All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The crew was great! The entertainers were very good. Our family had a very nice time but were disappointed with the snorkeling. Very limited area with not many fish to see. It was a nice afternoon overall.

Since the morning tour I wanted was fully booked at the time of reservation, I participated in the afternoon tour. When I entered my accommodation details during the booking, they specified the nearest pickup location.

During the tour, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese to assist us after boarding. While snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle up close, creating memories that are hard to experience in daily life. After snorkeling, we enjoyed various activities at our leisure, and the tour concluded.

What I was glad to bring was definitely a waterproof case for my smartphone. I bought it at a 100 yen shop in Japan, and it was fairly usable. It was a bit difficult to operate underwater while snorkeling, so I might have been more satisfied with something of better quality.

Also, a bath towel is important. If you can borrow multiple towels from the hotel, it's better to bring one along. After coming out of the sea, your body gets cold, so having one for drying off and another to wrap around you is great!

予約時は希望の午前中ツアーがいっぱいだったので午後のツアーに参加しました。予約時に宿泊先を入力すると、最寄りのピックアップ場所を指定してもらいました。

ツアーでは乗船後に日本語ができるスタッフさんにもご対応いただきました。シュノーケリングではウミガメを間近で見ることができ、日常ではなかなか体験できない思い出ができました。シュノーケリング後は各々自由なアクティビティを楽しみ、ツアーは終了しました。

持参してよかったのはやはりスマホ防水ケース。日本で100均で買ったものでしたが、まぁまぁの使い勝手でした。シュノーケリング時に水中での操作は難しかったので、もう少し性能がいいものだと満足かも？

あとはバスタオル。ホテルで複数枚借りれれば持って行った方がよいです。海から上がれば体は冷えますし、拭く用と体に羽織る用があればGoodです！

Very well organized
Good directions
Great music
Had a great time
Will recommend to friends

I experienced riding a four-wheeler for the first time, and it was absolutely amazing! The driving can change, so everyone who rides can enjoy it together. The staff were very friendly, and we were able to take a lot of fun photos, creating many memories.

One thing I noticed on the Japanese website regarding clothing is that it mentions long pants, but non-Japanese participants were in short sleeves and shorts! You will get dirty just from riding the buggy. The dust is intense, so you will get quite dirty. It seems better to avoid wearing white clothes. My white t-shirt turned brown, haha. It gets dirty, but it's so much fun, so I definitely recommend it!

四輪バギーを初めて体験しましたがとても最高でした！運転も変わったり出来るので乗った全員で楽しめます。
スタッフの方もとても親切で面白い写真とかもかなり撮れて思い出がたくさん出来ました。

気になったのが日本のサイトで服装についてですが、長ズボンと記載があるのですが日本人以外半袖短パンでした！
バギーに乗るだけで汚れます。
砂埃が凄いのでかなり汚れます。白い服はやめた方が良さそうですよ。私は白のテイシャツが茶色になりました笑笑
汚れますが楽しいので是非おすすめします！

I love the kid-friendly board, my children can enjoy snorkeling without swimming skill. Such a fun and amazing tour, wanna do it again!

John was a nice man and a good driver. We tried to encourage conversation with information about our tour but it didn’t help. A gentleman on the bus gave more information because he had taken a similar tour in June. John did not put his headset on only lifted it occasionally to talk. Like I said a nice man but the tour was long, quiet and boring. Thankfully the other passengers were friendly. Thank you

This was a very good tour. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable of the area. The times at the various stops were more than adequate. I would highly recommend it if you are interested in Pearl Harbor history.

Could you send me the photos you took over there? It would have been great if you could have taken pictures with fewer people in nature!

そちらで撮った写真は送っていただけないのでしょうか？
自然の中でもっと人が映らないように写真撮ってくれたら最高でした！

Had a great time onboard this ship as we went over to the sandbar. Super family friendly, music was great, and the staff on board the ship were incredibly helpful. Would recommend for anyone wanting to headout out to the sandbar for a variety of ocean activities!

We used this for making memories on our honeymoon. It was Saturday afternoon, but I was able to make a reservation just three days in advance without any issues. The location is directly connected to Waikiki Beach, which is great because you can wear your swimsuit and go straight back to the hotel.

Since there were only three groups sharing the ride, the waiting time felt short. As others mentioned, if you're worried about motion sickness, I think it's a good idea to take some medicine beforehand, but I was able to enjoy it without feeling sick. The flight time felt longer than I expected.

The photo fee was $40, so please be careful if you're considering purchasing.

I didn't understand English, but thanks to the enthusiastic staff, I was able to create the best memories!

新婚旅行の思い出作りで利用しました。
土曜のお昼でしたが、3日前でも無事予約が取れました。
立地がワイキキビーチに直結したところにあり、ホテルから直接水着を着てそのまま帰れる立地の良さも良いです。
乗り合わせが3組と少なかったからか、待ち時間も短く感じました。他の方が言っていたように乗り物酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めを飲んでおくと良いと思いましたが、私は酔うことなく終われました。
飛行時間も思っていたより長くあったように感じます。
写真代は値上げしたのか$40でしたので、購入を考えている際はお気をつけください。


英語はわからなかったのですが、盛り上げ上手のスタッフさんのおかげで最高の思い出ができました！

During my previous hike in Manoa, I was captivated by the enchanting atmosphere of the forest. Unfortunately, this time, we had to walk almost entirely in the rain. The photos all turned out gloomy due to the clouds, so the weather was disappointing. Before we started, it was helpful that they lent out rain gear and sticks to those who needed them. The guide's instructions were also enjoyable! For lunch, I had a pastrami sandwich, which was just the right amount and delicious.

以前マノアのハイキングに参加した際、森の幻想的な雰囲気に心奪われました。今回は残念ながら、ほぼずっと雨の中を歩くこととなりました。写真が全部どんより雲のため、天気だけが残念です。スタート前に、雨具とスティックを希望者には貸し出してくれて助かりました。ガイドの方の案内も楽しかったです！ランチは、パストラミサンドにしましたが、ちょうどいい量で美味しかったです。

This tour exceeded all expectations! The crew was outstanding along with the transport accommodations from hotel to the boat. The musicians aboard were nothing short of amazing. You will leave this tour with seeing some of the most beautiful landscape ever. The equipment was top notch along with a great beach experience with snorkeling, kayaks and volleyball. I have been to Hawaii numerous times before and this excursion tops the rest! Mahalo!

There was no shuttle service, and the location was hard to find. I struggled with only English. I wish the buggy course was a bit longer. Given this, the price should also be reconsidered.

送迎もなく場所がわかりずらい、英語onlyで苦労した。バギーのコースももう少し長くしてほしい。これなら値段も考慮すべき。

Four years ago, I participated in this lesson for the first time. It was so impressive that during this family trip, I joined a group lesson (4 English speakers, 2 Japanese) with my younger brother.

After a general explanation, a local instructor who speaks Japanese took care of the two of us on the beach. It was like a completely private lesson! Both my brother (his first time surfing) and I (my second time) were able to ride the waves right away. In fact, I managed to ride all the waves except for one! My brother didn't fall even once! The instructor praised us a lot and also pointed out areas for improvement.

Another surfing instructor told me, "The person teaching you is really amazing."

The photos cost $50 for one participant and $75 for two. Since there's a breakwater nearby, I should have had my family come to take pictures. I didn't have the luxury of taking selfies... haha.

I was exhausted after the lesson, so I'm glad I signed up for it on the last day. I was able to sleep soundly on the plane. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in a lesson here again!

4年前、初めてこのレッスンに参加しました。
それが凄く印象的だったので、今回の家族旅行では、弟と一緒にグループレッスン(英語圏4人、日本人2人)に参加させて頂きました。

全体説明後、ビーチでは日本語も話せる現地の先生1人が我々2人を担当してくれました。完全にプライベートレッスン状態！！
私(サーフィン2回目)も弟(サーフィン1回目)も一発で波に乗れました。
というか、私は1回以外全部波に乗れました！弟は1回も落ちなかったです！
先生はいっぱい褒めてくれるし、改善点も教えてくれました。

他のサーフィンレッスンの先生から、"あなたに教えてくれてる人はとても凄い人なのよ"と声をかけられました。

写真は1人参加だと$50、2人だと$75、、でした。
近くに堤防もあるので、家族に写真を撮りに来て貰えば良かったです。
自撮りしてる余裕はないので…笑

レッスン後はクタクタだったので、最終日に申し込んで良かったです。機内で爆睡出来ました。
またハワイに行ったら、絶対ここでまたレッスンに参加したいです！

As expected, the sea in January is cold, and although it was sunny, there was hardly any direct sunlight, which made it tough. The children were shivering.

When we arrived at the sandbar, it should have been around low tide to high tide, but the water level had already risen, and it wasn't dry land, which was disappointing.

However, we did get to see sea turtles and manta rays. Also, snorkeling was quite tough, and taking care of the kids while doing it was pretty exhausting.

やはり1月の海は寒く、晴れてはいたが直射日光がほぼなかったのでつらかった。子供はくちびるを震わせたりしていた。
サンドバーも到着時には干潮から満潮の間くらいだったはずだがすでに潮位が上がっており、陸地にはなっておらず残念。
ただウミガメやマンタには会えました。
あとシュノーケリングは結構タフで子供をケアしながらの実施はかなり疲れました。

It was a tour in the morning, but because it had rained the day before and there was a little rain on the day itself, the sea was a bit cold and didn't have the beauty of a heavenly sea. However, as it got closer to noon, it started to clear up, and gradually beautiful scenery began to appear.

Also, I was able to see sea turtles and enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding. The tour crew spoke Japanese and were very friendly and easy to talk to, which made it a lot of fun!

Next time I come, I want to see the best scenery!

朝からのツアーでしたが、前日に雨が降っていたことと、当日少し雨が降ったため、海は少し冷たく、天国の海というほどの美しさはありませんでした。
しかし、お昼近くになると晴れ始め、次第に綺麗な景色が見え始めました。

また、ウミガメが見れたことやサップも楽しめたこと、ツアーのクルーの方々は日本語も話せることや、とても気さくで話しやすく良い方々だったこともあり、とても楽しかったです！

次回はきた際には最高の景色を見たいです！

The show and entertainment were amazing, but the vegan options for food were surprisingly underwhelming.

You're in great hands with Chad. He was an excellent instructor and underwater guide. He was very thorough in prepping us. We were able to see a lot of cool stuff, including a turtle!

Good
Surprised to the beautiful place nice expedition.
But want to see more of Jurassic parc
Take other pack if you want to see the movie

For Jurassic Valley with door of Jurassic parc on the other side you must Take the other Movie pack and not this!!!

We learned a lot about the Polynesian culture through the activities and demonstrations. Dinner was okay. But the breath of life show after was fantastic.

I had been to Angel's Sea once before, but this was my first time on a snorkeling tour. I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and manta rays at Angel's Sea! And having a hamburger for lunch while on the water was the best. The guides explained everything in a way that was easy for Japanese people to understand, so I had no worries and enjoyed myself. Since it wasn't just a boat for Japanese people, I was able to interact with people from other countries, which was also fun (we exchanged snacks we brought with us, laughing together).

This was my first time snorkeling, and I was amazed to see the fish up close! Since it was the ocean, I was a bit worried about being swept away by the current, but there were people nearby, so I felt safe and enjoyed it. It was a bit cold on the boat, so I think a larger and thicker bath towel would be better. Also, it's best to leave all jewelry at the hotel. I found that the area between my chin and neck surprisingly got sunburned, so it's better to apply sunscreen thoroughly. I went on the last day of my stay in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I did. I highly recommend this tour!

以前天使の海は一度行ったことがあったのですが、シュノーケル付きのツアーは初めてでした。天使の海では海亀とマンタが見れて大満足！そしてランチのハンバーガーも海の上で食べると最高ですね。日本人向けに説明をして頂けるので何も不安な点も無く楽しめました。日本人のみの船ということでは無いので他の国の方とも交流ができてそれもまた楽しかったです。(お互い持ってきたスナックを交換こしたり笑)
シュノーケルは初挑戦でしたが、魚が近くで見れて感動しました！！海なので多少潮に流されそうになりますが近くに人がいるので安心して楽しめました。船の上は寒かったりもするのでバスタオルは大きめで厚めの方がいいと思います。あとはジュエリーは全てホテルに置いてくべし。日焼け止めはあごと首の間が意外と焼けたので、念入りに塗った方がいいです。ハワイ滞在の最後の日に行きましたが本当に行って良かったです。おすすめのツアーです。

I participated with my 65-year-old mother!
We were in a team of eight, which included two groups of six people from Korea and the two of us.

At first, we watched a video in English on how to drive, but they also showed us a separate video with Japanese subtitles.

The guide spoke entirely in English, so we couldn't understand everything, but they explained the necessary safety information with gestures, and we had plenty of practice time, which made us feel secure before setting off.

I initially thought it might be a bit difficult for my mother due to her age, but there were some older participants in the other groups (not Japanese), and above all, we were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan, which made my mother the happiest.

The guide took a lot of photos for us, and the Korean group we participated with were very kind, creating truly wonderful memories.

65歳の母と参加しました！
一緒のチームになったのは韓国人グループ2組6人と、私たち母娘2人の計8人でした。


最初、運転方法を英語のビデオで見るのですが、私たちは別で日本語字幕付きのビデオを見せてくれました。


ガイドの方は全て英語で話すので、全てを理解することはできませんでしたが、安全に必要なことは身振り手振りで説明してくれましたし、練習時間もたっぷりとってくれたので安心して出発することができました。


最初は母の年齢には少し難しいかな？と思いましたが、他のグループにはもう少し年配の方（日本人ではなく）も参加していましたし、何より日本ではなかなか経験できないことができて、母が1番楽しんでいました＾＾


ガイドさんにたくさん写真も撮っていただき、一緒に参加した韓国人グループの方々にも優しくしていただき、本当に良い思い出になりました。

All I can say, this group is awesome. We had the sandbar adventure last January 4, 2023. Despite the weather didn’t cooperate, they still made sure that we have a good time. Supposedly it’s a big group, but because it’s raining that day, some parties cancelled their trip while we just want to get over it and don’t want to be back the next day. It turned out to be an awesome adventure for us. My kids still did their banana boat ride and bumpers as well as paddle boarding and snorkeling. And my daughter even had a chance to have duet with my HERO!!! (It’s a long story).
I’m so thankful with them coz my kids really enjoyed this adventure. We all had a good time.

Great experience! Ship staff were so patient. Would highly recommend!

It was my first time on a four-wheeler, and it was quite thrilling. Everyone in the family was able to enjoy it. With the beautiful scenery, I think it became a great memory.

四輪バギーは初めてでしたが、かなりスリリングで家族のみんなが楽しむことができました。いい景色も相まって、よい思い出になったと思います
。

At first, I was anxious about the tour being conducted only in English, but when I asked the staff with a translation device, "Is there anyone who can speak Japanese?" they kindly brought over a staff member who spoke Japanese. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy everything from meals to activities!

最初は英語だけのツアーで不安でしたが、スタッフに翻訳機で「日本語対応できる方いますか＿」と質問すると、親切に日本語が喋られるスタッフを連れてきてくれました。
おかげで、食事からアクティビティまで楽しくできました！

The sandbar was wonderful, but the guide's character and the way they explained everything in a polite and interesting manner in Japanese made for a great memory. My 4-year-old child was able to play safely. The float with the yellow underwater view was a favorite among the kids.

サンドバーの素晴らしさもありますが、ガイドさんのキャラクターや日本語でも丁寧におもしろく説明いただけて、とても良い思い出になりました。
4歳の子供も安心して遊べました。黄色の水中が見える浮き輪？が子どもたちのお気に入りでした。

It was a very thrilling tour. The excitement of boarding a submarine on the ocean (of course, safety was taken into consideration) and the sunken ships and planes after diving felt like something out of a movie.

とても迫力あるツアーでした。
海上で潜水艦に乗るところからワクワクするスリル（もちろん安全に考慮されてました）、潜水後も沈没した船や飛行機が映画のようでした。

You can enjoy horseback riding for two hours through the forest and grasslands. The view of the sea from the hill and the grasslands that look like they were used for filming Jurassic Park were beautiful. Our cute guide explained various historical facts and stories in a fast-paced manner. It was my first time horseback riding, and I had a great experience. I look forward to doing it again next time. If you're not fluent in English, I think it's better not to lead the group while riding. There are many paths that can be confusing about where to go, but that adds to the wild charm.

林の中、草原をぽくぽくと乗馬を2時間楽しめます。おかの上からの海の眺めや、ジェラシックパークの撮影につかわれたような草原など、かわいいガイドさんが、一生懸命早口でいろいろ、歴史やいわれなどを説明してくれました。初めての乗馬でしたが、とてもいい経験できました。また、次回楽しみたいです。英語が堪能でなければ、乗馬での先頭には、ならないほうが、いいと思います。どちらに行けばよいか悩むよな小道が多いですが、それもワイルドでよいです。

I had a great time with the show, which featured a variety of attractions like Michael, an Elvis impersonator, Hawaiian dance, and fire dance, keeping us entertained throughout. It's also within walking distance from the Hilton, making it a nice stroll. As a bonus, it includes a buffet. With the group, there were quite a number of people, seated at long tables of about ten. Since everything is in English, if you can communicate to some extent, you can enjoy conversations with the guests next to you. I had some light conversations with a family from the mainland. Their daughter was adorable. One downside is that there is quite a bit of time to wait for the buffet, making it a bit challenging to pass the time.

マイケル、プレスリーのそっくりさん、ハワイアンダンス、ファイアーダンスなど、次から次のアトラクションで、飽きさせない構成のショーで、十分に楽しめました。また、ヒルトンからも歩いていける距離なので、お散歩がてらにもよかったです。おまけと言っては何ですが、ビュッフェ付きです。団体さんも含めるとかなりの人数。順番に10人程度の長テーブル単位。すべて英語ですので、ある程度コミュニケーションできるとお隣のお客さんとも会話を楽しめるかと思います。私は、本土からのご家族とたわいのない会話。娘さんがかわいかったです。ビュッフェの順番まで時間が結構ありますので、時間つぶすのが難点です。
