All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

My husband and i had an amazing experience. Our group guides (Zeke, Ellie, Emma) are the best, very supportive and encouraging and fun. Going through the whole course was a challenge to conquer our different levels of fear and strength. I am especially proud of my husband who had been very hesitant to do the activity but finished it with flying colors more than me..ha ha... If given the chance to come back, we will definitely do it again. Again, thank you so much to our guides who kept us safe and secured the whole time. Fun fun fun .....

We saw a lots of turtles and dolphins. It was a great experience.

The Jurassic Park E-Nike tour was just amazing! I’ve lived in Hawaii all my life and had no idea of the beauty that is hidden back there. Being able to enjoy the beauty on a bike was just amazing! We also had the best tour guide Darryl! He made the whole experience so fun! I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!

This tour was an absolute blast. Luckily, my girlfriend and I came to Hawaii the week after the state opened up following the Covid-19 restrictions, so there weren't many people on the island. Likewise, the tour only ended up being the two of us. Our tour guide (and owner of the tour company), Steve, was amazing. He led us through the waters and taught us both how to kayak. He even went out of his way and taught us how to paddleboard too! Also, he was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and the surrounding waters. Steve provided us with a lot of advice on what we should do/stay/eat during our stay. And to make it even better, we saw plenty of sea turtles and coral beneath our glass bottom kayak! On top of all this, Steve stayed with us a little while longer on the water to answer our questions and to talk more about Hawaii. All in all, the tour went above and beyond our expectations. The next time we go back to Hawaii, we will definitely book another tour with this company!

Highly recommend this tour. You get up close to everything Jurassic park. Really awesome!

I have to admit that this being my first time snorkeling, I had never been so scared and nervous in my WHOLE life!!

Zola, our instructor, was extremely patient and caring throughout the entire experience. Even through I had to concentrate extremely hard with breathing and using my flippers, I was SO proud of myself and I couldn't have done it without him.

Ask for Zola for the snorkeling tour, you wont' be sorry. You will be in terrific hands!

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely evening on this board. The water was a bit bumpy but the captain sailed her right. Crew was on top of serving you drinks. I certainly recommend this cruise.

It was our first scuba dive experience and we could not have had a better time!
All thanks to our instructor, Zola, he was super helpful from diving safety to the techniques and made us enjoy every second of the dive.
We want to point out and send a special thanks to Zola on how patient he was. He made sure I was comfortable in the water, since I was a bit scared at first, still getting used to the equipment and picking up the new breathing pattern.
We'll definitely do it again!

The crew was amazing and super friendly. Our fellow passengers were a lot of fun as well. Overall it was a great experience. I highly recommend this catamaran cruise.

The crew was incredibly nice, drinks were tasty and the whole trip just breathtaking!! Loved it!!!

My kids have been anticipating getting out after a couple of lockdowns in Hawaii due to COVID-19. Saturday morning, while their Dad was off for work, we decided to visit Kualoa Ranch. After reading more of their implementation of COVID-19 safety protocol, we felt safe and confident to take one of their tours, so we decided to book their Movie Sites Tour. I also love the fact that HawaiiActivities.com never fails to provide most up-to-date information which is how we found this to be available on that same day.
Upon entering the premises at Kualoa Ranch, numerous signs were displayed to remind guests and staff about wearing their masks, washing hands/ hand sanitizing, and practice social distancing. At the entrance, they checked our temperature and collected our information (first & last name for each of my party members, an email address, and a phone number for contact tracing. Staff & employees, including our tour guide, were wearing face masks. They also installed Plexiglas in every counter (information desks, check-in, ticket desks).
When we got through the gift shop, and the restaurant, hand sanitizers & disinfecting spray/ wipes were also readily available in many areas. We felt safe.
With everything that has been happening around us, it was a wonderful feeling to be out and explore again. We enjoyed our visit, and the Movie Sites Tour was fun! My son (8-year-old) really loved it and have been asking to go back and do horseback riding. My teenagers said they learned a lot! The tour guide was funny and informative, made us laugh throughout the tour! He has great sense of humor; he even brought a dinosaur toy with him for our photo taking at Jurassic Park and I loved how the photo came out!
It was a great day! We were there as a family 10 years ago and we will visit again in the future.

Super fun experience! Very romantic even with a baby. I live on the island and want to do that again!

My wife and I loved the experience. The crew was fun and friendly, making you feel safe and comfortable from the moment you meet.

They accommodated my sudden reservation regarding Hawaii. The sandbar had amazing transparency. The BBQ hamburger I had for lunch was freshly made and very delicious. The boat was also clean and comfortable. It was a wonderful experience.

ハワイについてからの急な予約に対応してくださいました。
サンドバーは透明度がすごく最高でした。
ランチでいただいたBBQハンバーガーはできたてで、とてもおいしかったです。
船もきれいで快適でした。
素敵な体験ができました。

This was the first activity/cruise my boyfriend and I went on since the pandemic started in March. Now that things on Oahu are opening up again we wanted to get out and have a nice evening. When we checked in on the beach, one of the crew members (wearing a mask) provided hand sanitizer and had us both sign in. Then we boarded and were served drinks right away (corona beer or maitais). Oahu's current regulations allow boats to carry 25% capacity on tours, so manu kai is allowed to have 12 passengers on board now. This actually made it really enjoyable because there was so much room to spread out across the catamaran. As for masks, the crew didn't enforce face masks or social distancing to any extent. The only time you were told to put on a mask was at check-in, boarding, and de-boarding. Once you're on the boat, you were told you didn't have to wear it and none of the crew members were wearing masks during the cruise. Overall I'd say they did the bare minimum, if that, for preventing the spread of coronavirus so I'd recommend going for a sunset cruise that is really putting in more effort to keep their guests and community safe.

Last year, during our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, we participated in this tour. With guidance from a Japanese university student studying abroad, we explored the vast grounds and engaged in activities, allowing us to directly experience Polynesian culture. My husband was also able to join a dance event along the way, and it was truly enjoyable.

昨年新婚旅行でハワイに行った際にこちらのツアーに参加しました。
留学中の日本人大学生ガイドさんによるご案内で広大な園内を散策しながらアクティビティーに参加し直にポリネシア文化に触れる事が出来ました。
旦那も途中でダンスイベントに参加することが出来て本当に楽しかった。

I really enjoyed the buffet before the show! The hula dance during the buffet was entertaining and got me excited before the show even started. I was also allowed to take photos during the show, and I was able to take pictures with the performers at the end, which made for great memories. It was amazing!

ショーの前のビュッフェもとても楽しめました！
ビュッフェ中にフラダンスで楽しませて下さって、ショーが始まる前からワクワクできました。
ショー中も写真を撮っていいとのことと、最後に出演されていた方と写真も撮れていい思い出になりました。最高でした！

It was an incredible downpour. Before going, I looked at many pictures of Heaven's Beach and thought that since the water was about knee-high, I could enjoy it even though I'm not a good swimmer, so I made a reservation. However, due to the heavy rain, the water level was high, and at 155 cm, I was barely able to stand on my tiptoes.

The waves were rough and murky, which was scary, so only my husband went snorkeling while I waited. I was able to enjoy paddleboarding with others who were waiting, but I had imagined a calm, clear sea with turtles swimming nearby, so I was quite disappointed.

The lunch was delicious, and the crew on the boat were nice people, but the sea in February was freezing cold, and everyone else seemed eager to go back. It was at a level that could be laughed about, so I hope to have a revenge trip someday.

ものすごい大雨でした。行く前に天国の海の写真をたくさん見て、高さも膝上ぐらいで泳ぎが苦手でも楽しめそうだと思って予約しました。大雨のせいで水位が高く、私は155㎝ですが爪先立ちしてあごギリギリでした。
波も荒く濁っていて怖かったので、主人だけシュノーケリングに行き私は待っていました。
待っている人でサップ等をして楽しめましたが、膝丈の穏やかな透き通った海で亀が近くに泳いでいるのをイメージしていたので、かなり残念でした。
ランチは美味しくて船の方々もいい人でしたが、2月の海の雨は震えるほど寒く、他の方もみんな早く帰りたそうでした。笑い話になるぐらいのレベルだったので、またいつかリベンジしたいと思います。

This was the highlight of my first trip to Oahu so I definitely recommend this activity to any tourist for all ages. There is so much to see that you definitely cannot watch all the shows and activities all in one day so definitely suggest getting there early. This is a great way to learn the different cultures - dance, traditions, food, etc. Highly suggest you wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot.

Last year, when I went without a reservation, everything was fully booked, so I gave up and went home. This year, I thought I would get revenge, so I made a proper reservation and went. Since my youngest child was 5 years old, we could only do this course, but I was more than satisfied. Next time, the kids said they want to try driving by themselves! I'm looking forward to experiencing something different.

去年予約せずに行ったらどれもいっぱいで諦めて帰って、今年はリベンジと思いちゃんと予約して行きました。
また一番下の子供が5歳だったのでこのコースしか無理だったけど、十分なぐらい満足しました。今度は一人で運転してみたい！っと子供たちは言ってました。また違った経験ができるかもで楽しみです。

First time horseback riding and I can honestly say we had a wonderful experience. They made sure to have a safety demo in the beginning prior to jumping on to be sure everyone was safe and comfortable enough to ride. Nice peaceful scenery and the breeze off of the ocean made the horseback riding extremely relaxing. Towards the end of the tour, we also stopped to take some pics on the beach with the horses!! Our tour guide Becca was the BEST! Definitely will go back and make sure to request her as our tour guide again.

My now fiancé loves mermaids. So I knew she would love to do this. She absolutely loved swimming with the tail on and the photo shoot we did was absolutely hilarious. If you’re a guy, you will probably have to swallow some ego here but it’s worth it. Ricki the instructor is amazing. We swam and then I popped the question overlooking diamond head. Great for all ages.

The experience was amazing and would do it again with this crew. Captain and crew are amazing to talk to and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to see the sunset for an affordable price.

Ten of us participated, ranging from my 5-year-old grandchild to 60 years old.

In Japan, where safety is a top priority, my 5-year-old grandchild was probably not allowed to ride a horse alone, but here, they were able to ride by themselves and were very satisfied!

We enjoyed horseback riding at our own levels, just relaxing as a family on the ranch.

Of course, communication was a challenge since Japanese was not spoken, but it was a refreshing experience for the grandchildren, which was great.

5歳の孫から60歳までの10人で参加しました

安全第一の日本ではまず乗馬させてもらえないであろう
5歳の孫も1人で馬に乗り大満足！

ただ、当然ですが日本語は通じませんでしたが
孫たちにとっては新鮮な体験でよっかたです

It was raining from the morning, but miraculously, it cleared up at the sandbar. ☀️ I played volleyball with the staff, and the cold was blown away. The hamburgers for lunch were also hearty and delicious. My child spilled hot cocoa and got burned, but they quickly helped cool it down with ice and even lent us some ointment, which was really helpful. Thanks to the friendly and cheerful staff, we had a wonderful day.

その日は朝から雨だったのですが、サンドバーは奇跡的に晴れ☀️
スタッフの方とバレーボールをし　寒さも吹っ飛びました。
お昼ご飯のハンバーガーも　ボリューミーで
美味しかったです

すぐに氷で冷やして下さり　軟膏まで貸してくださって　本当に助かりました。フレンドリーで陽気なスタッフのお陰で楽しい１日が過ごせまた。

When I come to Hawaii, I always make sure to include sunset sailing in my plans. Once you experience it, you'll be hooked! I thoroughly enjoyed sailing while taking in views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, as well as watching the beautiful sunset.

This time, what impressed me the most was encountering a pod of dolphins. At first, I could see something like dorsal fins peeking through the waves, and they occasionally jumped to show themselves. Sometimes they even twisted while jumping... They swam alongside the boat for a long time, which was so exciting that I couldn't take my eyes off them. Seeing dolphins swimming in the ocean for the first time truly made me feel "amazing!"

After the sun sets, the temperature drops, so a windbreaker is necessary. I'm really looking forward to what discoveries await on my next sailing!

ハワイに来たら、必ずサンセットセーリングは予定に入れています。
一度体験したら、もう病みつきですよ！
船上からワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドなどを眺めたり、沈みゆく美しい夕陽を見たりして、セーリングをたっぷり楽しめました。
今回、一番感動したのは、イルカの群れに遭遇したことです。最初は波間に背ビレのようなものが見え隠れしていたのが、時々ジャンプしてその姿を見せてくれました。時々ひねりながらジャンプすることも…。ずーっと船と並んで泳いでくれたので、目が離せないほど興奮しました。海でイルカが泳ぐのを初めて見て本当に「すごい！」と感じました。
日が沈んだ後は気温が下がるのでウィンドブレーカーは必要ですね。
次のセーリングでは、どんな発見があるのかとても楽しみです！

I rode a mountain bike for the first time on this tour, and at first, I was very anxious because there was no Japanese guide. However, the local guide patiently taught me how to ride using gestures, and when I looked unsteady while riding, they quickly came to assist me, allowing me to enjoy the experience without injury. In Japan, it's not easy to have the experience of biking up unpaved mountain trails, so the jungle-like paths and the occasional views of the ocean were very refreshing, and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature. I would like to participate in this tour again when I travel to Hawaii.

　私はこのツアーで初めてマウンテンバイクに乗ったのですが、最初は日本人のガイドさんもいなくて非常に不安でした。しかし、現地のガイドさんが乗り方などを身振り手振りで丁寧に教えてくれたり、実際に乗っているときも危なげな様子に気づいては直ぐにフォローしに来てくれたので、怪我なく楽しく乗ることが出来ました。日本では舗装されていない山道を自転車で登る経験はなかなか出来ないので、ジャングルのような山道や、時折見下ろす海の風景はとても新鮮で、自然の雄大さに圧倒されました。またハワイに旅行するときはもう一度このツアーに参加したいと思います。

Many reviews mentioned that the sea in Hawaii is cold in February, so I prepared myself for that. I visited in late February, but we were blessed with great weather and had a beautiful sandbar experience, which made it worth participating! The staff took many memorable photos of us at the sandbar, and we enjoyed a delicious barbecue until we were full, which left us very satisfied. We even encountered a honu (sea turtle) and had our first stand-up paddleboarding experience, creating wonderful honeymoon memories. 😊

ハワイの2月の海は寒いという口コミが多く、覚悟して参加しました。2月下旬に伺いましたが、天気に恵まれてとっても綺麗なサンドバー体験が出来、参加してよかったです！
サンドバーでの記念写真をスタッフさんにたくさんとっていただいたり、お腹いっぱい美味しいバーベキューもいただき満足してます。ホヌにも出会えて、初SUPも経験できていいハネムーンの思い出ができました(^ ^)

Very good way to get to activities. Great sunrise hike up Diamondhead and the falls was one of our top favorite experiences while on the island. Drivers were friendly and very informative. Would highly recommend.

The driver who picked us up and the boat staff were cheerful and energetic, making the tour very enjoyable. The turtles didn't come close, but we were able to see them from a distance. Last time, they came right next to us, so I was a bit disappointed... (；∀；) I want to try again next time!

お迎えの運転手さんも船のスタッフの方も明るく元気でとても楽しくツアーに参加させていただきました。
カメさんは近くには寄って来なかったですが、遠くから見ることができました。前回は真横に来たので少し残念‥( ；∀；)次回リベンジしたいと思います！
