All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I was anxious about the English support, but the driver and the crew on the boat were accustomed to Japanese people, so it wasn't a problem not speaking English.

The driver was wonderful; while we waited in the car, he sent me breathtaking photos taken in Hawaii, including pictures of whales and rainbows via AirDrop. He also gave me some recommended souvenirs like gummy candies and canned juice.

It's a good idea to have some cash on hand to tip the driver and the crew.

英語対応とのことで不安でしたが、送迎のドライバーさん、船のクルー含め日本人慣れしていたので英語が話さなくても問題ないです。

送迎のドライバーさんがとても素晴らしく車の中で待っている時間に、ハワイで撮れた絶景写真や鯨、虹などの写真をエアドロで送ってくれました。
またおすすめのお土産ときてグミや缶ジュースももらいました。

船のクルー送迎のドライバーさんたちにチップを払うので現金は多少あった方がいいです。

It was my first skydiving experience in Hawaii.

It took just under an hour to drive from Honolulu to the North Shore. We arrived at the airport while it was still dark and waited for dawn to jump.

Seeing the beautiful ocean from the sky was pure happiness. It was the best! ☆

ハワイでは、初めてのスカイダイビングでした。

ホノルルからノースショアまで
１時間弱
車に乗っての移動。
まだ、暗いうちに飛行場に到着
夜明けを待って飛びました。

綺麗な海を空から見る幸せ
最高です☆

Even though I was around the Sheraton Hotel with plenty of time, I couldn't get through from the Sheraton to the beach, which made me really anxious... The directions were hard to understand. In the end, I walked along the beach walk to the ocean side, turned right, walked to the end of the road, and took the path on the right that leads to the beach, where the boarding area was! I made it just in time.

Before boarding, I took some photos, and since the waves hit below the knees, wearing shorts was definitely the right choice. I enjoyed the sunset while sipping on a Mai Tai, with music playing loudly. It was the perfect optional tour for the last day of this trip!

余裕をもって乗り場のあるシェラトンホテル周辺にいたのに、シェラトンからビーチの通り抜けができず、焦りまくり…。道順の説明が分かりづらかった。結局、ビーチウォークを海側まで歩き、右折し、道の終わりまで歩いて、右手にビーチにでる小道を行けば、乗り場がありましたよ！ギリギリで間に合いました。

乗船前に写真を撮り、乗り込むのですが、膝下は波がかかるので、ショートパンツで正解でした。
マイタイを飲みながら、サンセットを楽しむ。しかもガンガン音楽を流して。今回の旅の最終日にぴったりのオプショナルツアーでした！

Pickup from the hotel was smooth, and we were able to enjoy the activities! It was really beautiful and amazing! However, the wind was strong, and the boat was rocking, which made me feel seasick. I wish I had taken seasickness medication with me.

I recommend it to those who are going!

ホテルからピックアップ、
スムーズな流れでアクティビティができました！
すごくキレイで最高でした！
が風がきつくて、船が揺れて船酔いしてしまい
船酔いの薬を飲んでいけばよかったなーと。

行かれるかたはお勧めしますー！

Great Captain & Barman/Crew hand/everything person. Music requests from passengers all included and plenty of drink - lots of fun with good care from the 2 crew!

I booked a 2-hour course starting at 10:05. I arrived in about an hour, but with the check-in process, there wasn't much time for a leisurely lunch, so I bought a large muffin at the shop. There weren't many options at the shop, and both the restaurant and shop had higher prices. There are benches available, so I think it's better to bring light snacks like bread. It was a hot day, and I was sweating quite a bit, but it felt cool when passing through the shade of the trees. Since we walked through shaded areas, muddy paths, and stream-like trails, wearing clothes that can get dirty is a good idea. We were a team of six, and when the guiding staff instructed us to hurry, we would start jogging a bit, but all the horses were well-behaved! Large bags can be stored in lockers, but you can bring water, your phone, and a camera. The 2 hours felt long, but the scenery was wonderful, and it was a fun and great experience.

ピックアップ10：05の2時間コースに予約しました。１時間ほどで到着ですが、受付などしているとゆっくり昼食の時間がなく、売店で大きめのマフィンを購入しました。売店もあまり種類がないのとレストラン・売店ともに値段が高めです。ベンチもあるのでパンなどの軽食を持参される方が良いかと思います。天気が良い日だったので、かなり暑く汗が出ましたが、木陰の間を通る時は涼しく感じます。木陰の間を通ったりぬかるんでいる道や小川のような道を歩くので汚れても良い服装が安心です。６人１チームでしたが、誘導するスタッフの支持で急ぐ時は、小走り程度に急に走り出しますがどの馬もおりこうでした！　大きな荷物はロッカーに預けますが、お水や携帯・カメラは持参できます。２時間長く感じますが景色も素晴らしく楽しい良い経験ができました。

Beautiful hike! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable! My husband and I learned a lot. Recommend this tour for all ages!

When I go to Hawaii, I often go horseback riding in various places, but the course here takes you through the mountains, and from near the top, you can see the ocean in its entirety, which is amazing. The well-trained, gentle horses sometimes like to nibble on grass along the way, so be careful.

ハワイに行くといろいろな場所で良く乗馬しますが、ここのコースは山の中を乗馬しますが頂上付近からは海が一望でき最高です。
良くなれたおとなしい馬が、たまに道草を食べたがりますので注意です。

My 5 year old daughter had the time of her life. The staff were amazing!!

Dom was a great guide. we loved the historical facts and being able to climb all over the Big Mo.

From the time we were greeted to the final good byes it was a perfect day. everyone was so kind and gracious. Our guide Raff was outstanding and is considered ohana to us. He was very knowledgeable and took care of us so well we didn't want the day to end.
Next time we return to Hawaii we will come back to Polynesian Cultural Center.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The facility was clean, and the instructors were really nice. I had a great time in the great outdoors. They also took photos, which helped me create lasting memories.

施設も綺麗でインストラクターの方もすごく良い方でした。
大自然の中ですごく楽しめました。
写真も撮ってもらえるので思い出に残りました。

The staff who picked us up, the staff during parasailing, and all the other staff were kind, polite, and had great energy. I think you should definitely experience the stunning views when you come to Hawaii. Motion sickness medication is a must!

ピックアップしてくれたスタッフ、パラセーリング中のスタッフなど、すべてのスタッフが親切で丁寧でノリが良かったです。ハワイにきたら絶景やるべきだと思います。酔い止めは必須です！

To relieve daily stress, both the captain and the passengers were cheerful people, and the mood was high. The view from the ship was also exceptional.

日頃のストレス解消、船長も乗客も、陽気な人達で、気持ちは、ハイテンション、達しました、船からの景色も、また、格別でした

Thrill of a lifetime
Wanted to see Pearl Harbor and had little time before flying out San Francisco
Open doors make for exciting time
Seeing Honolulu from above quite a treat

We took a boat to the submarine, and it felt great to look at Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. However, the submarine experience was more about staring at the blue ocean rather than seeing a variety of colorful fish, which might get boring towards the end. Additionally, the monotone of the Japanese audio guide made me gradually feel sleepy while listening.

潜水艦に乗るところまでは船で向かい、海からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めて気持ち良かったです。潜水艦は色とりどりの魚が見られるというよりも、ブルーな海中をずっと見ている感じで後半は飽きてくるかもしれません。さらに日本語オーディオガイドのトーンが単調なせいか、聞いていると次第に眠くなってしまいました。

The meeting time was early at 4:15, which was tough, but once I flew, I understood why. I felt like a bird on a global scale, surrounded by the coastline and horizon illuminated by the morning sun, stretching endlessly.

I was relieved to have staff who spoke Japanese. My instructor and photographer were both handsome and quiet, just like my 26-year-old son! When I said I was nervous, he replied, "Me too..." and I started to worry if he was inexperienced, but it seemed he might just not be good with Japanese people. Once we got on the Cessna, he quickly set everything up, and after we took off, he talked to me a lot, showed me beautiful scenery, and made thrilling turns. I even got to steer the parachute, which was a valuable experience.

I tried to keep a big smile, but my mouth got so dry! If you put your mind to it, you can do anything! My perspective on life has changed!

集合時間が4:15と早く、辛かったけれど飛んでみて納得。朝日に照らされた海岸線や水平線が限りなく広がるなか、地球規模の鳥になれました。

日本語が通じるスタッフがいて安心でした。
私のインストラクターもカメラマンも、イケメンで寡黙な26才
息子と同じ歳！
ドキドキすると言ったら、僕も・・・って経験が浅いのかと不安になりましたが、そうではなく、日本人が苦手なのかな？
セスナに乗ったらテキパキとセッティングしてくれて、飛び出したあとは、たくさん話しかけてくれて、美しい景色を見せてくれたり、クルクル旋回してスリルを味合わせてくれました。
パラシュートの操縦もさせてもらえて、貴重な体験でした。

ビッグスマイルを心がけていたら、口の中がカラッカラに-_-b
死ぬ気になれば何でもできる‼️
人生観もかわりました‼️

In the morning, I rode an electric bike, and in the afternoon, I was supposed to go kayaking, but it was canceled due to bad weather.

The electric bike had a strong assist, so even with a light pedal, the front wheel would lift. It easily rolled over rocks (not stones) and climbed steep hills with ease.

There seemed to be two courses, and we split at the first fork: one for a group with women and the other for a men-only group. I was in the men-only group, and according to the instructor, this one was more intense and fun.

I participated with my 60-year-old father (who does some hiking) and I, at 24 (who enjoys sports like snowboarding and riding bikes). My father managed to finish, albeit with some effort. Personally, I thought it was a great experience. It was truly thrilling and physically demanding, and I would say it felt dangerous; I doubt such a course would be permitted in Japan.

The scenery was beautiful, and the course allowed us to enjoy the great outdoors. There were several spots that resembled scenes from the Jurassic Park movies. However, there were genuinely dangerous moments as well. Please enjoy it without pushing yourself too hard and keep your speed in check.

*You will get quite muddy, so be mindful of your clothing.
*Make sure to buy water beforehand.
*Having sunglasses would be beneficial.
*If you're not confident in your physical ability, it's best to inform them in advance.
*If you imagine the summer vacation from 2019 with Ariyoshi, you might feel despair.

午前中に電動バイク
午後にカヤックでしたが、悪天候のため
カヤックは中止になりました。

電動バイクはアシストがかなり強く、軽くこいでもフロントが上がります。岩（石ではなく岩）を踏んでもガンガン乗り越えるし、坂道もグイグイ登ります。

コースは２つあるようで初めの分かれ道で分かれました、一つは女性のいるグループ、もう一つは男性のみのグループ。
私は男性のみのグループでしたが、インストラクター曰くこっちの方が激しく楽しいそうです。

60歳の父（山登り程度の運動をする）と24の私（スノボ等運動好き、バイクも乗る）で参加しましたが、父は“なんとか”完走できました。
私的にはいい体験ができたなと思いました。
本当にスリリングで体力を使う内容で、
あえて言わせてもらうなら危険で、日本だと許可おりないだろうなと思うコースです。

景色は綺麗、コースも大自然を堪能できます。ジュラシックパークの映画でみた光景も何箇所かみれます。
ただし、本当に危険な場面もありました。無理をせずにスピードを抑えて楽しんでください。

※かなり泥で汚れます。服装には注意
※水を買っておきましょう
※サングラスがあるといいです
※体力に自信がない方は事前に申告した方が吉
※2019年有吉の夏休みを想像してると絶望します。

I participated with my mother and aunt (both in their 60s). We enjoyed the sunset over the ocean while it was still light, and by the time we returned, we could see the night view of Waikiki from the sea. The duration was about 1 hour and 30 minutes, which might feel long for those who are not used to being on a boat, but I think it allows you to fully enjoy the waters of Hawaii.

母親と叔母（共に60代）を連れて参加しました。明るいうちから、海上でサンセット、戻る頃には海からワイキキの夜景が見れました。時間は1:30程で船に慣れてない人は長いかなと感じますが、ハワイの海を充分に堪能できると思います。

The staff's guidance was friendly, and there are plenty of zip lines with long distances, so you can enjoy it to the fullest. Additionally, you can enjoy the scenery of both the sea and the mountains, making it a great value experience.

スタッフの方々の案内も親切で、ジップラインの本数も多く距離も長いので、たっぷり楽しめます。
また景色まで海も山も楽しめて、お得感満載です。

Since it was 150 meters high, the view was unexpectedly great, and it felt really nice. I recommend it. It's just a short walk from the Hilton, so it's easy to participate.

１５０ｍにしたので、思いのほか高いので、景色もよくとても気持ちがよかったです。お勧めです。
ヒルトンから歩いてすぐなので、手軽に参加できます。

I had read reviews that it takes a long time to get to standby, so I was prepared for that, but I was called within 30 minutes and got on the Cessna. My ears hurt from the pressure during the descent, but once the parachute opened, the view was truly beautiful and I really enjoyed it.

スタンバイまで時間がかかるとの口コミ読んでいたので覚悟して行きましたが、30分もしないうちに呼ばれて、セスナに乗ってた。落下中は気圧で耳が痛くなったけど、パラシュート開いてからは景色が本当に綺麗で楽しめました。

I participated in the 150m.
The view from above was beautiful, and it became a great memory.
I didn't feel as much fear as I expected.
If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication before participating.

150mに参加しました。
上からの景色は奇麗で、良い思い出になりました。
思ったほど、恐怖感はありませんでした。
酔いやすい方は、酔い止めを飲んでからの参加をお勧めします。

We floated up, smiling without a care, with the hotels of Waikiki, the blue sky, and the blue sea in front of us. It was the best. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication while waiting to get to the point.

ふわりと上がって、恐怖心もなく二人でニコニコ顔、目の前にはワイキキのホテルと青い空と青い海、最高でした。
ポイントまで行くのと順番を待つまで、酔い止め飲んだ方がいいかも。

I participate every time I go to Hawaii! We are the only Japanese people, and although we can't speak Japanese, we manage somehow! The atmosphere is great, and it's always a lot of fun. Since the boat sways, if you drink too much, you'll feel quite wobbly after getting off, haha.

ハワイに行くたびに参加しています！
日本人は私たちだけで、日本語も通じないですが何とかなります！ノリが良く、毎回とても楽しいです。船の揺れがあるので飲み過ぎると降りたあと結構フラつきます笑

I had always wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, and after taking riding lessons in Japan, my dream finally came true. During a two-hour tour of locations from Jurassic Park, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery on horseback in great weather.

いつかはハワイで乗馬がしたいと、日本で乗馬を習っていましたが、ついに念願が叶いました。
ジュラシックパーク撮影地などを巡る2時間、天気が良く素晴らしい景色を馬に乗って堪能しました。

We were definitely not disappointed with booking this activity. The crew was super cool and chill and just created a good atmosphere and vibe overall. Would definitely book with these guys again. And the Mai Tais were delicious.

The crew really made that whole cruise awesome! The drinks were great and the sunset was gorgeous... the only thing I didn’t like was how choppy the water was, but that’s really out of their control!

It seems that various impersonators are performing, and this time it was Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.

The charm of hula, the power of the drums, and the fire dance, mixed with nostalgic performances of Elvis and Michael Jackson, created a story-filled stage that made the hour and a half fly by. The show, which involved not just the stage but also the venue, was extremely satisfying.

色々なそっくりさんが出演されるようですが、今回は、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンでした。

フラの魅力、太鼓の迫力、ファイヤーダンスに、懐かしのエルビスやマイケルジャクソンをおりまぜ、ストーリーのあるステージは、あっという間の1時間半でした。
ステージだけでなく、会場も巻き込んでのショーは、大満足でした。

I've often heard that it changes your perspective on life, and it's definitely true. The intensity and thrill are incredible. The instructor was kind, which helped reduce my fear by half. (laughs)

人生観変わるってよく聞いてましたが、確かにその通り。迫力とスリルはハンパありません。
インストラクターも親切で恐怖心は半減できました。（笑）
