の景色も良かったです。
スタッフの方々も、陽気なお兄さんたちで、合間にはグループ毎に写真を撮ってくれたりと、親切でした。
時間帯も、８時、１０時３０分、１３時と選ぶことができて、自分たちの予定に合わせることができたのも良かったです。

I went to Hawaii for the first time. I wanted to see local hula and fire dancing, so I researched and found this show that caught my eye.

Regarding the venue, when I actually went there, I found the area to be very lively and safe, which made me feel comfortable heading there. The access was also great since it was right in front of the Waikiki Shopping Center, where the Waikiki Trolley bus departs. Although the show started at night, I was able to spend the time before it just browsing nearby shops, and it flew by.

When the show began, it started with the history of hula dancing, and I was able to see various costumes and dresses. After the hula, the rock show started. The performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson had the audience in a frenzy. I was able to enjoy the songs I knew and really got into it. I think it's highly recommended for fans. There were also some enthusiastic Michael Jackson fans from overseas who were very excited during the show.

After the rock show, there was a fire dance performance, which had many breathtaking moments that kept my heart racing the whole time.

From start to finish, experiencing it live allowed me to enjoy an incredibly fun time. Regarding infection control measures, there was hand sanitizer available, but wearing masks was not particularly necessary, and we could also cheer during the show. There were no specific announcements about social distancing or avoiding crowded places, but there was enough space between seats, so I think it was possible to maintain distance at one's discretion.

For those planning to attend, it might be a good idea to check in advance which seating area to choose, as it can be a bit confusing. Also, since the show ends after 9 PM, I felt a bit uneasy walking back in areas with fewer people. Knowing a route that takes you along main streets in advance can help you enjoy the after-show atmosphere with peace of mind.

If you go to Hawaii, I definitely recommend checking it out!

初めてハワイに行きました。そこで現地のフラダンスやファイアーダンスを見たいと思い調べてみてこちらのショーが目に止まりました。
会場に関してですが、実際に現地に行ってみると、会場近くは大変栄えており治安も良く安心して向かうことができました。ワイキキトロリーバスの発着駅のワイキキショッピングセンターの目の前なのもあってアクセスもすごくよかったです。また、ショーの時間は夜でしたがそれまでの時間は近くのお店を見ているだけであっという間に過ごすことができました。
ショーが始まってみると歴史とともにフラダンスが始まり様々な衣装、ドレスを見ることが出来ました。フラダンスが終わると次にロックショーが始まりました。エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのショーが始まり周りは大熱狂でした。私も知っている曲ではすごくノリノリで楽しむことが出来ました。ファンの方はすごくおすすめかと思います。海外の方でマイケルジャクソンの熱いファンの方がおり、ショー中も大興奮しておりました。
ロックショー後はファイヤーダンスの演出でしたが見ていてこちらが息を呑むような瞬間も多くずっとハラハラドキドキが止まりませんでした。
最初から最後まで現地で見ることでライブ感を味わうことが出来、最高に楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
感染症対策に関してですが消毒液はありましたがマスクの着用は特に必要なく、またショー中の声出しもできました。
ソーシャルディスタンス、三密を避けたようなアナウンスは特にありませんでしたが席にはゆとりがあったので自身の判断で距離を取ることは可能かと思います。
これから参加する人にアドバイスですが、どのエリアの席を座っていいのか分かりにくいので事前に確認をしておくといいかと思います。また、ショーの後についてですが、ショーの終わる時間が21時過ぎなのもあり帰り道で人通りが少ないところは少々危険に感じました。大通りで帰れるルートを事前に把握しておくと安心してショー後も余韻を楽しんことが出来ると思います。
ハワイに行く際はぜひ行ってみてください。

I have a call from there office they told me there tour guy was no show and they canceled don’t make the same mistake I did go a different way

Really loved this tour as you get to see Arizona and a bit of extra time to explore the park, not tooshort or long just perfect day!

Cousin Lisa is very knowledgeable and very friendly
She is a skillful driver

Very nice spot and excellent stuff! We love it
It is first time for us to try it, but it turned out to be a very worthy and exciting experience, there are a lots of pets for young children to pet there too. The stuff are very patient and experienced, we have a good time there, will be back again!

The trip was so much fun! The crew was amazing and there were so many things to do. I wasn’t going to snorkel but Captain Robin encouraged me, personally took me out to make sure I felt safe and comfortable and showed me multiple turtles! It was the most amazing experience! Thank you for an amazing time!
