All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

This has been on my bucket list for quite some time and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The crew is so nice and made everyone feel so comfortable and were very knowledgeable. They only take up to 6 people so you never even have to get out of the cage until the tour is over if you don't want to! We were in there for about 45 minutes getting to see several sharks and it turned out to be a really calming, cool experience. I would definitely recommend these guys, I was sold when I found out that it was a small group and that we would have a lot more time in the cage.

I was extremely satisfied with the level of hospitality. It's a highly regarded tour. Although there were many participants, they provided attentive service to each individual.

おもてなし度満タンで、非常に満足です。評判が良いツアーです。参加者の人数は多いのですが、1人ひとりにきめ細かく対応してくれました。

The flight arrived 4 hours late, and I changed the scheduled time. I was grateful for their willingness to accommodate me. It helped me recover from the fatigue of a long journey. It's conveniently located, so even first-time visitors to Hawaii can easily find it.

フライト到着が4時間遅れ、指定の時間を変更しました。快く応じてくださり助かりました。長旅後の疲れが取れます。便利な場所にありますので、初ハワイの方でも迷わず行けます。

I had heard that the meeting place was hard to find, but following the guidebook led me there without any issues. We took off our shoes at the beach and climbed the stairs to the catamaran. The waves came in, and my daughter got wet up to her knees. Whether you get wet or not depends on the timing, I guess. The conversation between the cool bartender and the captain was enjoyable, and the music really enhanced the sunset experience. We even saw a whale jump and a big rainbow, which made me feel incredibly happy. It was a tour that definitely deserves the highest ratings from everyone. I would love to participate again if I come back to Hawaii. I think it would be even more fun if I could speak English.

集合場所がわかりにくいと情報から聞いていたのですが、案内書通りにいくと問題なく到着。靴を海岸で脱がされ双胴船の階段登って行きました。波が来て娘は膝上まで濡れてました。濡れる濡れないは、タイミングかな。かっこいいバーテンダーのお姉さんと船長さんの会話も楽しく音楽もサンセットを盛り上げてくれます。鯨のジャンプもみれたし大きな虹も見れすごく幸せな気分でした。みんなが最高と評価するのも当然っておもえるツアーでした。再びハワイに来ても参加したいと思いました。英語が話せるともっと楽しいだろうなあ。

The view was amazing! I thought I might get wet in the sea at the end, but it was just my toes, which was fine! I was very satisfied to see dolphins too!

眺め最高でした！
最後海で濡れるかなと思いましたが足先だけで良かったです！
イルカも見れて大満足でした！

I thought we would be flying on something like a chair, but it was just a rope, which was scary at first, but it was safe. Since there were six groups sharing the ride, the waiting time was long, which is a downside, but the breeze felt nice and it was a good experience. I think taking motion sickness medication is essential because the boat moves quite a bit.

椅子の様なものに乗って飛ぶのかと思ったら、紐だけで最初は怖かったが安全でした。
6組が乗り合わせだったので、待つ時間が長いのが欠点ですが風が気持ちよくて良い体験でした。
かなり、船の移動が揺れるので酔い止めは必須だと思います。

Experience 150 meters!
The view is amazing, and it's not scary at all! Looking down is a little scary, though... (laughs)
We were flying in the sky for about 5 minutes!!
It was fun!

Since there were four other groups with us, we spent quite a bit of time on the boat. I recommend taking motion sickness medication! The boat ride felt like a kind of attraction, and I enjoyed it!

150mを体験！
とても眺めがよくて、全然怖くありません！下を見れば少しだけ怖いけど…(笑)
5分くらい空を飛んでます！！
楽しかったです！

私たちの他に4組の方と一緒だったので、ボートに乗ってる時間の方が結構長いです。酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします！ボートも一種のアトラクションのようで私は楽しかったです！

- Sandbar walk
- Snorkeling
- Lunch (BBQ buffet)
- Free time (we experienced stand-up paddleboarding!)

This is the flow of the tour mentioned above. The sandbar depends on the tide, but when we went, the water was about knee-deep. I thought it would be best to go when the tide is completely out, and honestly, I was a bit unsure since it wasn't low tide, but it was no problem at all! Even with some water, it was incredibly beautiful! There was plenty of free time, so we took lots of photos! (Since the tour time is fixed, it might be difficult to perfectly match it with low tide...)

During snorkeling, we encountered three sea turtles! It was amazing! The guide said it was a sea turtle festival that day (laughs)!

The captain and all the staff were very kind, and I highly recommend this tour! You can really feel the essence of Hawaii!

･サンドバーウォーク
･シュノーケル
･昼食(BBQバイキング)
･自由時間(私たちはサップ体験！)

上記のような流れのツアーです。
サンドバーは潮の満ち引きの状況もありますが、私たちの時はひざ下位の深さありました。サンドバーは絶対潮が完全に引いてる時がいい!!と思ってて、正直行くまでは干潮じゃないから少し微妙かな〜と思ってましたが、全然問題ありませんでした！少し水があってもとっても綺麗でした！！自由な時間もたっぷり取ってあるので写真たくさん撮りました！
(ツアーの時間も決まってるので完全に干潮と合わせるのは難しい…かな？)

シュノーケルでは3匹のウミガメに会えました！感動しました！この日はウミガメ祭りだ(ガイドさんいわく笑)って言われてました！

キャプテン、ガイドさんはじめスタッフ皆さんとても優しい方でこのツアーはとてもオススメです！ハワイを感じられます！

This is my fifth time in Hawaii, but this time I'm here with my daughter who is visiting for the first time, so when you think of Hawaii, you think of hula dancing. I wanted my daughter to experience the beauty of Hawaii, so I chose a rock fusion hula show. We opted for the buffet dinner, and to sum it up, we were very satisfied.

Around 6:00 PM, we went to the Royal Hawaiian Center on the fourth floor to exchange our vouchers for entry stickers, which we placed on our chests. While waiting near the entrance, we were already welcomed by hula dancing. After that, we were invited into the tent based on the stickers we had on our chests, where we were shown to our seats. We were asked if we wanted two types of welcome cocktails and whether we wanted alcohol or not. Those who looked young were asked to show their passports. In the U.S., it's not allowed to serve alcohol to anyone under 21, so it's necessary to carry your passport. My daughter is 23, but she was still asked to show hers.

When the time came, we toasted and went to get food from the buffet. There was a whole roasted pig and various other dishes, and I got a bit greedy and couldn't finish everything. The food was delicious, and we were thoroughly satisfied while enjoying hula dancing during the meal.

After finishing our meal, we were guided inside the building to move to the second-floor seating. If you go to the guide early, you can sit in the front row of the second-floor seats, which offers a great view and is a good deal. The show featured various styles of hula dancing, impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and it was a lot of fun. It was a great value. My daughter initially came with the mindset of just accompanying her dad, but she ended up enjoying the meal and the hula dancing, and she was very satisfied with the fun show.

I also thought that if my late mother had seen this show during our last overseas tour in Hawaii four years ago, she would have been even happier. In any case, I highly recommend it.

5回目のハワイですが、今回はハワイが初めての娘と一緒なのでハワイと言えばフラダンス。娘にハワイの良さを感じさせたいとロックと融合したロック:ア：フラショーを選びました。ビュッフェディナーを選びました。結論から言えば大満足でした。6:00頃会場のロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階に行ってバウチャーと入場シールを交換して胸に貼って入口付近で待っているとフラダンスをして早くも和ませていただきました。その後ビュッフェディナーの我々は胸に貼ったシールを見てテントに招き入れられそこで席に案内されて着席。ウェルカムのカクテル二種類とアルコール入りか？無しか？を聞かれて若く見える人はパスポートの提示を求められます。アメリカでは21歳以外だった？にはアルコールを提供してはならないので当然ですがパスポートは携帯しておくことが必要です。娘は23歳ですが当然？提示を求められました。やがて時間が来ると乾杯してブッフェの料理を取ります。豚さんのの丸焼きや色々有って私は欲張ってあれこれ入れて、少し食べきれませんでした。味もよくお食事しながらフラダンスを食事会場でしてくれて充分に満足出来ました。
食事が終わると建物内に誘導されて二階席に移ります。
早め早めに、誘導する人の元に行って食事も建物への移動もすれば二階席の最前列席に座れるので非常に見易くお得です。ショーも色々趣向を変えたフラダンス、エルビスのそっくりさんやマイケルジャクソンが時間をかけて色々出てくるので楽しかったです。お値打ちがあります。娘は当初はお父さんにお付き合い程度の意識で来ましたが、食事やその時のフラダンスで結構満足して、楽しいショーも見れて大満足していました。私も前回4年前のハワイは亡くなった母親と一緒の最後の海外ツアーでしたが、このショーを見せてあげれば更に喜んだだろうと想いました。ともかくお勧めです。

I visit Hawaii every year, and I make it a must to experience the Friday night fireworks sailing. It's incredibly refreshing, the all-you-can-drink Mai Tais are delicious, and the fireworks are beautifully visible. I prefer this size of yacht over a large boat; you can feel the gentle sway, the wind, and the splashes of water, which really makes you feel like you're in Hawaii.

毎年ハワイに来ていますが、金曜日の花火鑑賞セーリングは必須イベントにしています。最高に爽快で、飲み放題のマイタイも美味しいし、花火もきれいに見えます。セーリングは大型の船より、これぐらいのヨットがいいですね、程よい揺れや、風や水しぶきを感じられるし、ハワイにきている実感が感じられます。

I tried parasailing for the first time in Hawaii. It was so much fun flying over the beautiful ocean. However, I think it's essential for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication.

ハワイで初めてのパラセーリングに挑戦しました。綺麗な海の上を飛べて、とても楽しかったです。ただ船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めが必須だと思います。

Hawaii is known for its beautiful seas, but the milky blue sandbar was absolutely stunning!
Snorkeling requires some stamina, but you can swim with sea turtles.
We brought our 9-month-old baby, and since everyone on the tour was a mom, we were able to enjoy ourselves while being well taken care of.
I had heard that the tides are lower around the new moon and full moon, so I researched online and went on a nearby date.
As a result, we were able to enjoy the water at a depth of about knee-high!

どこも海がキレイなハワイですが、ミルキーブルーのサンドバーは最高にきれいでした！
シュノーケリングは体力がいりますが、ウミガメと一緒に泳げます。
9ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れでしたが、ツアーの皆さんは全員ママさんということもあり可愛がっていただきながら楽しむことができました。
新月、満月付近が潮引くと聞いていたため事前にサイトで調べ近しい日に行きました。
結果膝くらいまでの水位で楽しむことができました！

I finally landed on the sandbar that I've wanted to visit for a long time after seeing it on TV! I participated at the timing when the tide was at its lowest during this trip, but the water only receded to knee level, so I couldn't actually land! However, I had plenty of fun with the free rentals of kayaks, SUPs, and snorkeling gear.

The lunch provided was not exactly satisfying, but since it was a meal on the boat, it felt delicious. This time, I brought my daughter along, and my husband and I were worried that we might disturb other guests, but everyone was warm and welcoming, which was great. On top of that, we were really lucky and happy to see a sea turtle!

前々からテレビ等で観ていて行ってみたかったサンドバーに上陸⁈して来ました。
今回の旅程の中では1番潮が引いたタイミングを選んでの参加でしたが
当方膝下レベルまでしか潮が引いておらず、上陸とはなりませんでした！
しかしながら無料レンタルのカヤック、SUP、シュノーケリングなどなどで
充分楽しめました。
昼食内容は決して満足レベルではありませんが、船上での食事という事で
美味しく感じる事が出来ました。
今回は娘も連れて参加の為、他のお客様に迷惑になってしまうかもと
夫婦で心配していましたが、皆さんにも暖かくお仲間にして頂けて良かったです。
おまけにウミガメも見れて本当にラッキー&ハッピーでした。

The sandy beach was not visible, and there was water everywhere. However, the crew was kind, the stand-up paddleboarding was fun, the barbecue was delicious, and it was great to see sea turtles! It's best not to have high expectations for just the sandbar! Motion sickness medication is a must.

砂浜はでておらず、ずっと水がある状態でした。でも、クルーは親切、サップは楽しく、バーベキューも美味しく、ウミガメも見れてよかったです！サンドバーのみの期待は、しない方がいいです！酔い止め必須です。

I participated in January! The staff on the boat were really great! However, it was too cold due to the season. It took a lot of determination to get into the sea. We saw a lot of turtles, and the kids seemed to have a lot of fun. I think we could have enjoyed it even more if the weather had been better!

1月に参加しました！船に乗ってたスタッフさん方はすごいよかった！ただ季節もあって寒すぎました。海に入るのは気合いがいりました。
亀はほんとにたくさん見えて子どもは楽しそうにしてました。季節がよければもっと楽しめたなと思いました！

The weather was clear with not a cloud in sight, and the guide mentioned how lucky we were. Since it was an attraction in the ocean, they kindly explained the precautions, which made me, who had been thinking it would be easy, take things more seriously. I felt a bit anxious, but thanks to their kind guidance, I was able to enjoy it safely. Meeting the sea turtles was the best! I will definitely participate again when I come to Hawaii!

雲一つないお天気で、ガイドさんもラッキーですねとおっしゃってました。海でのアトラクションなので、注意事項も丁寧に教えてくださって、簡単に考えていた私も気を引き締めました。不安も少し出てきましたが、親切に教えてくださって、安全に楽しむ事ができました。ウミガメさんにも会えて最高！ハワイに来たらまた必ず参加します〜

On the first day we arrived, we participated right away and had fun with the kids. We did all seven activities, but by the end, we were quite tired. The instructors were kind and taught us well, so my 9-year-old son was very satisfied and enjoyed himself.

着いた初日にいきなり参加しましたが子供たちと楽しめました。7本すべてをしましたが最後の方は結構疲れました。インストラクターの方たちが優しく教えてくれましたので9歳の息子も十分満足して楽しみました。

Overall, it was great.
The captain, especially Google, made it feel like we were truly experiencing Hawaii.
The free drink service was also excellent and top-notch.
The sunset sailing became my greatest memory, and I want to go again.

とにかく良かった。
キャプテンは、特にGoogle
これぞ、ハワイを感じることができた。
フリードリンクのサービスも、申し分なく最高だった。
セーリングでのサンセットは最大の思い出になりました、また行きたいです。

The scenery was amazing, and the weather was great—I want to do it again! It was a shame that the seat on the horse was hard, and my leg bones started to hurt. I would be happy if there was a soft cushion available!

景色が最高で気候も良くてまたやりたい！
馬の上に座った時に座るところが固くて足の骨が痛くなったのが残念。柔らかいクッションみたいなのできたらあると嬉しい！

It was truly a breathtaking view, just as seen in the photos. The weather was also great that day, and everything was very beautiful. Unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance, but snorkeling was a lot of fun!!

写真で見るように、本当に絶景でした。その日は天気にも恵まれて、とてもキレイでした。ウミガメは残念ながら遠くにいるものが見えただけでしたが、シュノーケルも楽しかったです！！

I participated in January and brought a long-sleeved cardigan and a bath towel, but the night on the boat was colder than I expected while barefoot. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, but since I can't drink alcohol, I wasn't in the mood for juice either because it was cold, so I thought it would be nice to have warm beverages available. Aside from the cold, it was truly wonderful, and I would definitely like to participate again if I go during a warmer season. The night view of Waikiki is still etched in my memory. For those sensitive to the cold during this time, I highly recommend dressing warmly.

参加したのは1月で、長袖のカーディガンと、バスタオルを持って行ったのですが、夜の船上は裸足のままで、思ったより寒かったです。
ドリンクも飲み放題でしたが、私はお酒も飲めないので、ジュースも寒くて飲む気分にもなれず、温かい飲み物もあると良いと思いました。
寒さを除けば、とても素晴らしかったので、もっと暖かい時期に行ったら、また是非参加したいと思います。
ワイキキの夜景がまだ目に焼き付いています。
この時期に行く寒さに敏感な方は、思い切り暖かい服装をおすすめします。

Chieko is the best! We had the best snorkeling tour.

I think the show itself was enjoyable, so that was good! However, the meal was a bit different from what I had signed up for, which was a little disappointing! I believe crab was supposed to be included... The directions were unclear! I think it could have been prevented with some arrows!

ショー自体は楽しめたので良かったと思います!
食事は申し込んだ時とは少し違いがあったのでちょっとガッカリしました！カニが予定ではあったはずだったのですが…
案内が分かりにくかったです！矢印でも有れば防げたと思います!

It was such a great time and perfect day. I have done other catamaran cruises, and this one was the best.

This was my second time participating in a dolphin tour in Hawaii. In a word, it was the best! The staff were all friendly, and it was truly a fun tour! I swam with dolphins as far as the eye could see, and there was plenty of time to enjoy activities like boating and snorkeling afterward! The cheeseburger for lunch was also very delicious.

I'm already excited about joining the turtle university! If you're considering a dolphin tour in Hawaii, I absolutely recommend it!!

ハワイでイルカのツアーに参加するのは今回が2回目でした。一言で言うと、【最高】です！
スタッフが皆フレンドリーで本当に楽しい楽しいツアーでした！
見渡す限りのイルカたちと一緒に泳ぎその後はボートやシュノーケルのアクティビティを堪能する時間も沢山ありました！昼食のチーズバーガーもとても美味しかったです(^^)

時間は亀大学に参加したいと今からワクワクしています⭐︎
ハワイでイルカツアーをするなら、絶対おススメです！！

It was amazing!!!
Even with my fear of heights, I was able to enjoy it! ☆
I got to see Hawaii from above, which is an experience you can't have in Japan! ☆
The driver spoke Japanese and provided reliable transportation, so I was able to relax and fully enjoy the experience. ⤴

最高でした!!!
高所恐怖症でも楽しめましたよー！☆
Hawaiiを空から一望できて、日本では出来ない体験が出来ました☆
日本語が話せるドライバーさんで、送迎もしっかりしてくれるので、安心して満喫できました⤴

This tour was really good, the tour guides were full of humour and fun stories to tell, the vehicles were comfortable and the tours well done. (Would've like just a -little- more time in some of the places (not a lot, just 2-3 more minutes maybe)).
But I would definitely recommend this full day tour to anyone, there's something for everyone at Kualoa Ranch.

VELTRA deserves praise too, I got a voucher from a friend and had trouble redeeming it, contacted VELTRA on Facebook and was told I had to call to book the tour and they would add my voucher. As I didn't have a working phone available they managed to transform the voucher into points and add them to my VELTRA account. I was then free to use it for this booking. Thank you for making it so easy for me :-)

I got seasick on the boat before boarding the submarine. In the morning, the waves were high and it was very rocky. I think it's essential for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. However, I was glad that I was able to see turtles.

潜水艦に乗るまでの船で船酔いしました。
朝は波が高くとても揺れてました。
船酔いする人は酔い止め必須かなとおもいます。
ですが、カメも見ることができ良かったとはおもいます。

My family (my mother and I) loves Hawaii so much that we travel there every year, but we've never opted for any additional activities. However, having done everything else, we found ourselves struggling to decide what to do for this trip as the day before our departure approached. Suddenly, I thought about wanting to try skydiving and impulsively signed up on a whim!

We gathered at 4:30 AM, but we made it to the pickup on time, and off we went! With excitement and nervousness, we headed to the airport! From the preparation stage before we started, both the instructor and the cameraman communicated with us and were very friendly.

The breathtaking view the moment we jumped from about 4,000 meters was just amazing! During the one minute of free fall, I was completely immersed in emotion. The cameraman also captured some hilarious facial expressions (laughs).

Since the morning session coincided perfectly with sunrise, every photo taken is a precious treasure. I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii! Once you experience this, it becomes addictive!

By the way, I personally recommend buying both photos and videos! You'll want to look back at them again and again!

私の家族(私と母)は、毎年必ずハワイへ旅行に行くほど、ハワイ好きな家族ですが、毎回オプションは頼んだことがありませんでした。
しかし、色々とやりつくしてきたので、今回の旅行ではやりたいことが中々決まらないまま旅行前日を迎え…。ふとスカイダイビングがしたいと思い、唐突に思い付いたその勢いのまま申し込み！
早朝4:30集合でしたが、無事送迎にも間に合い、いざ出発！
ドキドキとワクワクが止まらないまま飛行場へ！
始める前の準備の時から、インストラクターの方もカメラマンの方もずっとコミュニケーションを取ってくださり、気さくな方ばかりでした。
そして約4000メートルから飛び降りた瞬間の絶景はもう最高！
フリーフォールの１分間、ずっと感動に浸っていました。
カメラマンの方も見事な変顔ショットを残して下さいました(笑)
午前の部はちょうど日の出のタイミングだったので、撮っていただいた写真はどれも大切な宝物です。
今度ハワイに来たときもまた絶対参加したいと思います！
これを経験したらもう癖になります！

ちなみに個人的には写真と動画両方買うべき！何度でも見返したくなりますね♪

I did this tour with my friend who is not from the island. It was her first time on a submarine and she was amazed by how beautiful it was underwater. The boat ride to the submarine was very smooth and because the weather was so nice we decided to sit on the top deck. The view from the deck was amazing. Just as we departed we were able to see a sea turtle swimming next to our boat. The submarine ride itself wasn't so bad we were able to see turtles, sharks, and a lot of fish. It was a bit cold so I do recommend bringing a jacket since you will be underwater for quite some time. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour and we would love to go back and try it again!
