All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I've done alot of activities in oahu including parasailing, snorkeling, and more, but this one was the most worth it. Not only did the 4 hour excursion feel like it was over too soon, but the captain and crew felt like family. They were so informative with what we were doing and also joined us in playing in the sandbars. Lastly, my cousin has never swam let alone in the ocean and was finally able to go out and snorkel! What a epic time!

Had a great time at the sandbar. Definitely would go Again

We met at the location. The parking lot happened to be available, but I think it would be hard to find a spot if you arrive last minute.
The boat I boarded had all Japanese customers, and the guide spoke in Japanese, which made me feel at ease.
I went with my 1-year-old and 5-year-old, and we all had a great time!
My 5-year-old seemed really happy to be able to go snorkeling!
The BBQ hamburger we had on the boat was also delicious.

私たちは現地集合で行きました。駐車場はたまたま空いてましたが、ギリギリにくると見つからないかと思います。
私が乗った船はお客さんはみな日本人で、ガイドさんも日本語で話してくれるので安心しました。
1歳と5歳も一緒にいきましたが、とても楽しめました！
５歳はシュノーケリングもできて嬉しかったみたいです！
船で食べるBBQハンバーガーもおいしかったです。

We were about ten people celebrating the wedding of one of the girls living in Hawaii. It was a great memory. The ship didn't sway much, so I wasn't worried about seasickness. Hawaiian beer is well chilled and costs around $4 to $5. You don't need marine shoes since you board barefoot. Be careful of sunburn. The boarding area is between the Sheraton and Halekulani. The girl at the reception doesn't speak Japanese, but she is friendly.

日本人は我々位でしたが、ハワイ在住の女のコたちの一人が結婚するとかで10人位でお祝いにて乗船しておりました。良い思い出です。船は揺れも少なく船酔いは心配ありません。ハワイのビールは４から5ドルでよく冷えてます。乗船時は裸足ですのでマリンシューズは必要ありません。日焼けは注意です。乗り場はシェラトンとハレクラニの間。受け付けの女のコは日本語はNGですがフレンドリー。

I attended with my wife.
We moved out to sea on a small boat with a total of 16 people, divided into 8 groups of 2, and took turns flying.
It swayed quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness.
I also recommend bringing a GoPro, as you can capture footage while parasailing!

嫁と参加しました。
8グループ×2名の計16名で小舟に乗って沖へ移動し、順々に飛んでいく方式でした。
なかなか揺れるので、船酔いするかたは薬飲んでから行くのをおすすめします。
gopro持って行けばパラセイル中も撮れるのでおすすめです！

I participated with my parents in their 60s, and the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay was shallow enough, so we could enjoy it without worrying about swimming! It was amazing to see sea turtles while snorkeling. The shuttle bus service to and from Waikiki was great. The BBQ burger for lunch was delicious!

60代の両親と一緒に参加しましたが、カネオヘ湾のサンドバーは水深も深くないので、泳げなくても安心して楽しめました！シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメを見ることが出来て最高でした。行き帰りの送迎バス(ワイキキ地区)が付いていてGoodです。ランチのBBQバーガー美味しかったです！

The hiking tour was great. The pick-up was smoothly and made everything easier. Hiro was an amazing guide with a lot of knowledge about the plants and history of the island! The lunch was great, the way from the lookout was amazing where you could see the Diamond Head, Waikiki, Pearl Harbour and the airport! Thank you Hiro for an amazing tour!

I had an incredibly fun time. My husband and I are saying that if we can go to Hawaii again, we would love to do it once more. We go out quite a bit offshore, so you can enjoy the feeling of cruising. However, it does get pretty bumpy until then, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're feeling anxious.

The guidance is basically in English, but it's manageable. As others have mentioned, there is a photo sale, but you won't be treated unpleasantly if you politely say no.

めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。
主人ともまたハワイへ行けたなら、もう一回やりたいねと言っています。
そこそこの沖合にまででますので、クルージング気分も味わえます。
が、そこまでは結構揺れますので、不安な方は酔い止めを服用しておくことをお勧めします。

基本的に英語での案内ですが、なんとかなります。
他の方が書いてらっしゃる通り、写真の販売はありますが、遠慮せずにNOと言っても特に不快な対応をされることはありません。

The crew was amazing! And took care of all of the customers even had a separate boat for Japanese speaking only, so thoughtful to think of them. It was so fun going out to the Sandbar, and also took us turtle watching and snorkeling! And the burger was so good after some fun in the sun! I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for some good fun, good food, and good company. All of us customers had a great time playing water volleyball with each other in the Sandbar! If you’ve been thinking about doing this, just do it, it’ll be such a fun experience to include in your Hawai’i trip!

Was a little nervous because I have never really enjoyed putting my face under water but Amber made me feel relaxed and comfortable. She was knowledgeable and you could tell that she enjoyed her job. Would recommend you tie your hair back so as to keep it out of your face. Had a wonderful experience.

My and my family/friends were a total of 16 people. Including a 3 month baby. We had a blast!! Perfect for big groups, would 100% recommend. My parents really enjoyed their time there. My brother who doesn't know how to swim enjoyed the sandbar!! This tour is literally perfect for all ages and lifestyles. Great experience.

This was an amazing experience. The massages were excellent. I highly recommend this service. We feel so relaxed. We had such a great time. Would do it again. My wife and I decided to go at the end of our vacation and it was phenomenal the ladies there were such professionals!

Thank you so much for this fantastic trip. My family and I really enjoyed it. My son said he saw a lot more turtles than he thought he would. And the dolphins were a bonus! The crew were so friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend you to everyone going to Oahu.

10 out of 10 experience ! It’s a must do if your in Hawaii !

I participated alone!
There were few Japanese tourists, but the staff explained things in simple Japanese, so I didn't have any major concerns!
There are small coin lockers ($1) available, so I put my valuables there!
I was very moved to be able to fly with such a wonderful view!

One downside is the access.
You can get to the skydiving location from Waikiki by Uber or rental car, but there are very few options for getting back to Waikiki or the North Shore from the skydiving site. So, I recommend renting a car.

For the skydiving photos, there were two options:
- Staff members taking selfies with Apple Watches
- Staff taking photos with a GoPro from the front
Each option costs nearly $200.

I didn't take photos this time, but I would like to take them next time!

女1人で参加しました！
日本人の観光客は少なかったですが、スタッフの方が簡単な日本語で説明してくださったので、大きな不安はありませんでした！
荷物は、小さなコインロッカー(1ドル)があるので、そこに貴重品を入れました！
素晴らしい景色で飛ぶことができてとても感動しました！

一つ難点が、アクセスです。
ワイキキからスカイダイビングの場所はUberやレンタカーで行けるのですが、帰りのスカイダイビング上からのワイキキやノースショアの市内へのアクセスが物凄ごく少ないです。なので、レンタカーをお勧めします。

スカイダイビングの写真は、
・スタッフの方々がアップルウォッチでセルフ撮影
・スタッフが正面でゴープロ撮影
の二パターンありました。
それぞれ200ドル近くかかります。

今回、写真は撮影しませんでしたが、次回は撮影したいと思います！

It’s been our third time enjoying this excursion. Staff is always friendly and comical. Great to be out in the fresh air and see the beautiful sunset.
What better way to enjoy the waters of Hawaii!
We highly recommend Holokai!

The weather was bad, so the clarity of the sea was questionable, but the encounter rate with honu (sea turtles) was high, and I had a valuable experience. 😊

天気が悪かったので海の透明感は微妙でしたが、
ホヌ（ウミガメ）の遭遇率が高く、
貴重な体験が出来ました(^^)

The canyon horseback riding has chosen a coastal course for its renewal. It's the best view while looking at a local beach that's different from Waikiki! The horses are well-trained and very smart.

In a small group, there were two couples, including us, on their honeymoon. The actual experience starts with just a simple lecture before getting on the horses. There’s no practice, just a full-time horseback riding experience!? They will take photos for you, but if you want to capture moments while riding, it's handy to have a strap to hang around your neck.

Also, the horseback riding experience is divided into two sessions. If you make a last-minute reservation, you might be assigned to the second session. The second session makes it a bit tricky to explore Haleiwa, so if you want to enjoy Haleiwa as well, I recommend booking early. If you want to eat garlic shrimp without waiting, the first session might be better!

Since I had a packed schedule afterward, I got dropped off near Ala Moana. The driver, Kaz, was very helpful. I had a wonderful experience!

Next time, I want to participate in the canyon horseback riding. Thank you!

渓谷乗馬がリニューアルのため海辺のコースを選択しました。ワイキキとはまた違ったローカルなビーチを眺めながら、最高の景色です！
良く調教された馬ちゃんで、とってもお利口です。
少人数のグループで、私達も含めハネムーナの2組。
実際の体験は簡単なレクチャーだけで乗馬スタートです。
練習などはなく、フルタイム乗馬体験！？
写真も撮ってくれますが、乗馬中を撮影したいなら、首から下げたストラップがあると便利です。
また、乗馬体験は入れ替えの2部制です。予約がギリギリだと2部にまわされます。
2部だと、ハレイワの町の散策がビミョーなので、ハレイワも楽しみたい人は早めの予約をオススメします。
ガーリックシュリンプを待たずに食べたい人は1部の方がいいかも！

次の予定がつまっていたので、アラモアナの近くで下車させてもらいました。
ドライバーのカズさんも色々とお世話になりました。とても良い体験ができました！

次回は渓谷乗馬に参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

Great 2hr experience with about half an hour of swimming out in the ocean included. Also sailed with spinnaker open and friendly crew! Not overcrowded and quality drinks aboard

It wasn't a huge school, but I was able to see various tropical fish. I was excited to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle, even if just for a moment! I was satisfied with my first submarine experience.

大群！という訳では無かったでしたが、熱帯魚が色々見られました。一瞬でしたが、海亀も見られて興奮！初の潜水艦体験として満足しました。

The crew members and the musicians are so helpful, awesome and friendly!!!! Great live music!

Amazing views and customer service. Would definitely do it again.

The view of Honolulu from Diamond Head and the hotel we stayed at was absolutely wonderful. They say you can enjoy similar scenery in Okinawa, but I highly recommend experiencing it in Hawaii.

The meeting place was easy to find, and we didn't get lost on our way there. Since the instructions mentioned to arrive 30 minutes early, we went ahead and got there early, but ended up waiting about 40 minutes as the previous group was still preparing to board. (Someone from the same group arrived even earlier than us.)

The tour company's service was good, but I thought the information on Veltra was a bit unhelpful. They mentioned that photos would cost $40, so when they asked if we wanted to take them, I declined and didn't take any. The tour company only communicates in English and does not provide support in Japanese.

ダイヤモンドヘッドや宿泊してるホテルなど、ホノルルを一望できてとても素敵でした。
沖縄でもできる、といいますが、ハワイの景観を楽しめるので、おすすめです。

集合場所はわかりやすいです。あまり迷子にならず到着できました。
集合時間が30分前に来るよう記載があったので、早めに行ったら、前のグループの乗船準備中で40分ほど待ちました。（同じグループの別の方は私達より更に早く来ていました。）

催行会社の対応は良かったけれど、veltraの記載が不親切かなと思いました。
写真は40ドルと話していたので、撮る？と聞かれたときにいらないとお伝えし、いただきませんでした。
催行会社は英語のみで、日本語対応はありません。

We had a great time, celebrated our anniversary! The family that hosted the luau was wonderful and we were impressed with every aspect of the luau. If you are staying on Waikiki beach, be prepared for an hour drive to get there. We didn’t account for that length of time so we didn’t get to appreciate the hiking available beforehand.

We enjoyed this so much. It took a couple hours to calm down from the excitement of being so close to majestic sharks. Our guides were so friendly and provided a lot of information and guidance. We felt very safe during the entire experience. We also had enough time to enjoy the sharks and it never felt rushed. We saw about 10 sharks that swam calmly around the cage. We were lucky to see some dolphins on the trip back too!

Just the best! I think Hilton is the number one. It felt so good. I even encountered dolphins, which was amazing. I will ride again.

もう、最高の一言！ヒルトンのが1番だと思います。とても気持ち良かったです。イルカにも遭遇出来て最高でした。また乗ります。

I booked this activity for 24 of my friends and family so that we could hang out and do something fun after my wedding. The whole day was so great! The crew members were fun and helpful! Everyone in my group enjoyed the day. When I got stung by a Man-O-War, which I was warned about, the crew helped me immediately and I still had the best time!

We went with a family of 35. They had no issues accommodating our party. Everyone from the 2 year old kids to the grandmas had a blast.

5 out of 5 for the live music too!

Great fish n the water, easy to adjust to snorkels!

My family had a blast this day, it surely knocked us out- its a lot of fun activities however it is a full day in the sun!!
