All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!

I highly recommend this, especially for families!

My family had a great time!

On the fourth day of our honeymoon, we went horseback riding! After checking in, we listened to an explanation in Japanese on a monitor and were guided to ride the horses. After that, the instructions were in English, but the instructors and staff were all very nice, which made me feel at ease. Riding through such magnificent scenery, which words cannot fully express, was a precious experience, and I’m really glad I did it!

After the approximately two-hour tour, I wanted to eat a hamburger at the same facility, but I missed the 4 PM cutoff, so if you're interested, please pay attention to the time! I was so satisfied with this tour that I would love to do it again if I have the chance to come back to Hawaii!

新婚旅行4日目に行きました！
チェックインをしたらモニターで日本語での説明を聞き、案内され馬に乗りました。その後は英語での対応でしたがインストラクターやスタッフの皆さんとてもいい方で安心しました。言葉では伝わらないほど壮大な景色の中、馬に乗りながら歩けたのは貴重な経験で本当にやってよかったです！！
約2時間のツアーが終わったら同じ施設にあるハンバーガーを食べようと思いましたが、16時までで間に合わなかったので気になる方は時間に気をつけてください！またハワイに来る機会があったらやりたいくらいこのツアーに参加できて大満足です！

entire crew was so wonderful. Very attentive , asked everyone where they were fro and really interacted with guests one on one . I mean I just loved it and would do it 20 more times

The sandbar was unfortunately not very sandbar-like due to the tides, but my daughter was really happy to see a sea turtle up close. It was an experience that is hard to come by in Japan. Also, the spam musubi made by the staff was delicious.

サンドバーは潮の満ち引きの関係で、あまりサンドバーらしくなく残念ではありましたが、ウミガメを至近距離で見られたのは娘も本当に喜んでいました。中々日本ではできない体験が出来ました。またらスタッフが作ってくれたスパムにぎりが美味しかった

I participated in other activities as well, but my high school-aged child said this was the most fun. My elementary school-aged daughter was scared of snorkeling and couldn't get in the water, so she didn't enjoy it as much. I thought it was great to experience various cultures through songs and dances. There were many staff members, so I felt safe participating. I highly recommend this tour.

他のアクティビティにも参加しましたが高校生の子供は1番楽しいと言ってました。小学生の娘はシュノーケリングが怖くて中々入水出来ずイマイチとの感想てました。歌や踊りなど色々な文化にも触れられて私は良かったと思います。
スタッフも多く安心して参加させて頂きました
大変オススメ出来るツアーだと思います。

We arrived at the location with a rental car as a family of four. Since our children had no experience with snorkeling, we went a bit early to choose the right size wetsuits and to learn how to use the equipment. The staff were all very kind. The unique boat allowed us to feel very close to the movements and behaviors of the creatures during the whale watching cruise. I felt that the explanations about marine life were also very professional. Finally, we could jump in and enjoy snorkeling, which I think provided a fun experience that you can't have on other whale watching tours. It was my first time in Hawaii, but I would like to participate in this company's small group, hands-on tours again next time.

家族4人でレンタカーに乗って現地入りしました。子供がシュノーケリング未経験のため少し早めに行き、ウェットスーツのサイズを決めたり道具の使い方を教えてもらいました。スタッフの方々は皆さんとても親切でした。独自のボートはホエールウォッチングクルーズの中でも最も水面に近く生き物の動きや様子をとても近くで感じることができました。海洋生物に関する解説も専門的であると感じました。最後はそこに飛び込んでシュノーケリングを楽しめるので、他のホエールウォッチングツアーでは体験できない楽しさがあると思いました。初のハワイでしたが、次行った時もこの会社の少人数で体感型のツアーに参加したいと思いました。

It was enjoyable to see the participants from various countries gathering in their colorful aloha shirts. The children were delighted to receive leis and have tattoos drawn on their arms. The dancing was more authentic and sophisticated than what I saw on the dinner cruise. The food might have been better on the dinner cruise. One downside was that participants had to wait in a long line before the event started.

参加する多国籍の皆さんが種々のアロハシャツを着て集まりそれだけでも楽しかったです。子供はレイをかけてもらい腕にtattoを描いてもらって喜んでいました。踊りはディナークルーズで観たものよりも本格的で洗練されていました。食事はディナークルーズの方がよかったかも知れません。少し残念だった点は、開始前に参加者が長蛇の列を作って待たなければならない点です。

I visited on Wednesday night.
Dinner while listening to live music was very nice!
The staff were friendly, and the food was very delicious.
The portions were quite large, so I took home what I couldn't finish.
There was a long line for those without reservations, and they were waiting quite a while (about 30 minutes for one group), so it was good that I made a reservation for the course.
This was the most memorable experience of my stay in Hawaii.

水曜日の夜に伺いました。
生歌を聞きながらのディナーとても良かったです！
スタッフの方の感じも良かったしお料理もとても美味しかったです。
料理の量が多めだったので食べきれない分はテイクアウトして持ち帰りました。
予約なしの人たちは行列ができていてかなり待ってた（一組大体3０分程の待ち）ので、コースにはなりますが予約していって良かったです。
今回のハワイ滞在で最も心に残っている体験です。

The back of Prince Waikiki serves as the meeting place, and everyone gathers there at the scheduled time. The departure was on time as planned.

Inside the boat, music was playing, creating a great atmosphere. Drinks can be purchased at the bar counter on the first floor.

As for the whales, we couldn't see them up close, but we saw many, so I was very satisfied! The day I participated, the weather was cloudy, and the wind was very strong, making the waves quite rough, which caused some people to feel seasick. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to bring some medication.

prince waikikiの裏が待ち合わせ場所になっていて集合時間になるとみなさん集まってきます。時間は予定通りに出航してくれました。
船内も音楽がかかっていて良い雰囲気です。ドリンクは1階のバーカウンターで購入できます。
肝心のクジラはあまり近くでは見れなかったですが、たくさん見れたので大満足です！
私が参加した日は天気は曇り、風がとても強かったので波がとても荒く船酔いしている人もいました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを持って行った方が良いと思います。

I wanted to see the sandbar, but even though I chose a tour date that would arrive at the sandbar right at low tide, the water level was still up to my waist at the end of January due to the rainy season. However, I knew this from my research, so I enjoyed paddleboarding and snorkeling instead. On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and the water wasn't cold. The staff were very kind, taking videos for us and answering our questions patiently, which was really helpful. Even without seeing the sandbar, I had a great time, but if I have the chance again, I would love to join a tour during the dry season.

サンドバーを見たかったんですが、干潮の時間ぴったりにサンドバーに着くツアーの日付けを選んでも、1月末は雨季の為、やはり水位はお腹くらいまでありました。
でも、調べて分かっていたことなので、パドルボードやシュノーケルをして楽しみました。
当日は、天候に恵まれて、水も冷たくありませんでした。
スタッフの方たちも、とても親切で、ムービーを撮っていただいたり、質問にも丁寧に答えていただいて、助かりました。
サンドバーが見えてなくても楽しめますが、もしまた機会があれば、乾季にツアーに参加できたらなと思います。

Both our tour guides were great. They were funny and attentive. I really enjoyed learning about the history of the land and driving the atv . Def recommend wearing the gear they provide, it gets dusty and you get dirty. It was a lot of fun.

This was a charming, intimate, beautiful, culturally informative, entertaining, and interactive experience from end to end. I cannot recommend it highly enough. My husband and I embarked on the sunset tour and I will save up my dollars and do it again in the future. The 4 person crew covered more things than I expected. They are very passionate about their home and it’s history, and educate and support many different people besides tourists.This is a good way to start a visit to the island as it will add more perspective to your visit overall.

It was a small whale, but I was able to see it spouting water. It's a shame I couldn't see the jumps I was hoping for. Apart from the whale, I was able to see a beautiful rainbow, which made for a great experience.

小さい鯨でしたが、潮吹きが見ることができました。
期待していたジャンプは見れなかったのが残念です。
鯨とは別に綺麗な虹が見ることができ、いい経験となりました。

We came to Waikiki for our honeymoon. Since my wife wanted to see a Hawaiian show, we decided to book this experience. The welcome, dinner, hula practice during dinner, and hula show were all exactly as we imagined and were fantastic.

During the meal, there was a couple next to us who came from Los Angeles. The atmosphere was so good that we were able to get to know them well. Additionally, we were able to see shows featuring performers resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, which was very enjoyable.

Such a fun tour, you'll drive an ATV through Kualoa Ranch. beautiful view.

The bus driver also provided guidance during the ride, and the captain explained things in Japanese, making it a fun and安心な体験!

バスの運転手さんも、運転中にガイドをしてくれたり、
キャプテンも、日本語で説明してくれて
楽しく安心な体験になりました！！

Great captain, great crew, great friends, beautiful night. Who good ask for more!

The water was higher than I expected, reaching waist height. I aimed to go during low tide, but I couldn't see a very beautiful sandy beach. However, the water was clear, and snorkeling was amazing. There were many fish and turtles, and I was able to swim alongside them. I also enjoyed various experiences like stand-up paddleboarding. It was a lot of fun. The explanations in Japanese made me feel secure during the experience. I definitely want to check the low tide again when I visit Hawaii next time.

思ったより海の水も腰の高さまであり、
干潮をねらって行ったのですが
なかなか綺麗な砂浜は見れませんでしたが、
海の中も綺麗でシュノーケリングは最高でした。
魚やカメさんもたくさんいて
一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。
またsupやいろいろな体験ができて
楽しかったです。
日本語の説明もあり安心して体験できました。
ぜひまたハワイに行った時は
干潮を調べて体験したいと思います。

Our tour guide is Deno. He is very knowledgeable and funny. He takes well care of us. We are happy to book any other tour with him.

This is one of the most thrilling activities I have done in my decades of traveling to Hawaii. Such an incredible value! The crew was amazing. Riding the waves as you take in the majestic views of Waikiki made my birthday morning memorable. Thank you so much!

This tour was worth every penny. The sites and culture we experienced were beyond our expectations. The tour guide was so friendly and her knowledge of each and every site visited and of the Hawaiian culture and history was beyond outstanding. This tour has to be the highlight of our visit to the Big Island. If you want an exciting, exhilarating, beautiful, and culturally immersive experience this tour will meet your every expectation.

The family thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We learned so much and appreciate the service of the military. Thanks for this tour. We could easily have stayed for longer.

My spouse and I tried surfing for the first time together. Initially, we just hoped to be able to stand up by the end of the lesson, but surprisingly, I managed to stand up on my first attempt. After repeating it several times, I was even able to strike a pose while standing by the end. Thanks to the cheerful and kind staff, we enjoyed this quick activity immensely.

It was also fun to communicate with participants from various countries while surfing (even if you can't speak English, it's fine to go with the flow; they will cheer you on if you catch a wave well). Additionally, there’s an option to have the day's activities filmed (with drone footage and photos), which I highly recommend for taking home memories.

You can store your belongings in lockers, so it's convenient during your travels. I participated right after climbing Diamond Head early in the morning, and it was no problem at all. The area around the surfing lesson has shallow waters with some rocks, so it might be good to have band-aids and disinfectant just in case.

夫婦揃って初めてのサーフィンに挑戦しました。
当初は、レッスンの最後までに立ち上がれるようになればいいくらいの気持ちで参加しましたが、なんと1回目で立ち上がることに成功。
その後も何度も繰り返して、最後の方には立ち上がってポーズを決めることができるまでになりました。
明るく親切なスタッフの皆さんのおかげで、あっという間のアクティビティを楽しむことができました。
色々な国の方が参加されているので、その人たちともコミュニケーションを取りながらサーフィンをすることができるのも楽しかったです。(英語はできなくてもその場のノリで大丈夫。上手く波にのることができたら褒めてくれます。)
また、オプションで当日の模様を撮影してもらうことが出来る(ドローンを用いた映像と写真)ので、思い出に持ち帰ることもおすすめです。
ロッカーに荷物を預けることができるので、旅の途中にもOK。早朝ダイヤモンドヘッド登頂からそのまま参加しましたが、問題なしです。
サーフィンレッスン付近は浅瀬で所々岩があるので、万一に備えてバンドエイドや消毒液があるとなお良いかもしれません。

This time, I watched a show as part of a limited number of monitors. I attended with my spouse, and I noticed a few other Japanese people in the audience. The seats were in one of the last four rows, and since it was open seating, we were able to sit almost in the middle.

■ Show Structure
It featured Hawaiian songs, popular past hits like those of Michael Jackson, and fire dancing.

■ Impressions
You can hear live performances of songs by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. As others have mentioned, it would be unfair to call it mere impersonation, as the performers have outstanding vocal abilities. I wasn't familiar with many of Elvis Presley's songs, but I had a great time. There was interaction with the audience, and the backup dancers and live music were of impressive quality. Songs from the Disney movie Moana were also performed, which I think children would enjoy as well. While you can find free hula and fire dancing performances in places like shopping malls, the quality of this show is very high, so I recommend attending this even if it's just for the show itself.

今回、人数限定のモニターでショーを観ました。
夫婦での鑑賞で、他にも日本人の方はチラホラ見かけました。
席は後ろから4列のどれかでよく、自由席だったためほぼ真ん中に座れました。

■ショーの構成
ハワイの歌、マイケル・ジャクソンなどの過去の人気ソング、ファイヤーダンスといった感じです。

■感想
エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンの生歌を聴けます。
他の方も記載されていますが、ただの物真似と言うと失礼で歌唱力バツグンの方が歌います。
エルビス・プレスリーは知らない曲が多かったのですが、すごい楽しめました。
観客との交流があったり、バックダンサーや生演奏もすごい完成度で圧巻です。
ディズニー映画のモアナの曲も歌われ、子供でも楽しめるのではないかと思います。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスは無料で観られるところはショッピングモールなどにありますが、ショーとしての完成度が高いため、ショーのみのプランでもいいので、こちらを鑑賞されるのをオススメします。

This ATV tour was none less than amazing! Our tour guide Keoki, was amazing. His level of interest and understanding of the land's history was amazing. He was funny, informative, and very engaged in allowing us to have both a fun and educational experience. I highly recommend this tour. It rained and we were worried it was going to be canceled I am so glad that it was not! It was muddy and fun, and the views were breathtaking.
We took a group of six and it was definitely a VIP experience.
It is a must-do and Family oriented. He brought us a homemade snack and drinks as well. We laughed and laughed at his jokes and fun personality.

This tour was excellent and would recommend to those who visit Oahu island! Our tour guide BK was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor and his home. The visit to the USS Arizona Memorial was a very moving experience.

Ryan and Mark were a great team and the boat was a lot of fun. The dolphins came out for a play and it was a wonderful experience.

First off the tour guide and motor coach driver were so awesome. Two women who did an amazing job giving us the perfect experience. It was so nice having the tour to get you there, navigate all the areas, get tickets for admission prior, and admission/time to see the Arizona Memorial. Great lunch as well in the Aviation Museum. The only drawback was we had to go to the airport to pick up some from another island flying in for the tour. It did take away time I think we may have had on Pearl. More time there would have been nice. Definitely would recommend this way to see Pearl Harbor.

The Hanauma Bay tour, which resumed in February, had a limited number of participants, so I felt safe joining.

I participated in the afternoon, and the low tide made everything look beautiful. The water is shallow, so it's reassuring even for beginners. They also taught us how to handle situations when water gets into the mask, and we gradually progressed, so I wasn't scared. For those who still find it challenging, the instructor stays with you the whole time.

I was very satisfied to see a variety of colorful fish and turtles. It's also comforting that communication in Japanese is perfectly fine.

2月から再開したハナウマ湾ツアー、人数制限もされていて安心して参加できました。

午後の参加でしたが、引き潮で綺麗にみえました。
浅めなので初めてでも安心です。
水がマスクに入ってしまったときの対処法なども教えてもらいながら徐々に進んでいくので怖くありません。
それでも大変な方はずっと先生についてもらえます。

色とりどりの魚にカメもみられて大変満足でした。
日本語で大丈夫なのも安心です。

The day we experienced was unfortunately rainy, but since it was just a light rain, the event went ahead as planned. Once we started, we had so much fun that we forgot about the rain. However, even though I took motion sickness medication, I struggled with seasickness towards the end, so it's essential for those who need it to take motion sickness medication.

私たちが体験した日はあいにくの雨でしたが、小雨であったため決行されました。
いざスタートすると雨なんて忘れてしまうぐらい楽しかったです。
ただ、酔い止めを飲んでいったのにも関わらず、終盤は船酔いが辛かったので酔い止めを飲む必要のある人は必須です。
