All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I was thrilled to see dolphins so clearly! I didn't expect to see them up close, so it was truly moving. The slide activity was incredibly fun!

イルカがばっちり見れて最高でした！
こんなに近くで見れると思ってなかったので感動でした。
アクティビティの滑り台が最高に楽しかったです！

from start to finish a must do for families wanting that extra fun activity to do. picked up from central location from hotel and dropped off at pier. very organized after drop off and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. my daughter and I enjoyed the vessel and the captain doing narration & made it fun

We had some much fun!! Even with the rain it was a really enjoyable experience.

Departure at 11:00 is great. If you take the first flight, you might end up boarding the boat sleep-deprived, which can make you more prone to seasickness. So, for those who are sensitive, I recommend the second departure to get a good sleep, enjoy breakfast slowly, take some motion sickness medication, and then head to the boat! Thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy the activities on the boat without getting seasick.

All the staff were cheerful, and I felt just as relaxed as I did with the dolphins! In Japan, every day is about worrying if you have to conform to certain expectations, but participating in this tour reminded me of the importance of living authentically. I got to see many dolphins and colorful fish, and I was able to fully experience the Hawaiian sea without getting bored, thanks to activities like SUP and the slide on the boat! Mahalo!

11時出発、すごくいいです。1便だと、睡眠不足で船に乗ることになるので、酔いやすい方は2便の出発にして、よく寝て、朝食をゆっくり食べて、酔い止め飲んで船へ！お陰様で、酔うことなく船でのアクティビティを全力で楽しむことができました。
スタッフは全員愉快で、イルカと同じくらい癒されました！日本だと◯◯でなければならないと人に気をつかう毎日ですが、このツアーに参加して自分らしく生きることの大切さを思い出した気がしました。たくさんのイルカ、カラフルな魚にも会えて、SUPや船についてるスベリ台など、飽きずにハワイの海を全身に感じることができました！mahalo！

From the pick-up to the parasailing, everything was enjoyable without any issues! I felt reassured when they spoke a little Japanese. I chose the 150m parasailing, and it went really high, offering a fantastic view. We went in the morning and finished by noon, so I think we made good use of our day.

送迎からパラセイリングまで、問題なく楽しめました！
日本語も少し話してもらって安心できました。
パラセイリングは150mにしましたが、すごく高くまで上がり、景色が一望できました。
朝から行って午前中には終わったので、1日の時間が有効活用できると思います。

I participated in the afternoon session. The sandbar had water up to my knees even in shallow areas. Still, I was able to take many wonderful photos! The staff members all spoke Japanese and were very proactive in taking pictures and showing great consideration. Also, the lunch was delicious! It was so good that I went back for seconds! Snorkeling was a lot of fun, with sea turtles coming very close and plenty of fish to see!! If you have a GoPro, you can capture the fish and sea turtles underwater, so I definitely recommend bringing one if you have it! It would also be great to have a float. I participated in November, and while it was a warm day, the water was still a bit cold... I recommend bringing a thick hoodie ('ω').

I definitely want to participate again (〃ω〃)ノ

午後の部に参加させていただきました。
サンドバーは、浅いところでも水が膝上くらいでした。
それでも、素敵な写真がたくさん取れました！
スタッフさんが日本語が話せる方ばっかりで積極的に写真を撮ってくださったり、気配りも素晴らしかったです。
そして、ランチが美味しかったです！
美味しくて、おかわりをしちゃうくらいでした！
シュノーケリングも、ウミガメがとっても近くて魚もいっぱい見れてとても楽しかったです！！
Go Proがあれば、水の中のお魚やウミガメも撮れるので、ある方は絶対持って行った方が良いです！浮きがあればなお良いと思います。
11月の参加で、暖かい日でしたが、それでも水の中が少し寒かった…。厚手のパーカーを持っていくことをお勧めします('ω')

またぜひ、参加したいと思います(〃ω〃)ノ

We had a great experience with the shuttle to Hanauma Bay. The driver was very polite and helpful. The van was comfortable and the timing was perfect. The company representative I talked to on the phone was very helpful and gave me excellent advice on where to park our car while we were on the excursion. I would highly recommend this experience. Well worth the price!

This was the activity I was looking forward to the most before my trip, and it turned out to be the most fun! I really recommend it!

On the day of the activity, my morning schedule ran late, and I nervously called to see if I could change the time. They kindly responded in Japanese to accommodate my limited English, and my time was successfully changed. The gentleman who came to pick us up was very cheerful! Since there were only two groups, including us, I think the waiting time on the boat was short!

Then it was our turn to go up into the air! We chose 150 meters, and I'm glad we did! Looking down was scary, but when I looked up, a wonderful view spread out before me, and it really boosted my spirits! It lasted about five minutes, but I wanted to do it more!

This is definitely an activity I want to do again when I go back to Hawaii!

旅行前から１番楽しみにしていたアクティビティで、結果１番楽しかったです(^^)！！本当におススメです☆
当日午前の予定が押してしまい、時間変更の希望が出来るか恐る恐る電話をかけると、英語が不慣れなこちらに合わせて日本語で対応してくださり、時間もちゃんと変更されていました。お迎えに来てくれるおじさんはとても愉快な方です♪今回行った時間では、私達を含め2組だけでしたので、船上での待機時間は短かったと思います！
そして私達の順番がきていざ空中へ！１５０mにしましたが、これにしてよかった！下を見ると怖いですが、顔を上げると素晴らしい景色が広がっていて、本当にテンションがあがります！！！５分程でしたがもっとやりたかったー(>_<)
またハワイに行ったら絶対やりたいアクティビティです！

Coral has settled on the sunken aircraft and ship right in front of me, and colorful fish are swarming around, allowing me to truly enjoy the natural food chain.

目の前に沈んだ航空機や船に珊瑚が住み付き、色とりどりの魚が群れていて自然の食物連鎖がリアルに楽しめました。

I’m really glad I did it! I went for 120m, but I slightly regret not going for 150m. The driver, Yano, was very friendly and funny, and he wrote down some great restaurant recommendations and took me back to the hotel multiple times. I can’t thank him enough for everything he did. It turned out to be a fun honeymoon!

とっても気持ちよくやってよかったです！120mにしたのですが、150mにしたらよかったなと少し後悔です。ドライバーのヤノさん？とても気さくで面白くて、美味しいお店を書き出してくれたり何度もホテルまで送っていただいたり、終始よくしていただき感謝しかないです。楽しい新婚旅行になりました！

Excellent experience!!
Very beautiful place and our family really enjoy!!

So much fun, a highlight of our trip. The crew was wonderful. Highly recommend!!

A vast land that served as the filming location for various movies like Jurassic Park. I realized my dream of visiting here someday. It includes three types of experiences and meals, allowing us to enjoy nature in three different vehicles. I think it's a tour that you can't find in Japan.

Along the way, the guide spoke and played music that made us feel like we were in the world of Jurassic Park, and everyone on the ride got excited and cheered loudly. I'm glad I experienced it. Next, I want to try horseback riding too!

ジェラシックパークなどなどの様々な映画のロケ地となった広大な土地。いつか行ってみたいと思っていた事が実現しました。3種類の体験と食事付き、3種類の車での自然を体験してみて
日本には無いツアーだと思います。
途中、同行したガイドの方がまさにジェラシックパークの映画の世界に居るような曲と喋り方で、乗ってるみんなで興奮して大声で歓声を上げました。体験して良かったです。次は乗馬も体験したいです！

Whenever I go to Hawaii, I usually spend my time at the beach and shopping, so this time I wanted to try something more active and joined a tour. However, the waiting time between each tour was boring, especially with kids. There wasn't really anywhere to pass the time...

I think the tour content would be enjoyable for movie fans (those who know a lot about it). I only knew a little (and just some parts), so I started to find the tour tiring and wanted to go home by lunchtime, haha. The bumpy ride on the jungle tour was more intense than I imagined; it felt like a serious version of Star Tours at Tokyo Disneyland, haha. I was so busy trying to keep the kids in check that I couldn't really enjoy the scenery. But since I had wanted to go at least once, I’m glad I got to understand the content.

Since the time commitment is long, I think for those who are just a little interested, it would be sufficient to just stop by with a rental car. The ocean view from Kualoa Ranch was really beautiful and different from Waikiki Beach. I heard you can see whales in the winter, so I’d like to come back during that time. Sorry for digressing!

いつもハワイに行くとビーチ・お買い物だったので今回はアクティブにすごしてみたいと思い参加しました。
一つ一つのツアーの間の待ち時間が子供もいたので退屈でした。
時間潰せるようなところも特になかったので・・・。

ツアーの内容は、映画ファン（詳しい方）は楽しいんだと思います。
私は、少し知ってる（しかも一部）程度なので
途中からツアーがしんどくなりお昼時点で既に帰りたかったです　笑
ジャングルツアーの車の揺れが想像以上で東京ディズニーランドの
スターツアーズの本気揺れてるバージョンでした　笑
子供を抑えておくのに必死でそんなに景色も楽しめずでした。
でも一度行ってみたかったので内容がわかったよかったです。
拘束時間が長いので、少し見たいって方は、レンタカーで少し寄る程度で
充分かと思います。クアロア牧場から見える海はワイキキビーチとは違って
すごく綺麗でしたよ。くじらが冬に見えるそうなのでその時期にまた来たいです、話逸れましたが。

This was my third time. Each time, I rate it as the most enjoyable activity for my family. The hospitality of the guides is excellent. The hamburgers on the boat are delicious too. Don't forget the $5 for beer. We always see sea turtles, but this time we were able to see a manta ray. Everyone was thrilled. I will work hard again to return to the sandbar soon.

これで、３度目でした。毎回家族で一番楽しかったアクティビティと評価しています。とにかく、ガイドの方々のホスピタリティがいいです。船の上のハンバーガーもうまいです。ビール代５ドルも忘れずに。毎回海がめは見れるのですが、今回はマンタ様を拝見できました。一同感激でした。早くサンドバーに
戻る為、またお仕事頑張ります。

We had the time of our life. The crew were hilarious and made us laughed so hard. I would do it again 100 times! It was a huge adrenaline rush up at 1000 feet!

On the last day of our trip, we searched for activities near Waikiki and made a reservation the day before. The other participants were mostly foreigners, and there were no explanations in Japanese, but we managed to follow along. About 10 minutes after departure, snorkeling began. There weren't many fish, but we saw three sea turtles. The ocean was surprisingly beautiful. After that, we enjoyed sailing and took in views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. We had a lot more fun than we expected, even near Waikiki!

旅行最終日にワイキキ近くでできるアクティビティを探して前日申込みました。
参加者は私達夫婦以外は外人ばかりで、日本語の説明も全くありませんでしたが、流れでついていきました。
出航から10分くらいでシュノーケルが始まりました。魚はあまりいませんでしたが、ホヌは3匹は見れました。海は意外にもキレイでした。
その後セーリングでダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを海から眺めました。
ワイキキ近くでも予想以上に楽しめました！

I had always wanted to try skydiving. When our company trip to Hawaii was decided, I was really excited, but the other employees didn't agree, so I ended up signing up alone. However, the round-trip shuttle service to the hotel was included, and since they spoke Japanese, I felt safe participating alone.

After arriving and finishing the procedures, I had some free time, which felt a bit long, but once it started, it was fun to watch others come down from below. When it was my turn, I felt a bit nervous jumping out of the Cessna, but I was thrilled by the breathtaking view that unfolded before me, something I had never seen before.

As soon as I landed, I felt a little dizzy, and since I was in the last group, I had to get on the bus right away, which made me feel a bit unwell, but other than that, it was incredibly fun. If I have the chance again, I definitely want to do it again.

Also, I recommend purchasing the video and photos for an additional fee, as you can enjoy them later.

ずっとやりたかったスカイダイビング。社員旅行でハワイへ行くことになったので、張り切っていたのですが、他の社員さんには賛同してもらえず一人での申し込みになりました。
でも宿泊ホテルまで往復送迎付きで、日本語が通じるので、安心して一人でも参加できました。
到着し、手続きが終わってから少し時間があり、時間を持て余すのですが、開始になると下から他の方が降りて来るのを見るのも楽しかったです。
自分の番になり、セスナから飛び出る時に少しビビりましたが、目の前に広がった今まで見たことの無い景色と興奮にずっと大騒ぎしていました。
地上に降りてすぐ少し酔った感じになり、最後の班だった私は帰りのバスにすぐ乗らなければならず、ちょっと具合が悪かったのですが、それ以外はとてもとても楽しかったです。
次にまた機会があれば、絶対にまたやりたいです。
あと、別料金での動画や写真ですが、後から楽しめるので、購入をお勧めします。

Paul Patron was an excellent pilot, made the tour very calm and safe. Informed us interesting facts of the island.This is a MUST do, an experience like no other. We were able to see about 2/3 of Oahu by land on a 10 hr bus tour the day before and then be able to see the same amount of the island in 45 min!! Views were magnificent, just like if you were to see it on National Geographic or something.

This was our very 1st event when we arrived to Oahu, was so beautiful to see Waikiki from the sea. Got to see sunset and the moon too! They were all very attentive, offered us a drink as soon as we boarded. Even offered to take our pictures. =)
Relaxing and fun experience.

Dan arrived early for pick up at our hotel entrance. =) My wife and I have very little to no snorkeling experience, and our swimming experience is very limited. However, Dan and Cheiko made our adventure possible, great for beginners. Dan simplified the instructions to make it easy, fun, and safe for all. Cheiko was excellent in ensuring safety for me as I needed a bit more help/guidance. Saw lots of fishes and would do this all over again.

I'm so glad I did it!
I was able to have a life-changing experience!

The instructors were all really interesting people, which made me feel safe while flying!

It was truly amazing! If you're hesitating, you absolutely should do it!

とにかくやってよかった！
人生が変わる体験をすることができた！

インストラクターの方も面白い方々が沢山いて安心して飛ぶことができました！

ほんと最高です！
迷ってるのであれば絶対やるべきです！

I didn't catch anything at all, and the equipment and tackle were at a toy level. The location was also close to the port, so it didn't require much effort.

With just a quick money-making scheme, there's no way repeat customers will come back.

全く釣れず、道具も仕掛けもおもちゃレベルで場所も港から近くてエネルギー使ってない。

その場しのぎの金儲けだけで、リピーターが来るわけない

I saw dolphins a few times. It might be a luxury, but this is my evaluation of the tour.

First, make sure to arrive early when boarding the boat. The staff will ask you to fill in from the back, but those who know will sit in the front.

Sitting in the front makes it easier to secure a spot near the staff who are aware of where the dolphins are, as people in the front will jump into the sea first.

Also, it’s inconvenient if there’s no basket for your belongings under you, so try to sit where there is a basket.

You will inevitably have to swim close to the staff. Other guests may kick you or push you aside, but keep moving forward without giving up.

After seeing the dolphins, the staff will say, “Those who haven’t seen a dolphin yet, please come to the front,” but those who are at a distance where they can’t see the dolphins at that point cannot move forward.

This is because those who have seen the dolphins do not give up their spots.

The staff warns not to touch the dolphins beforehand, but even when someone tried to touch them, they didn’t seem to pay much attention.

It’s possible that the group I participated in had a lot of people, and that’s why there were such guests.

At the very least, I felt that it was an unfair tour where some people could see many dolphins while others could not, even though we all paid the same amount.

I don’t think the number of people who can board the boat is the same as the number of people who can enjoy the tour.

It’s dangerous to be kicked by fins, and I think it would have been better to sign up for an experience where you can swim with dolphins at an aquarium instead of insisting on wild dolphins.

イルカは数回、見えました。
贅沢かもしれませんが、それでもツアーとしては
この評価です。

まず、船に乗る際は早めに行きましょう。
スタッフに奥から詰めるように言われますが
分かっている人は手前に座ります。

手前に座っている人から海に飛び込むため
イルカの場所を把握しているスタッフさんの
近くの場所を確保しやすいからです。

また、自分の下に荷物のかごがないと不便なので
下にかごがある場所に座りましょう。

スタッフさんの近くまで泳ぐのは必至で泳ぎます。
他のお客さんに蹴られますし、手で押しのけられますが負けずに進みましょう。

イルカを見た後スタッフの方が
「一度もイルカを見ていない人は前に」といいますが
その時点でイルカが見えない距離にいる人は
前に行けません。

イルカを見た人が前を譲らないからです。

イルカには触らないようにとスタッフの方が事前に注意していますが
触ろうとした人がいても、特に注意をしていませんでした。

私が参加した回が人数が多く、たまたまそういうお客さんだった
可能性もありますが、

すくなくとも、同じお金を払い同じ回に参加したとしても
たくさん見れる人と見れない人がいる不公平なツアーだと感じました。

船に乗れる人数とツアーを楽しめる人数は同じではないと思います。

フィンのついた足で蹴られるので危ないですし
別に野生のイルカにこだわらなくても
水族館のイルカと泳げるものに申し込んだ方がよかったと思っています。

We had the most wonderful morning! The boat was clean and the staff was excellent. We even saw dolphins! We will definitely be taking this tour again!

We had a great cruise out on the bay with a fantastic sunset. We had our own drinks, which was great. The crew were perfect and helpful with anything you need. Recommend highly

I had never ridden a horse before, but the horse was well-trained, so I felt safe riding it. It was fun to explore various filming locations. (It was a bit disappointing that the Jurassic Park sign was a little far away.) I must have used muscles I don't usually use, as it was tough to go down the stairs when I got back, but it was a fun experience!

乗馬はしたことなかったけど、しっかり調教されていて安心して乗れました。
ロケ地も色々見ながら回れて楽しかったです。
（ジュラシックパークの看板は少し遠かったので残念でした）
普段使わない筋肉を使ったのか、戻ってきたときには階段を降りるのも辛かったですが、楽しい体験でした！

My wife and I booked last minute to take this tour. The hosts were great and it was a nice way to begin an evening out. Would recommend!

It was great.
The jungle tour was especially good.
It had a cool feeling.
I want you to experience it.
If you go after watching the movie,
the enjoyment doubles.

良かったなー。
ジャングルツアーが
特に良い。
ひんやりとした感じ。
体験してほしい。
映画を見てから行くと
良さが倍増。

Great crew With outstanding service! What an experience!
