All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

My wife and I attended together.
First, we entered through the VIP entrance and took a commemorative photo with an Elvis Presley impersonator.
We received a welcome drink (alcohol) and enjoyed appetizers like fruits, nuts, and prosciutto while waiting for the venue to open.
After the doors opened, we savored dinner at a table in front of the stage. We had a voucher for one alcoholic drink, so we ordered a cocktail.
I thought there would be quite a bit of food, but it was just enough to fill us up. The lobster was delicious, and both the meat and salmon were tasty as well. There were also desserts and coffee.
The show included Hawaiian dances, impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, and even a fire dance, which left us very satisfied. Being seated right in front of the stage made it a fantastic experience.
The photo we took at the beginning can be purchased for $25, and after the show, the Elvis impersonator himself signed it for us.
When we left the venue, we were able to take commemorative photos with the singers and the Hawaiian dancers who performed in the show, creating wonderful memories.

妻と2人で参加してきました。
まずはVIP入口から入って、エルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんと記念撮影。
ウェルカムドリンク(アルコール)を受け取り、フルーツやナッツや生ハムなどの前菜を食べつつ、開場を待ちます。
開場後、ステージ前の席でディナーを堪能。アルコール1杯をオーダーできる券を貰ってたので、それでカクテルを注文。
料理は結構多いかと思いましたが、ちょうどお腹一杯になるくらいでした。ロブスターはもちろん美味しかったですし、お肉もサーモンも美味でした。デザートとコーヒーもあります。
ショーはハワイアンなダンスから、エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんショー、ファイアーダンスもあって大満足。ステージ目の前の席なのでバッチリ楽しめます。
最初に記念撮影した写真は25ドルで買えますし、終了後にプレスリーそっくりさん本人が最後にサインもしてくれます。
会場から出ると、ショーに出てた歌手の人やハワイアンダンス踊ってた人たちと自分のカメラで記念撮影までさせてくれて、いい思い出になりました。

The show is easily visible from any seat. The costumes changed frequently, which was enjoyable to watch, and I'm glad I participated.

ショーがどの席からもよく見えます。
衣装もどんどん変わり、みていて楽しかったし
参加してよかったです

I'm glad I got to see the ocean in Hawaii! I had the impression that there were many families around, and it might depend on the sea conditions, but I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish.

ハワイの海の中を見れてよかったです！
家族連れが多いイメージで、海のコンディションによると思うのですが、魚が少なかったのが少し残念でした。

Since it was my first time, I chose the 90m option, but I regret not going for the 150m.
You can really feel the excitement of being on a southern island, yay!
The staff was very efficient, and before I knew it, I was up in the sky.

初めてなので９０mにしましたが、１５０mにすれば良かったと後悔しています。
南の島へきたぜ、ヒャッホー！
と言う気分を味わえます。
スタッフの手際が良く、あれよあれよと言う間に空の上です。

I participated with my wife and two daughters, but it was quite difficult because my wife got drunk. The submarine itself is stable, but the waves while transferring from the shuttle boat to the submarine are quite intense. If you're not confident on boats, it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case. As for the tour, we were able to see sea turtles this time, and the kids were thrilled. What you can see depends on luck, though.

妻と娘二人で参加しましたが、妻が酔ってしまい大変でした。
潜水艦自体は安定しているんですが、送迎線から潜水艦に乗り移る間が水面のうねりが凄いです。
船に自信がある方以外は、念のため酔い止めを飲んで挑んだ方が良いです。
肝心のツアーですが、今回はウミガメも見れて子供達は大喜びでした。
何が見れるかは、運次第ですが。

Hanauma Bay has limited parking, likely due to its focus on preserving nature, and there tends to be traffic before entry because you must watch a video beforehand. However, if you join this tour, you can enter smoothly like with a fast pass.

For snorkeling, it was our family's first time, but the practice made us feel safe and we enjoyed it. Most importantly, we were guided to the best spots to see fish, and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sea, including a surprise greeting from an eel.

The transportation was also great, with a cheerful guide who spoke fluent Japanese, providing sightseeing information and recommendations for delicious places, making for a fun and engaging time. I was initially unsure about joining a guided tour, but I definitely recommend it.

Additionally, after participating, you can get commemorative photos taken underwater, which you can upload to social media, making it a truly comprehensive experience with excellent cost performance.

ハナウマ湾は、自然を守る利用からなのでしょうか駐車場が少ない、事前のビデオを見なくてはならないとの理由からどこでも入場前には渋滞しています。
このツアーで参加をするとすべてファストパスのようにすんなり入場できます。
シュノケリングの方は、私達家族は初めてでしたが練習もあり安心して楽しめました。
何より魚が見えるベストな場所に誘導してもらえるのでたくさんのさかなや、突然のウツボの挨拶など綺麗な海を充分に堪能できました。
送迎も、日本語が流暢な外人の陽気なガイドさんが観光案内や美味しいお店の紹介も交えて対応してくれるので、飽きることなく楽しい時間を過ごせます。
はじめはガイド付きツアーで参加するのか迷いましたが絶対にオススメだと思います。
あと、参加後には、海中での記念撮影なども
SNSにアップしてもらえるので本当に至れりつくせりでコスパも最高でした。

The weather can affect your experience, but the sea was clear and visibility was good, making it possible to spot sea turtles and fish. Additionally, since it's shallow, even small children who are not good at swimming can enjoy themselves.

天気にも左右されますが、海も透き通っていて視界が良く、ウミガメや魚を探すことも可能でした。また浅瀬なので小さな子供で泳ぎが苦手な子も楽しむことができます。

Got to see a lovely sunset (our last in 2019) drinks were flowing and we were always asked if we wanted more, friendly staff and overall very nice experience. I'd recommend especially if anyone has no other opportunity to see a sunset from the sea or the Honolulu skyline at night from afar (looking in from the ocean).

It was truly amazing! Unlimited drinks while sailing with a view of the hotels off Waikiki and Diamond Head. I highly recommend the sunset sail!

本当に最高でした！ワイキキ沖からホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらの飲み放題セイリング。サンセットセイルはおすすめですよー

In the morning, we used eBikes. There are options for shorter people, but it's better to be at least 140 cm tall. Also, it's not suitable for those who don't usually ride bikes or for the elderly. The speed can be quite fast, and the hills are steep. The grandmother who accompanied us was very slow and couldn't pedal up the hills, so she retired midway. The guide speaks English, but it's not a problem if you don't understand it at all.

In the afternoon, due to bad weather, we had to slightly change the kayaking course and gave up on landing on the uninhabited island. The tide and waves were quite strong. It requires considerable upper body strength, so elderly participants should think carefully.

As mentioned in reviews, the lunch was terrible.

午前中はeBIKEです。背が小さい人用もありますが、身長は140cm以上あった方がいいです。また、普段自転車に乗らない方や高齢者は不向きです。結構なスピードがでますし、坂も急です。同行したおばあちゃんは非常にペースが遅く、上り坂もこげなくて途中でリタイアしていました。英語のガイドですが理解できなくても全く問題ありません。
午後のカヤックは天候不良により少しコース変更し無人島への上陸は断念しました。潮の流れ、波とみにきつかったです。結構上半身の力が必要なので高齢者の方は熟考してください。
口コミでも散見されますが、ランチは最悪です。

The water level on the day was comfortable, with the shallowest part being below the knees.

By the way, you can check the sea level in advance on the linked site.

I encountered a sea turtle that seemed curious, coming close enough to reach out to it.

当日の水位の海面も一番浅いところが膝下で快適

ちなみに海面水位は事前にリンク張ってるサイトでチェック可能

ウミガメも興味があるのか手が届くほどの近距離まで遭遇

I had cocktails and juice for drinks. Additional orders are charged.
The variety at the buffet is limited.
The salad, huli huli chicken, and dessert were delicious. The white fish and roast beef were average.
There was also a whole roasted pig, which they cut right in front of us.

The show featured impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and they were great at singing and dancing, which was entertaining. I was also soothed by the Hawaiian music.
The hula dance and fire dance were very impressive. I want to see it again when I come back to Hawaii!

ドリンクはカクテルとジュースを頂きました。追加は有料なります。
ビュッフェの種類は少ないです
サラダとフリフリチキンとデザートは美味しかったです。その他白身魚やローストビーフは普通でした。
豚の丸焼きもありました、目の前でカットしてくれました。

ショーはプレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンがそっくりで歌や踊りも上手で面白かったです。ハワイアンミュージックにも癒されました。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスは迫力満点でした。またハワイに来たときは観に行きたいです！

Very hospitable crew of 3 with a great sense of humor took us on a great evening cruise with exceptionally large waves and actually put up a sail! Loved the crew, the other passengers who were interesting, and the wonderful food from local caterer. Be prepared to leave your shoes on the dock and for some water spray and wind, but also for a great sail.

The location has only a small sign, so I think most people will miss it. Even if you ask at the front desk, they might respond with "What is that?" as none of the other staff seem to know about it either. The show itself was average and felt like just another Hawaiian show that you could see somewhere else. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

場所は小さな看板しか無くまず殆どの人が見逃すと思います。フロントで場所を聞いても、それって何？と言うか他のスタッフも皆さん知らないあり様です。ショー自体も普通で何処かで見ショー内容と言うかほぼ同じハワイアンショーですね。残念ですが次は無いです。

My first time paragliding! I usually don't have good experiences with activities, but this time I was completely satisfied! The timing was smooth from the hotel, so I didn't feel stressed and was able to unwind.

生まれて初めてのパラセーリング、毎回アクテビティでいい思いがなく終わっていたが今回はすべて満足‼️時間もホテルから出て円滑に進んだのでストレスも溜まらず発散出来ました

This was cool, but they advertise alot on their Instagram with pictures of feet hanging out of the Helicopter, but they do not allow those kind of pictures at all.
I highly advice atleast a sweater and long pants since it does get cold

We participated as a family of five, and at first, we were anxious because we couldn't speak English. However, our group consisted entirely of Japanese people, so we had one male staff member who could speak some Japanese, along with one male staff member and one female staff member who spoke only English. All the staff were cheerful and polite, and we enjoyed ziplining while feeling the pleasant breeze in the great outdoors. The price is somewhat high, but I believe it's necessary to operate on such a scale. I'm sure you will feel satisfied.

家族5名で参加し英語が話せないので最初は不安でしたが私達のグループは全員日本人だったので多少日本語ができる男性スタッフ1名と、英語のみ話す男性1名、女性1名のスタッフがついてくださいました。どのスタッフも明るく丁寧に接して下さり、大自然の中で気持ちの良い風を感じながらのジップラインでした。お値段は多少かかりますがこれだけの規模を運営する上では必要だと思いました。きっと満足感は得られると思います。

The children were scared at first, but they quickly became excited and had fun. Since we took motion sickness medication beforehand, there was no seasickness. I would like to do it again.

子供達も最初は怖がっていましたが、すぐに楽しくなり興奮していました。事前に酔い止め薬を服用していたので船酔いもなかったです。またやってみたいです。

Great experience. Nice location for surfing. The instructor is very nice and friendly

You have plenty of time on the submarine to fully enjoy the scenery underwater. I was able to see sharks and sea turtles! (Maybe I was just lucky.) The elementary school children also seemed to have fun looking for fish. The boat before switching to the submarine swayed quite a bit, so I noticed a few people feeling seasick before the main event. I recommend taking motion sickness precautions for those who are not confident on boats.

潜水艦に乗っている時間はたっぷりあり、海の中の景色を十分楽しめます。鮫やウミガメも見れました！（運が良かったのかも。）小学生の子どもたちも魚を探したり楽しそうでした。潜水艦に乗り換える前の船が結構揺れるので、メインイベントの前に船酔いしている人もちらほら見かけました。船に自信のない人は酔い止め対策をおすすめします。

I flew with my two children. They were thrilled to be flying higher than the birds. They said they definitely want to do it again when we come back to Hawaii.

子供と三人で飛びました。鳥より高い位置で飛べたことに、子供が感激していました。またハワイに来たら絶対やりたいと言っていました。

Since I always played golf, I decided to try surfing for the first time while in Hawaii. When I went to the surf shop offering lessons, there was quite a crowd waiting, which was encouraging. It was a semi-private lesson, but I felt there wasn't much difference from a group lesson. The timing for paddling with the waves was entirely up to the coach. Since I was on a longboard, I was able to stand up right from the start, which was fun. However, paddling out to the ocean was tough, and that was quite challenging. I'm excited that there are more options in Hawaii to enjoy in the future.

いつもゴルフばかりだったので、せっかくのハワイなのだからと、はじめてサーフィンに挑戦しました。
催行しているサーフショップに行くと、かなりの人数が待っていて盛況。セミプライベートレッスンでしたが、グループレッスンでもさほど違いはないように思います。
波に背にしてパドリングするタイミングは全てコーチ任せ。ロングボードなので、初めから立つことができて楽しかったです。ただ、沖に向かってのパドリングは辛くて、これだけは大変でした。
ハワイの選択肢が増えてこれからも楽しみです。

I had a wonderful experience thanks to Maki, and I was able to spend a very enjoyable and valuable time. I was a bit anxious about seeing dolphins on the way there, but that anxiety turned out to be completely unfounded. I was able to swim with dolphins in the beautiful blue sea! It was truly a dreamlike and moving moment to swim so close to them. And to my surprise, I encountered many sea turtles as well. On the way back, I had a great time dancing hula to the ukulele on the boat until the very end. It really became a wonderful memory!

マキさんに素晴らしいアテンドをいただき、とても楽しく貴重な時間を過ごすことができました。行きの船上ではイルカに逢えるか少し不安になりましたが、そんな不安も全く嘘のよう。バッチリ！青い海でイルカと一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。あんなに近くでイルカと一緒に泳げるなんて、まさに夢と感動の一時でした。そして、何とウミガメにもたくさん出会えるではないですか。帰りは船上でウクレレに合わせてフラダンスを踊りながら最後の最後まで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。本当に素敵な思い出になりました！

Staff was wonderful and funny! Excellent time and views! A must do at 1000 feet!!!

We participated as a family of four. The silence at 150 meters above ground was very pleasant. Even those who were hesitant to join said it was amazing! They were very satisfied and glad they did it.

家族４人で参加しました。
150m上空は無音でとても心地が良かったです。
参加を躊躇していた者も最高！やって良かったと大変満足してました。

At first, my daughter, who could only swim a little, was frozen in fear when asked if she could swim. Moreover, since we had to jump in, it was quite tough for small children.

As soon as we entered the sea, we saw a pod of dolphins. It was challenging to swim while holding my daughter, but we were able to see them up close, which was moving. My daughter also forgot her fear and was amazed. The sea was very beautiful, and we even encountered a turtle.

On the way back, we encountered a whale! We were able to see it jump as well. We spent an emotional time, having multiple encounters. We also saw sea turtles from the boat several times.

I hope to participate again when my daughter is a little older.

最初は泳げるか確認され、クロール程度しか泳げない娘は恐怖で固まってしまいました。しかも、飛び込んでという流れなので、小さい子には結構厳しいです。
海に入るとすぐにイルカの群れが見れました。娘を抱えて泳ぎながらの厳しい条件ではありましたが、すぐ近くで見られて感動しました。娘も怖さを忘れて感動していました。海はとてもきれいで、カメにも会えました。
帰りの船ではクジラにも遭遇！ジャンプも見れました。何度も会うことが出来て、感動しっぱなしの時間をすごしました。ウミガメも何度も船上から見られました。
娘がもう少し大きくなったら、また参加したいなと思います。

I participated in this tour for the first time in seven years. The members were the same as seven years ago, so it was fun to see people who had changed in appearance and those who hadn’t changed at all.

Now, the guide who picked us up in the morning spoke suspicious Japanese, and during the car ride, he explained everything in English without any warnings, and we arrived at the destination. Even there, the explanations were in English, and just when I was wondering about it, he finally explained in Japanese, which relieved my whole family.

At the local boat, they provided proper assistance in Japanese. What was wonderful was that we had about an hour for sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling, so even my wife, who can't swim, had a great time snorkeling with a life jacket and float. Perhaps we looked like we were having too much fun, as my parents in their 70s decided to try snorkeling for the first time! However, they needed help right away ( ;∀; ). They said they were still okay, but I think it was a nice decision to get assistance.

For lunch, we had hamburgers, which were very delicious, and I wanted a second helping. Also, the crew here was very cheerful and lifted our spirits with their "Aloha!" greetings. The guide who picked us up in the morning played the guitar and sang during lunchtime, which seemed to be part of his job. Overall, it was a great experience. I would like to participate again when my daughter is able to snorkel.

このツアーに７年ぶりに参加しました。
メンバーも７年前と変わらないメンバーでしたので、見た目が変わった人やまったく変わらない人など楽しかったです。
さて、今回も朝迎えに来たガイドさんが、あやしい日本語、車内では、英語で全部説明、何の注意点もなく、現地へ到着しました。現地でも英語での説明で、あれ？と思っていたところ、やっと日本語で説明して頂いたので、家族全員ほっと一安心。
現地の船では日本語できちんと対応してもらいました。すばらしいのは、サンドバーとカメウォッチ、さらにはシュノーケルが１Ｈぐらいあったので、泳げない嫁でも、ライフジャケットと浮棒？でとても楽しくシュノーケルをしていました。今回あまりに私たち夫婦が楽しそうにみえたのか？、７０代の両親がシュノーケリングに初挑戦！！したところ・・・すぐにヘルプで助けられました( ;∀;)
本人曰くまだまだ大丈夫だったはずと言っていますが、やっぱり助けて頂いたのはナイス判断だったと思います。
ランチは、ハンバーガーでしたがとてもおいしく、おかわりがほしいくらいでした。また、ここのクルーはとても陽気でアローーーーーーーハァーのあいさつで気分を楽しくしてくれました。朝迎えに来たガイドは、ランチタイムに、ギターを弾いて歌っていましたが、結局それが仕事みたいでした。全体的にとても良かったです。娘がシュノーケリングできるようになったらまた参加したいと思いました。

Motion sickness medication is a must. The view from the boat is great, and riding in the submarine is fun, but there weren't many fish on the seabed... I thought they had artificially created a fishing ground on the sandy bottom. It's a 45-minute experience of watching the little fish gather there. Since it takes about three hours, please weigh it against other events you want to do before deciding to participate!

酔い止めは必須です。船からの眺めは良いし、潜水艦に乗るのも楽しいのですが、海底に魚は…あまりいませんでした。
もともと砂地に人工的に魚場を作ったんだなと思いました。そこに集まる小さなお魚達を見つめる45分です。
時間は３時間ほど取られるので、他にやりたいイベントと天秤かけて参加を決めて下さいね！

I tried surfing for the first time. They teach you carefully, so I think anyone can do it. However, I couldn't stand up even once. It was about two hours in the morning, but my whole body is sore. You can't bring your phone or camera, so if you have a partner, I recommend having them take pictures for you. Of course, the shop staff will take videos and photos, but they sell them for over $50, which is a bit expensive. My wife also participated, but she got seasick and had to give up early. If you're prone to motion sickness, you'll need some medication for that.

初めてサーフィンをしました。丁寧に教えてくれるので、誰でもできると思います。ただ私は一度も立ち上がれませんでした。午前中2時間ほどでしたが、全身が筋肉痛です。携帯やカメラは持って行けないので、もしパートナーがいれば取ってもらうことをお勧めします。もちろんショップのかたが動画と写真を撮ってくれますが、50ドル以上で販売されますので、少し高いですね。妻も参加しましたが、船酔いのようになってしまい早々にギブアップ。酔いやすい方は酔い止めも必要ですね。

It was an immersive tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the great nature of Kualoa. There was no wasted time, and we were able to see all the highlights. However, it was stated that long pants were absolutely necessary, but they weren't needed at all (they might be required for horseback riding). Additionally, a buffet-style lunch was included, but honestly, it wasn't very tasty. I think it's better to bring some light snacks to eat. There are plenty of spots for taking photos, but for the jungle tour, the left side of the front seats is the best for taking pictures!

クアロアの大自然を満喫できる濃密なツアーでした。時間に無駄がなく、見どころを見れます。ただ、長ズボンが必ず必要と書いてありましたが、まったく必要ありませんでした。（乗馬には必要かも）また、ビュッフェスタイルの昼食がついていましたが、正直美味しくありません。スナックなど軽く食べれるものを持っていった方が良いかと思います。写真を撮るところもいっぱいありますが、ジャングルツアーの座席は前の方の左側が写真撮りやすいです！
