All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I had an amazing time.
My first experience with an electric mountain bike was really scary, but once I got used to it, I was able to zoom through the stunning mountain and sea views at incredible speeds—it felt fantastic! I think it's more suited for younger people; it might be tough for those in their 50s. Also, with just basic conversational English skills, I often struggled to understand the explanations for setting up the electric bike. But basically, there are four modes, and it was a simple operation of just changing the mode for uphill and downhill.

It was a beginner course, but the foreign participants had long legs and were pedaling at quite a fast speed, so I was doing my best to keep up. The instructor, Fallen, was amazing—funny, cute, and kind, and I became a fan of hers. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to do this again. However, I think 20,000 yen without transportation is a bit high, so I hope they can work on that.

めちゃくちゃ楽しかった。
初の電動マウンテンバイクはめちゃくちゃ怖かったけど慣れたら圧巻の山海の間を爆速できて最高に気持ちいい！！年齢的に若い人向けだと思う。50代は厳しいかな…あと日常英会話程度の英語力だと電動自転車の設定の説明とか理解できない事が多かった。でも要は4モードあって、坂道や下り坂でモードを変えるだけのシンプルな操作だった。

初級コースだったけど外国人の人達足長いしスイスイかなり速いスピードでこいで遅れを取らない様にと必死だった。
インストラクターのfallen さんがAmazingな方で面白くてかわいくて優しくてファンになった。又ハワイ行ったら絶対やりたい。送迎なしで2万は高いのでそこどうにかして欲しいです。涙

The Captin Bruce Cruise and swimming experience was amazing. All of the boat crew members had great attitudes and made this a very memorable day. The crew was always right there to help all family's feel very important and helped in make a everlasting memory for all ages.

This was my family's first trip out on the Ocean. The crew helped us find the best places to see all underwater sea life fish and coral. We got to get right up to all the Turtles as they were resting in there natural environment or help us all swimming around to make these memories of a life time. I would love to be able to come back so I can make reservations with this same group.

It was perfect. Such friendly staff. So safe and so much fun. My 1 year old and 4 year old kiddos had such a blast. We have booked through Paradise Bay 2 years because we were staying there, and this time around was so much better. Live band with amazing voices. Just a great experience. Mahalo

Whatever I say will not do the experience any justice. Jesse and Jeremiah with the music and entertainment was sublime Lifeguards were nice and very helpful. activities were beyond my expectation. Clearly well put together

The crew was super attentive. We had a great time! They kept the drinks coming and the trip was beautiful.

This was one of the best activities for the money on our trip . The crew was amazing, it was a great time and can’t wait to do it again !

We participated in our first horseback riding experience as a couple over the age of 60. The explanations were in English and completely confusing! (The video was in Japanese, so that was fine.) There was a Japanese person in the same group who was fluent in English, which was a great help. The horse I rode was very smart and it was wonderful. My husband's horse kept stopping to eat grass from the beginning to the end, which made it quite challenging. It was our first experience, but we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature and create great memories.

P.S. The girl who was our guide was always attentive, very kind, and adorable. Thank you for your care.

還暦を過ぎた夫婦で初の乗馬体験に参加しました。説明が英語でチンプンカンプン！（ビデオは日本語なのでOK）同じグループに日本人の方がいらして英語が堪能な方だったので助かりました。私が乗ったお馬さんがお利口でとても良かったです。主人のお馬さんは最初から最後まで何度も草を食べ立ち止まる事が多く手こずっていました。初めての体験でしたが、大自然の景色を見ながら楽しむ事ができ良い思い出ができました。

ガイドの女の子がいつも気にかけてくれてとても親切で可愛いかったです。お世話になりました。

The timing was perfect and the scenery was amazing. I went alone, so I had various concerns, including about my English, but the staff member Kevin was very kind, and I was able to have a really enjoyable time.♡

時間帯も最高で景色も最高でした。
1人で行ったので英語も含め色々と不安でしたがスタッフのkevinさんがとても親切にしてくださったのでとても楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました♡

When I handed over the voucher, they guided me to my seat. The seat was a bit far from the stage, but there were some spontaneous hula dancers, which made it lively. Regarding the order, when I showed the paper, they only asked about the main dish, and since there were two of us, we received one of each type. I was very satisfied with the attentive service. The portion sizes were quite generous, and I couldn't finish everything. I definitely want to go again.

バウチャーの紙を渡すと席に案内してくれました。
席はステージから若干遠い遠いところでしたが、飛び入りでフラダンスをする方など盛り上がりました。
オーダーについては、紙を見せたら、メインのみ聞かれて、それ以外は2人だったので、１種類ずつ出てきました。非常に丁寧に対応してもらう大満足でした。
食事の量は、結構あって、食べきれませんでした。
また、行きたいなぁと思います。

This was an awesome experience! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and first time snorkelers. The crew was very informative and helpful. They were fun and clearly enjoyed their jobs! We were able to see so many turtles up close as well as hold a sea urchin! This has definitely sparked our want to go scuba diving now!

We had a blast! This was the first activity we did during our trip and it did not disappoint! They served donuts, played live music, and had plenty of activities to do. Our favorite experience was the snorkeling! The reefs were so healthy and we saw lots of fish! It's BYOB and there is a store to purchase drinks and snacks before you board. Everyone was super nice and we made friends along the way! Great way to start our trip!

The farm ground are awesome, you catch glimpses of the ocean, and the horses are excellent trained!

This was such a fun experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable about Hawaii culture and the location history. We sat in the back of the jeep which was exciting and a very turbulent! We went into the experience excited about seeing movie sets (which we did and were super cool) but came out of it more amazed by the culture and views! Bonus: Lots of animal spotting's too!

Our three guides (Liz, Carter, and Kiki- may be wrong about the names, sorry) gave us an amazing experience and were so fun! I felt safe the entire time and felt confident by the end to go upside down. I ziplined side by side with my husband and loved every minute! The views are absolutely breathtaking! If you're an adrenaline junkie, this is an absolute must! If you're not, I would still recommend this to try something new, exciting, and maybe even conquer a fear!

No USS Arizona, it seems like it is getting hard to get the tickets the companies were saying, rest was great though!

Wonderful trip! The staff was friendly, beautiful views, and a fun environment. It was the perfect addition to our trip. Highly recommend!!

The tour was great. Our tour guy Big Tony made it exceptionally great. He was fun and very informative. He made us feel welcomed and was very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of the island. He made sure we were comfortable and went out of his way to even take pictures for us. I would definitely recommend this tour and hopefully you get Big Tony.

Totally awesome experience and had a ton of fun on the water. Went for the banana boat and bumper ride upgrade. Great and friendly crew! Definitely good to be aware of the tide tho. Unfortunately none of the sandbar was above the water while we were there due to high tide. Was a great experience nonetheless!

I took my 8 year old daughter who is not comfortable on horses but with the help of the two ladies, she loved the whole experience. Well worth the drive out and the price for such a great day with beautiful scenery.

The drive to the ranch is also beautiful. Driving up into the forest was so amazing the trees and the vegetation was so lush and beautiful. The mountain range is ahh inspiring. My wife and myself were pinching ourselves because we couldn’t believe what we were seeing. It was truly magnificent, if your on the fence let push and throw you off it. You need to see this location we had the best time on our ATV tour. The tour takes you across the ranch with stops along the way to take in the incredible views and some history, traditions including how the ranch came to be and movie and tv history. There were so many tours available including horseback riding tour, zip lines, ebike tour, bus tours to movie and tv sites. We had a quick bite in the visitors center before we jumped back on the bus to head back to our hotel. (I noticed at the last minute, I accidentally reserved a tour to the Ranch “without transportation” and I contacted Veltra and they quickly adjusted my to tour include transportation thank you Veltra)

I took my daughter and her fiancé on this adventure for an early Christmas gift. The boat was clean, the crew friendly and fun, and the whole experience felt very safe.
The take-off and landing were so smooth and easy. The views from 1000 feet up were breathtaking!
The crew took lots of pictures that you could purchase for $40–they downloaded the photos to my phone and also gave me the SD card. Definitely worth it! We will do this again!

Snorkeling was a bit painful as I bumped my shin on the coral and scraped it, but kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were fun. The staff were kind and friendly. The highlight was when I was paddleboarding and they said, "Look, there's a turtle!" and took me right over to see it. I was so moved to see a swimming turtle up close for the first time. Thank you, Hideo & Midori.

シュノーケリングはサンゴでちょっとスネをぶつけて､擦りむいて痛かったけど、カヤックやサップは面白かったです。スタッフの方が親切でフレンドリー。1番はサップをしていた時に亀がいるよ〜。と言ってすぐ近くまで一緒に行ってくれた事。初めて泳いでいる亀さんをすぐ近くで見ることが出来て感動しました。ありがとうございましたhideo&midori

Had a very chilled hour cruise with skipper ji and crew
Plenty of drinks
Well worth it and would go again

We had the most amazing experience! The crew was wonderful. Made us feel like Ohana. Kept us safe and let us do our thang. We rode the banana boat and asked the captain to flip us! So much fun. We rode the bumper tube as well, SCARY at first but so much fun. Snorkeled with my 10yr and non swimming boyfriend lol We did great! The lunch sandwich they provided was much needed! We will come back to sandbar EVERY time we visit Oahu. Mahalo!

The sandbar snorkel cruise was a last minute decision and we're so glad we did it! We had a small group so we were able to snorkel out and see some turtles and coral reef! Such an amazing sight! The crew and musicians were very friendly and this added to the overall experience. Highly recommended!!

We had a great time and looked after really well.
Thanks so much for an amazing trip.

The ride to Sandbar is very smooth, no waves, no worries on emotion sickness. My 6yr old especially enjoyed the Banana Boat and Bumper Tube rides. Highly recommend. The staff was very nice. They even helped us babysit our 2yr old while the rest of family were on the boat and tube rides. :D

The Snorkel was OK. Not many fishes though. If you are planning your trip primarily for the snorkel, it is likely better to find a snorkel specific place.

Captain gave my son a memorable experience as he got to sit behind the wheel. We felt safe the entire time and appreciate the great conversation with staff!

This was our first time participating as a couple over sixty. On the boat, we enjoyed Hawaiian songs, and the staff were very kind, communicating with us in simple Japanese since we couldn't speak English. (It's okay if you can't speak English.) There were drinks and donuts that were soft and delicious. Our main goal was to try SUP! With the staff's explanations while we were in the water, we started SUP. At first, we were nervous, but we soon got used to it and were able to ride comfortably. We had a great time kayaking and snorkeling as well.

When it was time to return, everyone was excited and singing along on the boat, which was a lot of fun! Next time, I want to bring my grandchildren along.

Thank you for your hospitality!

還暦を過ぎた夫婦で初めての参加になります。船の中ではハワイアンソングを聴きながら和気あいあいでスタッフの方も英語が話せない私達に片言の日本語でとても親切に接してくれました。（英語ダメでもOK）飲み物やドーナツが有り柔らかくて美味しかったです。お目当てはSUPです！海の中に居るスタッフさんの説明でSUP開始です。恐々乗ってると時期に慣れて気持ち良く乗る事が出来ました。カヤックをやったりシュノーケリングをやったりと充実した時期を楽しく過ごせました。
時間になり帰りの船の中でも弾き語りで皆さん大盛り上がりでとても楽しかったです！
次回はお孫ちゃん達を連れて来たいと思います。

お世話になりました

At the reception, I was asked to sign various documents, and when I showed the VELTRA voucher, I was handed an iPad, so I had to complete some procedures on the iPad as well—I'm not sure why that was necessary.

You’ll be walking through a lot of sand and even getting your feet wet before boarding, so beach sandals might be a good choice! We wore sneakers, so we ended up going barefoot.

The fireworks are brief, so it’s more about enjoying the night view of the beach while drinking from the sea. I was satisfied.

受付で諸々についてのサインをさせられますが、VELTRAのバウチャーを見せたところiPadを渡されてiPad上での手続きも必要でした～なんでかな？
乗船までは埋もれるくらいの砂を歩き水にも浸かるのでので履物はビーチサンダルが良いかも!私達はスニーカーだったので裸足になりました。
花火は短時間なので、海からビーチの夜景をお酒を飲みながら楽しむという感じです。満足です。
