All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The Manu Kai Catamaran crew was amazing! They were very welcoming and entertaining! They were constantly checking on us about drinks and making sure we were comfortable. The sunset/scenic views were absolutely stunning. It was well worth what you paid, with drinks included! I would highly recommend. Mahalo!

I have been to Hawaii over ten times, but this was my first visit to Kualoa Ranch. I thought a two-hour horseback ride might be long, but I decided to book it since I felt two hours would be necessary to see places like the filming locations of Jurassic World. My horse was very gentle and well-behaved. There were some horses that started eating the grass by the roadside and stopped along the way. (I realized this is what "taking a detour" really means.) Experiencing the grandeur of Kualoa Ranch was amazing, and I was moved to think that they filmed Jurassic World and King Kong here. However, I must say that after two hours of riding, my backside was quite sore.

ハワイには10数回行きましたがクアロアランチには初めて行きました。2時間の乗馬は長いかなと思いましたが、ジュラシックワールドの撮影地などを見て回るには2時間は必要かなと思い予約しました。私の馬はとても素直で大人しく良い子でした。中には途中で道端の雑草などを食べ始めて止まってしまう馬がいました。（これが本当の「道草を食う」と分かりました。）クアロアランチの雄大さを体感し、ここであのジュラシックワールドやキングコングを撮影したんだと感動しました。さすがに2時間の乗馬は最後にお尻が痛かったです。

Skydiving was something I absolutely wanted to do the next time I came to Hawaii. My long-awaited dream has come true. The beautiful scenery of Oahu was so breathtaking that any feelings of fear just disappeared. I believe everyone should try it at least once in their lifetime. It was so amazing that it brought me to tears!!

次ハワイにきたら絶対と思っていたスカイダイビング。念願の夢が叶いました。怖いなんて感情が吹っ飛んでしまうくらい綺麗なオアフの景色。死ぬまでに一回はやるべきだと思います。涙が出るくらい最高でした！！

unreal amazing views and places how close you get is unreal
a must do
been to Hawaii before and missed out doing this
this time booked before we left home
this is the most eye opening thing you will do in your life
will do again again again if I get the chance

Due to bad weather from the night until early morning, all morning tours were canceled, and it seems that all afternoon tours except for ours were also canceled. Thanks to that, we had the boat to ourselves and were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. When the sun came out, it was very beautiful, and even though it was mid-November, it wasn't cold. We also saw the honu several times!

夜から未明にかけて天候不良だったため、午前のツアーは全部キャンセルされ、午後のツアーも私たちのツアー以外はキャンセルとのことでした。
おかげで私たちの船のお客さんしかいなく、ゆっくりと楽しめました。陽が射すととてもきれいで、11月中旬でしたが寒くはありませんでした。
ホヌも何回も見られました！

I splurged a bit and got seats in the VIP section in front of the stage, and it was really great. The range of music from flamenco to pop was wide, and the time flew by.

ちょっと奮発してVIPのステージ前席にしましたが、とてもよかったです。
フランダンスからポップミュージックまで幅広く、あっという間の時間でした。

This was my second time using this service, following last year. The waves were quite high and it was a bit rocky, but you can see the coastline lined with hotels and a different view of Diamond Head from off Waikiki. Mai Tais and other alcoholic drinks are all-you-can-drink, and since I overindulged last year, I kept it moderate this time and enjoyed taking pictures of the scenery. Next time, I’d like to invite my sons to join!

昨年に続き、二回目の利用でした。
結構波が高く揺れましたが、ワイキキ沖から見るホテルが並ぶ海岸線や、ダイアモンドヘッドのまた違った表情を見ることができます。
マイタイや他のアルコールも飲み放題で、昨年は飲み過ぎたので、今年は控えめにして、景色の撮影を楽しみました。
次回は息子たちを誘って利用したいですね！

I had a great time at the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling. The duration of the stay was perfect, and I have no complaints!

サンドバー、ウミガメウォッチ、シュノーケル全てにおいて楽しかったです。滞在時間も絶妙で言うことありません！

When we arrived at the sandbar, the water was about waist-deep, and by the time we were heading back, it had risen to chest-deep. I was hoping we could walk on the sandbank, so that was disappointing. I think it would be helpful if there was an indication of the approximate water depth when signing up for the tour.

Snorkeling starts from a place where you can stand, which is reassuring for beginners, but it suddenly drops to about 10 meters deep, so those who are not good at swimming may feel scared.

Other activities like stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking were fun. However, it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't go very far and that if there were many people wanting to use them, we could only use them for a short time.

The grilled meat for lunch was delicious. There was plenty, and I went back for seconds multiple times.

Next time, I would like to participate after checking the tide conditions.

サンドバーに着いた時は腰のあたりまでの水深で、帰りの頃には胸のあたりまでの水深となっていました。砂洲を歩けるのかと期待していたのですが残念です。申し込む時に、ツアー参加時のだいたいの水深の目安が書いてあれば親切なのにと思いました。
シュノーケリングは足の着く場所からスタートするので初心者も安心ですが、
急に10メートルくらいの深さになるので、水泳の苦手な人は恐怖を感じます。
その他のアクティビティでSUPやカヤックは楽しかったです。ただ、近くのみであまり遠くには行けないのと、利用希望者が多いと短時間しか使えないのがちょっと残念でした。
ランチの焼肉は美味しかったです。沢山あって何度もおかわりしました。
次は潮目を確認してから参加したいと思います。

I ended up eating a bit too much for lunch, so I couldn't enjoy the meal I was looking forward to. Even though I had ordered sparkling wine, I couldn't drink it during the meal and got scolded by my wife for my lack of planning. However, I was able to bring it to my seat to enjoy while watching the show, which turned out to be a nice experience.

The staff was very busy taking care of meals and taking photos from the moment we checked in. When the show started, they were also performing, and I was impressed by their incredible multitasking. However, I felt that there were many impersonators of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley in the show. Since I often see these two in Las Vegas shows, I would have preferred a stronger local flavor from Hawaii.

昼御飯をちょっと多く食べてしまい、楽しみだった食事はあまり食べることができませんでした。スパークリングワインも追加オーダーしていたのに、食事中には飲むことができず、妻から計画性のなさに怒られてしまいました。しかしショーを見る客席に持ち込むことができ、ショーを見ながらゆっくり飲めたので、逆によかった気がします。
スタッフはチェックインの時から食事の世話や写真撮影で大忙しでした。
ショーが始まったらそこにも出演していて、八面六臂の大活躍で感心しました。ただ、ショーの中身としては、マイケルジャクソンやエルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんの出演部分が多かったと思います。この二人はラスベガスのショーでも多く見かけるので、ハワイのローカル色がもう少し強い方が好きです。

I had reserved a seat in the front, but in reality, I had a great view from the third row. It was a seat directly in front of the stage, which was wonderful. I received a fresh flower lei and had a great time. Since the seats are not assigned, it seems you can sit in the front if you arrive early. Be careful of the pigeons wandering around your feet; you might accidentally step on them.

前の方の席を予約していたのですが、実際、3列目でよく見えました。舞台の真正面の席で、良かったです。生花のレイをかけてもらえ、楽しい時間を過ごせました。席は決まっていないので、早目に行くと前に座れるようです。鳩が足元をうろうろしているので、足元に注意が必要です。踏みつけそうになります。

The Sunset Sailing offered by Hilton is more expensive compared to those from Sheraton or Outrigger, but since I was staying at Hilton, I chose this tour. It was great that the meeting place was close, allowing me to use the time before departure meaningfully. Although the limit was set to two alcoholic drinks, the crew didn't seem to collect the vouchers. As a result, I was able to enjoy as many drinks as I wanted. Perhaps due to the alcohol, I didn't feel the sway of the boat at all. I was also satisfied to see a beautiful sunset. I gave a generous tip as a thank you.

ヒルトン発のサンセットセーリングは、シェラトン発やアウトリガー発に比べ料金が高いですが、ヒルトンに宿泊していたのでこのツアーを選びました。
集合場所が近いので出発までの時間を有意義に使えて良かったです。
アルコールは２杯までとなっていましたが、クルーが引換券を受け取ろうとせず。結果的には何杯でもいただくことが出来ました。
アルコールで酔ったせいか、船の揺れはまったく感じませんでした。
きれいな夕日も見ることができ満足です。
お礼にチップを多めに渡してきました。

It's a small, homey group!
I definitely recommend this tour.
This time, there were a lot of dolphins, so it was lucky.
The scenery, the sea, the dolphins, and the crew were all amazing.

少人数でアットホーム！
このツアーは必ず進めます。
今回はイルカの数が多く、ラッキーだったそうです。
景色、海、イルカ、クルーの方最高です。

The guide was a delightful person, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Since there isn't time to change before and after the flight, I think it's best to go dressed appropriately to board the boat and fly right away. I participated from 150m, and the flight time was just right—not too long and not too short. I put my smartphone in a waterproof case, and I was able to take many photos and videos while flying, which made for wonderful memories! Thank you very much!

ガイドさんが愉快な方で雰囲気良く楽しませてもらえました。
飛ぶ前後に着替える時間などはないので、船に乗ってそのまま飛べる格好で向かうといいと思います。
150mで参加しましたが、飛んでいる時間は長過ぎず短過ぎず、ちょうど良かったです。
スマホを防水ケースに入れて、飛んでいる間もたくさん写真や動画を取れて、とてもいい思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました！

I was a bit anxious about the early morning departure, but I was picked up near the hotel, so it was fine!!

During the trip, we watched an explanatory video and filled out a waiver, which saved us time.

We arrived early, so we were able to go skydiving sooner and return to the hotel early! It seems like it's first-come, first-served, so it was great that we got to the skydiving facility early that day! Lucky!

The staff were great and made sure we enjoyed the thrill even with my halting English!! There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring!

早朝出発で朝不安でしたが、ホテル近くまで迎えに来てもらえたので、大丈夫でした！！

道中に説明ビデオを見たり、誓約書を書いたりして時短になりました。

早めに到着できたので、早めにスカイダイビングをでき、ホテルに早めに帰ってくることができました！
どうも先着順なようで、当日早くスカイダイビング施設にいけたことがよかったようです！ラッキー

スタッフもこちらの辿々しい英語でもスリル感を楽しませてくれてよかったです！！
日本語喋れるスタッフもいて安心できました！

I waited for an hour.

I called and somehow managed to get another bus to come, but even after arriving, there was no time at all, and I hurriedly went horseback riding just in time for the return bus.

It might just be a coincidence, but I'm so disappointed that I feel like I want my money back.

I had trusted Veltra quite a bit, so it's even more disappointing. I was using it to avoid these kinds of troubles, but after this experience, it feels like there's not much point in using it anymore. I don't have the mental space to enjoy these kinds of troubles.

1時間待ちぼうけ
電話してなんとか別のバスが回ってくれたものの、到着しても時間が全くなく急いで乗馬のみして帰りのバスの時間

たまたまなんでしょうが、金返してほしいくらいがっかり

結構veltra信用してただけに余計残念
こういうトラブルがないように使っていたのに、ここまでされると使う意味があまりない
トラブルを楽しめるほどの心の余裕はありません

While I was snorkeling, a turtle unexpectedly came close, and it was so much fun! My friend, who couldn't snorkel, enjoyed taking photos and relaxing on a big boogie board while waiting for me.

シュノーケリングをしている時に、偶然近くに亀が来てくれて、とっても楽しかったです！
シュノーケリングができない友人も、私を待つ間、写真を撮ったり、大きいビート板でのんびりしたりと、満喫していました。

It was a one-hour mountain biking course. The staff accompanied us at the front and back, and at several spots, we stopped to listen to explanations and take photos. When I asked the staff to take pictures, they used props to create fun photos and videos, which was really enjoyable!

The mountain biking ended just after 10 AM, but the return bus only departed at 1 PM, leaving us with over two hours of free time... Since there were no other activities I wanted to add for an extra fee, I canceled the return bus (no refunds) and made my way back on my own with THE BUS.

Please be cautious if you choose to include transportation!

マウンテンバイク1時間のコースでした。
スタッフの方が前方と後方についてくれて、いくつかのスポットでは停車して、説明を聞いたり、写真を撮ったりしました。
スタッフの方に撮影をお願いすると、小道具を使ったりして面白い写真や動画を撮ってくれて、とっても楽しかったです！

マウンテンバイクは10時すぎに終わったのですが、帰りのバスが13時発しかなくて、2時間以上時間が空いてしまうことに…
別料金を払ってまで追加したい他のアクティビティもなかったので、帰りのバスをキャンセルして(返金はありません)、THE BUSで自力で帰ってきました。

送迎を付ける場合はご注意ください！

It was my first time going to Hawaii with my parents. My mother tried parasailing for the first time. At first, she said it was scary, but as she got used to it, she started talking about how beautiful the scenery was and seemed to enjoy it. Thank you!

両親と初めて一緒に行ったハワイ。母は初めてのパラセーリング でしたが、初め怖いと言っていましたが、慣れてくると景色が綺麗ねと話したり余裕も出てきて楽しんでいました。ありがとうございました！

I was quite anxious about surfing for the first time, but I was able to enjoy it.

The staff communicated clearly by mixing English and Japanese.

There was also an American staff member who had lived in Japan, and he shared interesting stories from that time!

There were staff members who spoke Korean as well, which gave the impression that people of all nationalities could enjoy themselves!

I got seasick from the waves, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are anxious.

初めてのサーフィンで不安が大きかったですが、楽しむことができました。
英語と日本語を混ぜながら、分かりやすく伝えていただきました。

日本に住んでいたこともあるアメリカ人スタッフもおり、面白く当時の話をしてくれました！

韓国語を話せるスタッフもいて、あらゆる国籍の方にも楽しんでいただける印象でした！

波で酔ってしまいましたので、不安な方は酔い止めをお勧めします。

It was a 2-hour horseback riding course. I have experienced horseback riding several times before, but I wonder if the horses in Hawaii are bigger? About 10 minutes after we started, my back and waist began to hurt, and then my hips as well... However, the weather was great, and the views of the vast nature, mountains, and ocean while riding were amazing! Next time I go horseback riding in Hawaii, I think I'll sign up for a shorter session.

2時間の乗馬コースでした。
今まで 何度か乗馬を経験してきましたが ハワイのお馬さんは大きいのかな？
スタートしてから10分程で 背中腰回りが痛くなり始め その後股関節までもが...w
ですが お天気にも恵まれ 広大な自然と山 海
乗馬しながらの眺めは最高でした！
次またハワイでの乗馬をする時は 短い時間で申し込もうと思ってます。

Although it was the rainy season, it didn't rain, and it was a bit cold, but they lent us wetsuits, so we were able to have a great time! I was very happy to see the Honu so close! The staff were all friendly people! I want to go again during the dry season next time!

雨季ということもありましたが雨は降ることはなく
少し寒かったですがウエットスーツも貸していただき
思う存分遊べました！
Honuがこんなにも近くで見れるとは思っておらずとても嬉しかったです！
スタッフの方も気さくな人ばかりでした！
次は乾季のときにもう1回行きたいと思います！

The sandbar was very beautiful and impressive. The BBQ lunch was also delicious. I was very happy to see the honu up close.

サンドバーはとてもきれいで感動しました。
BBQランチもおいしかったです。
ホヌも間近で見れて嬉しい限りでした。

Due to the boat departing very late, the tide was a lot higher than what was expected to be. The staff were great however it all depends on the weather and if the boat is ready to leave on time. For the amount you pay, it's a pricy experience.

I eat pineapple ice cream at Dole and shop at my usual store in Haleiwa. It's quite challenging to go alone, so this is very helpful. I can easily bring back a lot of shopping to Waikiki, which is convenient.

ドールでパイナップルアイスを食べて、ハレイワのいつものお店で買い物をします。
個人で行くにはけっこう大変なので、とても助かっています。
たくさんの買い物も、ワイキキまで楽々持って帰ってこれますし便利です。

It was amazing to watch the sunset, drink a Mai Tai, feel the sea breeze, and see the night views of Diamond Head and Waikiki.

夕日を眺めながら、マイタイを飲みながら、潮風をうけながら、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの夜景を見るのが、最高でした。

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon. I have a fear of heights, but since my husband wanted to ride, I thought I would try it for the memories and made a reservation! I chose the maximum height of 150 meters. At first, I completely forgot about the height because it was so beautiful, but suddenly I thought, "Wow, this is high! This is scary!" (laughs) I was filming the whole time with my GoPro, so it became a great memory. I also requested the additional photo for $30, which turned out to be a nice keepsake. I recommend getting photos taken from below; it makes for great memories. Next time I go, I think I'll book around 90 meters. (laughs)

ハネムーンでハワイにいきました。
わたしは、高所恐怖症だったんですが、夫が乗りたいと言っていたので記念に乗ってみようと思い予約させていただきました！
高さは最高の150Mを選びました。でも最初は全然綺麗で高さを忘れていましたが途中から急に、たかっ！こわっ！ってなりました。笑ずっとゴープロでムービー撮ってたのでいい思い出です。
追加料金の写真も30ドルでお願いしましたがいい思い出になりました。下から撮ってもらうのおすすめです。いい思い出になります。次行った時は、90Mくらいで予約しようと思います。笑

I joined because I wanted to swim in the Angel Sea (^O^)／ I was surprised to see so many turtles and a lot of fish near the coral (＾_＾) I needed an underwater camera (^O^)／

天使の海で泳ぎたくて参加しました(^O^)／亀が一杯みれて珊瑚の近くで魚が一杯見れたのはびっくりでした（＾_＾）水中カメラが必要でした(^O^)／

This tour is packed with activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at the sandbar. During snorkeling, we even encountered sea turtles napping on the coral! Additionally, the lunch, which I wasn't expecting much from, turned out to be an amazing barbecue.

サンドバーにシュノーケリングにサップ体験にと、盛りだくさんのツアーです。シュノーケリングではサンゴでお昼寝する海ガメにも遭遇！また、期待してなかったランチも本格的なBBQで最高でした。

During our honeymoon, we participated in some activities. Suddenly, we had a hula dance experience with several other honeymoon couples. I thought we would just be watching a show, but it turned out to be a fun experience.

ハネムーンの際にアクティビティに参加しました。突然ハネムーンカップル数組でフラダンス体験。ショーを見るだけかと思いましたが楽しい体験ができました。
