All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

We had a fantastic day on our tour. It just so happened that me and my daughter were the only people signed up on the day of our tour. Our guide Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, fun loving and easy going with her knowledge of the island. We started at the Halona blowhole and found out the beach nearby was used in the movie “From Here to Eternity”. Lunch at the Kahuku Sugar Mill with a smorgasbord of food trucks should be able to satisfy any hunger. The recommendation of Giovanni’s for garlic prawns by Stephanie was spot on, they were delicious.
With great anticipation of seeing turtles on the sand at Haleiwa Beach Park we were slightly disappointed. It was great we were able to see them in the water occasionally bobbing their heads up for air.
The last stop at Dole Plantation was great, it is where we tasted our first Dole Whip which was absolutely delicious.
I would recommend this tour to give you a better idea about the Oahu Island and the different experiences available to you.

Everybody was so sweet and friendly, very charismatic and funny too. The Maitais were so SO good, not too strong not too watered down. Beautiful views and easy check in. We were a party of four and one of ours had to use the restroom downstairs and he said it was clean and well maintenance. The sail itself was amazing I was able to get good pictures of Diamond head as well.

The host was funny and great knowledge about his own culture and traditions. It’s our first time so I wouldn’t be able to compare with other Luau. The show was about the different Polynesian cultures dance so just not only about the fire dance that gets everyone excited. It shows you the dance and the cultures. The Waimea fall is not flowing right now secondary the drought, ( last time occurred in 1992) so my family was little disappointed that couldn’t see the fall and swim in the pond. Look at bright side, this doesn’t happen all the time and I got to see a waterfall without water. Wished there was some warning ahead and I would have planned differently. Otherwise it was still a nice trail for family to walk.

I had doubt initially and I am glad I did it. It’s easy to book through this site. I booked it a day before the tour and luckily to find a time that was good for my family. The guide has great sense of humor. If you love Hollywood movies and TV shows, it’s a must see. You can also learn a lot about the ranch history. My family enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

I do this boat everytime I come to town!! Such a great and kind crew!!!

Drinks are good and it’s a ton of fun! Wonderful way to see the sunset and view of Waikiki

Really enjoyed every single minute spent on this trip thanks to the entire crew. I really loved the live music and the snorkeling is definitely second to none!

I'm for sure will take this tour the next time I'm back to Oahu.

It was a perfect day for a flight. Since it was sunny, I was wondering if yesterday was the same, but it turned out to be the best day for flying due to various conditions like the wind. The warm and reassuring welcome from the owner couple, along with their prior email notification, made for a welcoming flight. I got to see the entire view of Honolulu from the sky for the first time, and the colors of the sky and sea, as well as the wind, were all wonderful. The pilot was friendly and ensured a safe and secure flight. At one point, I unexpectedly got airsick, and we had to land for a break before taking off again. During the break, we were offered cold towels, drinks, and sweets for a relaxing time. The staff went around the airport with a cart, which helped settle my nausea. The view from above and the warm, trustworthy hospitality from the staff made this Cessna flight a wonderful memory for my husband and me. Thank you so much! Oh! On our return, we were interviewed by a TV crew at the airport, and the staff shared the photos from our Cessna flight, which were aired as well! It was filled with many happy moments. I am grateful.

その日はフライト日和　晴れているので昨日も❓と思ってたら風などなど諸条件からベストフライトな日だと。オーナー夫妻の温かで安心なお迎え、事前にもメールでお知らせいただき　ウェルカムフライト。初めてホノルルの全景を空から眺められ　空も海の色も風もとてもワンダフル。パイロットさんも親しみ安く安心、安全なフライトでした。途中　まさかのセスナ酔いに　一旦着陸し、休憩後　再フライトしてくださった。休憩中も　冷たいおしぼり、飲み物やスイーツ　寛ぎタイム。スタッフの方がカートで空港内を回ってくださり、おかげで酔いも落ち着きました。上空から眺めた景色とスタッフの方たちの温かな、信頼できるおもてなしのセスナフライトは私たち夫婦の素敵な素敵な思い出になりました。ありがとうございます～✨　　そう❗帰国時　空港でテレビ取材にあい、スタッフさんが撮ってくださったセスナフライトの写真も一緒に放映されましたよ～✨　沢山のハッピータイムでした。感謝です

My family had a great time! The staff was so friendly and the ride was beautiful!

On the second day of our arrival, we had an experience. My husband, our 9-year-old daughter, and I were able to participate together for the first time. Until now, we had only been able to ride one or two people at a time, so it was great to ride as a family of three.

The boat was larger than I expected, and we went out to the open sea for the experience. We were with two other groups. The height was also 150 meters, and we were able to see the most amazing views.

One unexpected thing was that while anchored, the boat swayed a bit, and during sailing, it felt more like we were connected rather than being pulled by the boat, so we felt the swaying from the waves and wind, which made me a bit seasick.

However, we had a wonderful experience with stunning views.

到着２日目に体験しました。
夫婦と９歳の娘の三人で一度に体験できました。今までは一人か二人乗りだったので、三人で初めて乗れてよかったです。
思ったよりも大きな船で、沖まで行き体験しました。
ほか二グループと一緒でした。
高さも１５０メートルと高く、最高の景色が見れました。
誤算だったのは、停泊中は船が少し揺れ、ｾｲﾙ中も船に引っ張られるというよりは、繋がっている状態だったので波、風の揺れを感じ、
船酔いしてしまったことです。
でも、素晴らしい景色と体験が出来ました。

When I was a child, I watched an American TV drama featuring skydivers and had always dreamed of skydiving. I never thought I would actually get to experience it. When I visited Hawaii over 30 years ago, this activity didn't even exist yet. Since then, there have been more TV programs in Japan introducing this activity, and tandem skydiving airports have opened domestically, but I had always decided that if I were to jump, it would be in the skies of Hawaii. This month, just 10 months before the age limit, I had the opportunity to go to Hawaii and immediately signed up without hesitation. Just before the experience, I felt no anxiety, only excitement. The result? It was simply the best feeling ever! Although my acquaintances and friends are quite astonished by it.

子供の頃、スカイダイバーが活躍するアメリカ製のTVドラマを見て、ずっと憧れていたスカイダイビング。自分が体験出来るとは思ってもいませんでした。以前、ハワイを訪れた時(30年以上前)には、まだ存在しなかったアクティビティでしたし。その後、日本でこのアクティビティを紹介するTV番組も増え、また国内でもタンデムが出来る空港も出来ましたが、やはり飛ぶならハワイの空と決めていました。年齢制限まであと10か月の今月、ハワイに行く機会に恵まれ、迷わず真っ先に申し込みました。体験直前もハラハラドキドキは全く無く、ワクワクが止まらない状態でした。結果はもう、気分最高！の一言。知人、友人には呆れられてはいますが。

My boyfriend and I visited Honolulu for a week to celebrate my 30th birthday. With so much to do on the island, it can be overwhelming to choose the right excursions, especially if you’re only there a few days. This was hands-down the most fun thing we did the ENTIRE trip! The crew and captain were so accommodating and cool. It’s definitely worth the extra cost to do the banana boat or tube ride ;-)

The awesome crew, live music and activity options for the sandbar make this perfect for solo travelers, couples or even families. Do not hesitate to book!

It was my first sunset cruising experience. I had previously been on a dinner cruise, and since my husband had never been on one, I was thinking of doing a dinner cruise again. However, we decided to try the sunset cruise instead, so we quickly made a reservation.

After checking in, we boarded the ship at the scheduled time. Aside from us, everyone else was foreign tourists, but everyone was enjoying themselves, toasting with Mai Tais as we set sail. The view of Waikiki Beach and the opposite side of Diamond Head from the sea was fantastic, as well as the mountains we saw from the activities we experienced during the day. Of course, the setting sun was beautiful.

The background music was from my husband's youth, which also became a wonderful memory.

初めてのサンセットクルージング。
以前ディナークルーズに乗ったことはあり、今回も主人が乗った事がなかったのでディナークルーズにしようと思っていました。
ですが、サンセットクルーズに乗ってみようという事で、早速申し込みました。

受付を済ませ時間になり乗船。
私達以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが、皆さんそれぞれ楽しみ、マイタイで乾杯しながら出港。
海側から見るワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの反対側。そして昼間体験したアクティビティから見えた山など、すごく良かったです。
もちろん沈みゆく太陽、綺麗でした。

BGMも主人の青春時代の曲で、それも良い思い出になりました。

La prise en charge, l’accueil, le circuit tout était très bien. Le chauffeur nous donnait des renseignements intéressants. Nous avons passé un excellent moment. Seule petit bémol le bus n’était pas très confortable et j’ai quelques petites douleurs au dos. J’ai aussi acheté la photo bien que j’ai trouvé le prix exorbitant. En tout état de cause je conseille cette activité.

The ride out to sea on the boat was thrilling at high speed. I felt more fear from the boat's speed while waiting in line with several groups of people. When flying, it was very enjoyable and made me feel elegant. It was a quick flight, and I wished I could fly longer. I purchased the photo data, and I was impressed by the images, which exceeded my expectations.

ボートで沖に出るまでも高スピードでスリリングです。数組の人達と同乗の為順番待ちしている時の方がボートのスピードに恐怖がありました。飛んでいる時はとても楽しく優雅な気持ちになります。
アッという間のフライトでもっと飛んでいたいと思いました。
写真データーを購入しましたが、期待以上の画像に感激でした。

The basic English support was available, but there was also a Japanese explanation video for horseback riding, which I watched, so even though it was my first time riding, I quickly understood how to ride.
You wear a helmet while riding. You can leave your luggage in a locker and bring valuables and drinks with you (they lend you a pouch).
I was very satisfied with the experience as I could enjoy the scenery of both mountains and the sea in the great outdoors. The horses were also very well-behaved. It was a bit disappointing that the instructor's explanations about the location were often too far away to hear, but they took several photos for me and sent them to my smartphone. For lunch, I had fish and chips at the café inside Kualoa. It was delicious. I had some concerns after reading reviews that mentioned having too much free time, but I ended up not having enough time as I was busy looking at souvenirs.

基本英語対応ですが、乗馬の際の説明ビデオは日本語もあり、そちらの映像を見せていただいたので初めての乗馬でしたが乗り方はすぐに理解できました。
乗馬の際はヘルメットを被ります。荷物はロッカーに預けて、貴重品と飲み物を持参できます。(ポシェット貸してくれます)
大自然の中で山と海両方の景色が楽しめて大満足です。お馬さんたちもお利口さんでした。インストラクターの場所等の説明が遠くて聞こえないことが多々あったのがちょっと残念でしたが、、、何枚か写真も撮っていただきスマホに送っていただけました。ランチはクアロアの中のカフェでfish and chipsを食べました。美味しかったです。口コミに自由時間は時間を持て余すと書かれていたのを見ていたので不安でしたが、お土産を見たり時間が足りないくらいでした。

I was able to enjoy an extraordinary view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. This is the most memorable experience I had in Hawaii.

ワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドが一望でき非日常の景色を味わせてくれました。
ハワイでいちばん心に残った思い出です。

We had so much fun!! Everyone was very friendly and the people on our boat group made it extra fun! I just wish it was longer than 3 hrs. My husband and I had a great time snorkeling! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to go to the sandbar! I love that they also allowed us to bring a cooler and drinks!

This was a great experience. The bus came to hotel exactly the time that was indicated. The location was fantastic, sea was calm.

It is a lot of fun, but make sure you apply sunscreen to every inch of your body to avoid sunburn . Sunburn can be extremely uncomfortable

Great value, the three staff members were helpful in promptly refilling drinks when they saw empty cups. Also gave my wife and I unlimited mai tai's, probably for everyone else on the catamaran too. Ride was bumpy at times but we didn't get sea sick. Music choice was also perfect the entire way though. They take great pictures of you as well.

My friends and I had such a good time on this catamaran sunset tour! Will definitely use them again!!

We heard we had to try snorkeling on our first trip to Hawaii but neither of us are super-confident swimmers, especially not in the ocean. If that sounds like you, START HERE. This snorkeling experience ended up being just right for two reasons 1) excellent instructor, Zola and 2) excellent location, Magic Island Lagoon. I was excited to try snorkeling, but when it came time to put the mask on, stick my face in the water, and breathe - I couldn't do it. After patient and friendly coaching from Zola, I was finally floating around and breathing under water. I owe it to Zola that I felt ready to sign up for another, more challenging, snorkeling tour later in the week where I got to see more fish and turtles. The location is this peaceful, blue and beautiful lagoon that's protected from the ocean's strongest waves by a barrier. The water is clear and just lovely to swim in. I would go back just to enjoy the beach.

I made a reservation about a week before traveling to the United States, but it seems to be a popular activity, and the desired morning time was fully booked, so I opted for an available afternoon slot. The sand was quite intense, and my whole family ended up covered in sand from head to toe, but we had a great time. Next time, I would like to try horseback riding.

渡米1週間前くらいに予約しましたが、人気のあるアクティビティらしく、午前中の希望する時間が空いてなく、午後の空いてる時間にしました。砂煙がすごいため、家族全員、顔から洋服全体が砂まみれになってしまいましたが、とても楽しめました。今度は乗馬してみたいです。

We had a great time snorkeling. We saw many fishes, and 3 turtles!

Really well organized. Fun time with the whole family!

This time, I participated in the afternoon. The reason is that the sandbar can be seen during low tide, and when I checked the time, it turned out that the afternoon was the best time that day. However, the beach did not appear (laughs). It seems that timing is really important, and even during low tide, if the season is different, the beach may not be accessible (what a shame).

However, regardless of that, this tour allows you to enjoy activities as long as time permits. You can play as much as you want with activities like stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and beach volleyball! In particular, snorkeling was great because it was at a point where many fish gather around the coral reef, which I think was much better compared to other beaches.

The beach itself is white, so when the water level goes down to a certain extent, you can enjoy activities in a very beautiful place. It was the perfect spot for enjoying the scenery while engaging in activities in the sea!

今回は、午後に参加しました。というのも、サンドバーが見られるのが干潮の時ということで、時間を確認したところ、その日は午後が一番良かったからです。
が、砂浜は現れず笑
というのも、本当にタイミングが大事なようで、干潮のタイミングでも季節が違うと砂浜に上がってというのができないようです。（残念）

しかし、関係なしに、このツアーではアクティビティが時間の許す限り楽しめます。SAP、カヤック、シュノーケリング、ビーチバレーなど遊び放題！特にシュノーケリングはサンゴ礁に魚がたくさん集まるポイントで、これは他のビーチに比べてもとても良かったと思える点です。

砂浜自体は白いので、水位がある程度下がれば、とても綺麗な場所でアクティビティを楽しむことができるので、景色を楽しみつつ、海でのアクティビティには最高の場所でした！

I had previously been taken care of a few times, and this time I requested private lessons for my daughter, who just started elementary school (7 years old)! She was a bit scared at first, but Matt-sensei taught her in a fun way, and before we knew it, she was doing nice rides multiple times! Despite being scared and cold, it seems she had a great time.

I was also able to ride a few times nearby with a board I rented separately, which became a wonderful memory.

Since they incorporate some Japanese while standing, I think even those who can't communicate in English can enjoy it enough. I want to go to Hawaii again soon; thank you for your help next time as well!

私が以前数回お世話になっており、今回は小学校に上がった娘（７歳）のプライベートレッスンをお願いしました！
少し怖がったりもしていましたが、マット先生が楽しく教えてくれて、気づけば何度もナイスライドをしていました！こわい＆寒いなりに楽しかったようです。
私も別途借りていたボードで近くで何本か乗ることができとても良い思い出になりました。

立ってなどは日本語も交えてくれるので、英語だコミュニケーション取れない方でも十分楽しめるかなと思います。
もうまたすぐハワイに行きたいです、次回もよろしくお願いします！

My whole family loved this luau! The fact that it also includes entry to the park is a steal; it's beautiful! Our host was very funny and personable. I loved that they have cultural activities like showing the people attending the luau how to open coconuts, and weave leaves into a headband. The food was good, and the host was giving special shoutouts to people who were celebrating things like anniversaries, graduations, etc. The people who were doing the dances did great! Even my sister that's 3 years old was super entertained. You really get a family feel at this luau; shoutout to the 9-year old kid who was doing some fire dancing as well! It was awesome and I definitely prefer giving my money here than some random resort doing shows. The vibe is 10/10!

Such a great experience and we will definitely book again!

The tour includes light snacks on board. The staff was very friendly, and it was an enjoyable tour. There are also guides in Japanese, so even families with small children can have a great time.

船上にて軽食付きのツアーとなります。スタッフがとてもフレンドリーで楽しいツアーでした。日本語で案内もあるため小さな子供連れでも楽しめます。
