All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I felt better than I imagined, and I want to ride again. Thank you very much. I was scared at first, but it was okay.

想像以上に気分が良くなりました、また乗りたいです。ありがとうございました。最初は怖かったですが大丈夫でした

I think you can swim from the morning in the summer, but the mornings in March are still cold and tough. However, once the sun comes out, it's not that cold, so it might be better to swim in the afternoon during winter. Even in the shallow areas, you can see a lot of fish and swim close enough to them. I also got to see a seal, which was fun. It was a shame that one of the snorkels was broken.

夏場は朝から泳げると思うけど3月の朝はまだ寒くて辛かった。でも日が出てからはさほど寒くないので冬場は午後がいいかも。浅瀬でも沢山の魚をみれて手が届きそうな距離で一緒に泳げます。アザラシにも会えて楽しかったです。シュノーケルが一つ壊れてて残念でした。

Meeting at the hotel, you can board directly from the beach behind the hotel, and you'll be back in the heart of Waikiki before noon, making it very time-efficient. The snorkeling time is about an hour in the area with sea turtles, and afterwards, we went sailing near Diamond Head. We also saw dolphins. I think this tour is just right for those who feel that spending a whole day in the ocean is a bit much.

ホテル集合～そのままホテル裏のビーチから乗船、お昼前にはワイキキ中心部に戻れるのでとても時間の効率がよいです。シュノーケルの時間はウミガメのいるエリアで賞味1時間ちょっと、その後はダイアモンドヘッドの前あたりまでセーリング。イルカも見れました。丸1日使ってガッツリ海に入るのはちょっと・・・という感じの方には丁度良いツアーだと思います。

I boarded the morning cruise. It was amazing to feel the wind while cruising on the ship. The drinks were unlimited, and the crew members were cheerful. The view of Diamond Head and the coastline of Honolulu from offshore was exceptional. I was very lucky to see a pair of turtles on the way back. I thought I would love to go on this cruise again when I visit Hawaii.

午前便に乗船しました。船の上で風を感じながらのクルーズは最高でした。ドリンク飲み放題で乗員さんも陽気です。沖合から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルの海岸沿いは格別な眺めでした。帰り際に亀のつがいも見ることが出来たのでとてもラッキーでした。ハワイに行ったときはまた乗りたいと思いました。

We participated as a family of five adults. Riding the wind and the waves, we encountered sea turtles, making it an unforgettable experience in Hawaii.

成人の家族五人で参加。風に乗り波に乗り、ウミガメにも出会え、ハワイでの忘れられない体験となりました。

So fun! Found it through a Groupon, and we totally got our money's worth. Take this cruise!

I thought it would be good to enjoy this show with the premise of experiencing it before enjoying other traditional hula shows. Viewing it as a new genre made it even more enjoyable.

従来のフラのショーは、他で楽しむ前提で、このショーを楽しむと良いかと思いました。
1つの新しいジャンルだと思って観ると、さらに楽しめました。

Unlike surfing, it's easy to ride the waves. Everyone paddles together to row out to the sea. It was March, but it wasn't cold and was quite comfortable. I was able to ride the waves about three times, and it felt great. The reception was very accommodating and reassuring. On rainy days, they notify you via LINE call on the morning of the reservation, and they were able to handle postponements on the spot.

サーフィンとは違い簡単に波乗り出来ます。パドルで全員協力して沖まで漕ぎます。3月でしたが寒くもなく快適でした。3回程波に乗れました、気持ち良いですよ。受付はとても対応よく、安心。雨の日の予約は当日朝にLINE電話にてお知らせあり、その場で延期対応頂けました。

The path has almost no shade and goes straight up. The last set of stairs now has a detour, which is reassuring. It took about 45 minutes to climb and 30 minutes to descend for a fourth grader.

日陰は、ほぼ無く細い道をひたすら登ります。
最後の階段は迂回路が出来たので安心です
小学生4年生で登り45分程度、下り30分程度でした

I was able to spend a special day. It was my first time riding in a buggy, but since I was driving while breathing in the fresh air, I didn't get motion sickness and was able to enjoy sightseeing! The guides were truly wonderful people, and I felt deep down that I was glad to be here. I was really happy to see views that I can't see in Japan. This is definitely a tour I want to go on again when I come back to Hawaii!

特別な一日を過ごすことができました。
バギーに乗ること自体初めてでしたが、外の空気を吸いながらの運転だったので酔うこともなく楽しんで観光できました！
ガイドの方も本当に素敵な方達でここにきてよかったと心の底から思いました。
日本では見ることのできない景色を見ることができ、本当によかったです。
またハワイに来た際には絶対に行きたいツアーです！

I was really grateful that they provided transportation not only from Waikiki but also from the Ko Olina hotels. 🙏 The instructor was always taking photos, and at the end, we could purchase them for $70. 📸 There was one instructor who spoke Japanese, and they explained everything in Japanese, which made me feel very at ease. 🇯🇵 I was able to see the dolphins up close, and the thrilling water slide was a lot of fun! 🐬 I definitely want to visit again!

ワイキキだけでなく、コオリナのホテルでも送迎していただけた点がとても助かりました🙏常にインストラクターさんが写真を撮ってくださっていて、最後に70ドルで購入が可能でした📸日本語が話せるインストラクターさんが1人いらっしゃって、常に日本語で説明してくださったのでとても安心でした🇯🇵イルカもとても近くで見られて、スリル満点のウォータースライダーもとても楽しかったです🐬また訪れたいと思います！

All the actions were great. I was very satisfied to see it in authentic Hawaii. I want to go see it again. Depending on the seat, there might be announcements...

全てのアクションが良かったです。本場のハワイで見る事ができ大満足です。また見に行きたいです。座席によってはお呼び出しがあるかもしれないです……

The driver's response was very polite. It seems that it's possible to take a regular bus, but in the early morning, this kind of shuttle service is more reassuring.

運転手さんの対応はご丁寧でした。
路線バスでも行けない事は無さそうですが、早朝の場合はこうした送迎サービスの方が安心です。

10/10 recommend. Great staff. Friendly. Great music.

After 20 years? Following the storm and days of heavy rain leading up to it, the morning of the tour was clear, but upon arriving at the site, the clouds looked suspicious. As expected, it rained occasionally during the trek. The path was muddy, and there were signs of fallen trees, but our guide was attentive to safety issues, allowing us to complete the trek safely.

The tour was a mixed group of English speakers and Japanese participants, but with two guides (who also drove), we were able to split into English and Japanese groups, so there were no language issues, and we could enjoy ourselves without worry. At Tantalus Hill, the weather was clear, and we could see from Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor.

Thank you to our guides, Shin and Jason, for a fun tour with great safety considerations.

20年ぶり？のストーム後、前日まで連日の大雨で、当日も朝は晴れていましたが、現地に到着すると怪しい雲行き。
案の定、トレッキング中も時々雨が降りました。
道はぬかるんでいて、倒木の跡もありましたが、ガイドさんが危険事項を都度注意してくれて安全にトレッキングを終えることができました。
ツアー英語圏の方と日本人の混載ツアーでしたが、2名のガイドさん(兼運転手さん)で英語班と日本語班で行動したので言語の問題はなく、安心して楽しく過ごすことができました。
タンタラスの丘では晴天で、ダイヤモンドヘッド〜パールハーバーまで見渡すことができました。
ガイドの進さん、ジェイソンさん、安全配慮の楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

The buffet had a variety of dishes from different countries, and I was happy to be able to choose my favorites. The performers seemed to be having a great time showcasing their talents, which made it enjoyable for us as well. I'm glad I decided to splurge a little and participate. Thank you very much.

ビュッフェ料理は色んな国の料理があって、自分の好きなものを選べて良かったです。
パフォーマンスは演者の方々がとても楽しそうに披露してくれて、こちらまで楽しくなりました。
少し奮発して参加を決めて正解でした。
ありがとうございました。

On the day, it was cloudy and it rained on the way back. At the sandbar, the captain brought boards and inflatable canoes, allowing us to play as much as we wanted, creating a very private atmosphere. There were also plenty of snacks and drinks prepared for us. When we got tired of playing, the captain took us on a cruise to see rays and sea turtles, providing excellent service. In the rain, the other groups around us looked cold, wrapped in beach towels, but the captain lent us sweatshirts, so we could comfortably play in the water without worry. On the way back, they also lent us umbrellas and raincoats. Since it was such a great experience, I hope for sunny weather next time and will definitely try again.

当日は曇りで帰りに雨が降りました。サンドバーでは、キャプテンがボードや浮き輪カヌーなどを持ってきてくれて、遊び放題でプライベート感満載でした。スナックやドリンクもたくさん準備してくれています。遊び飽きたらクルージングでエイやウミガメを見に連れて行ってくれたりと、サービス満点でした。雨の中、周りの集団の方達はバスタオルにくるまり寒そうでしたが、キャプテンがスエットを貸してくれるので終始水の中でも平気で思う存分遊べました。帰りは傘とレインコートも貸してくれました。せっかくなので、次回晴れることを祈ってまたチャレンジします。

Due to the rain, we couldn't see the fireworks and had a buffet inside the hotel instead. We had a family photo taken, which we could purchase, but it wasn't free. There was a welcome drink available. Unfortunately, we didn't receive any leis. It was disappointing since the kids were looking forward to it. We had drink tickets for three drinks, but we only had one. The cultural experience felt a bit lacking as well. The show was good, though. I thought we wouldn't be able to see the fire dance indoors, but we were able to, which was nice. The buffet had a limited selection, but it was delicious. The seasoning was suitable for Japanese tastes, and the kids went back for seconds. Overall, it was below expectations due to the rain, but I hope to participate again next time, praying for sunny weather.

雨のため花火は見れず、ホテル内でのビュッフェでした。家族写真を撮ってもらい、購入できます。無料ではありません。ウェルカムドリンクあり。レイはもらえませんでした。子供が楽しみにしていたので残念でした。ドリンクチケットが3杯分ありましたが、一杯しか飲みませんでした。文化体験も、今一な感じでした。ショーは良かったです。ファイヤーダンスも室内だから見れないと思っていましたが、見れたので良かったです。ビュッフェは品数少なかったですが、美味しかったです。日本人にも合う味付けで、子供達もおかわりに行きました。トータルして雨だったので期待以下でしたが、次回も晴れるのを祈って参加したいと思います。

I rode a submarine for the first time. I had a great time enjoying the underwater world where fish and sea turtles live. It became a memorable time in Hawaii! I highly recommend it.

初めて潜水艦に乗りました。お魚やウミガメが暮らしている海底の世界を満喫できてとっても楽しかったです。ハワイで思い出に残る時間となりました！とってもおすすめです。

It was easy to get to the boat departing from Waikiki Beach, which is very close to the hotel. The boat was larger than I expected, and even though it was raining that day, there was a covered area inside the boat, which was a relief. Due to the rain, we couldn't see any sea turtles, but we did see plenty of beautiful fish. Although it was raining that day, the waves weren't particularly strong, and I usually don't get motion sickness, but I felt a bit seasick, so I think it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.

ホテルからすぐ近くのワイキキビーチから出航するので移動が楽でした。
船は予想より大きくて当日は雨でしたが屋根付き船内もあり、助かりました。
雨のせいか、ウミガメは見ることができませんでしたが綺麗な魚はたくさん見れました。
当日は雨は降っていたものの特段、波の強い日ではなく普段は乗り物酔いもしない私ですが、少し船酔いしましたので酔い止めは飲んでおいたほうが良いかと思います。

I went horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain, but they provided raincoats, which was a big help. The ground was muddy due to the rain, but the horses walked carefully, so there was no danger, and I was able to enjoy it. The two hours flew by. I participated in my 60s, and it was great. Thank you very much.

クアロアランチで乗馬をしました。あいにくの大雨でしたが、レインコート貸し出しがあり助かりました。雨で泥濘んでいましたが慎重に馬が歩いたので、危険はなく、楽しめました。2時間があっという間に終わりました。60代での参加でしたが、良かったです。ありがとうございました。

We participated in a Segway tour as a family. We were able to travel and sightsee distances that would be impossible to walk. It was fun to visit places that we couldn't reach by bus. The instructor was also kind and took a lot of photos for us. We really had a great time. Thank you very much!

セグウェイを家族で参加しました。
歩くのには無理な距離を移動して観光できました。バスでは行けない所も訪れて楽しかったです。インストラクターさんも親切で写真もいっぱい撮ってもらえました。本当に楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

It was pouring rain and cold, and the seats were cramped. The foreigner next to me smelled strongly of perfume, which was disappointing. However, the show was incredibly fun! One more disappointment was that even though I reserved VIP seats, I ended up at the edge. I think it's better to make a reservation without a meal for this show. I believe both Elvis and Michael were at a high level.

土砂降りの雨で寒いし、席が、狭くお隣の、外人は香水の匂いで、くさ〜いしで残念でした。
ですが、ショーは最高に楽しかったです。もう一つ残念なのはVIP席を、選んで予約したのにハジの席でした。このショーは食事無しでの、予約が良いと、思います。
エルビスもマイケルも、レベルが高いと思います。

I experienced the USS Missouri, which was an active battleship until recently. There was so much I didn't know about the wartime situation, the Japanese Imperial Army, the Kamikaze attacks, and the Missouri's role after the Pacific War. It was very educational. Spending a whole day there was definitely worth it.

最近まで現役戦艦だったミズーリを体験。当時の戦況、日本帝国軍の状況、神風特攻隊の展示、太平洋戦争後のミズーリ等、知らないことがたくさんあって、とても勉強になりました。１日掛けても価値のあるミズーリ号でした。

I opted for the pickup service, but while waiting at the pickup location, the bus did not arrive, so I called the contact number. Unfortunately, the person on the phone only spoke English, which made it difficult for me to understand the situation, and I ended up feeling anxious because I couldn't get the information I needed.

However, once I was there, the staff members were very entertaining, and it turned out to be a memorable tour. I was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and canoeing multiple times for free, which made the time fly by. I'm really glad I participated.

送迎付きにしましたが、ピックアップ場所で待っていてもバスが来なかったため問い合わせ先に電話を掛けました。しかし、電話口が英語での対応だったため内容を理解できず、結局問い合わせができず不安になったのは残念な点でした。
現地では、スタッフの方々が楽しませてくださり、とても思い出に残るツアーになりました。シュノーケリングやカヌーなど無料で何度もおこなうことができたため、しっかり楽しめて時間があっという間でした。参加してよかったです。

At the site, a Japanese staff member provided explanations in Japanese at the beginning, which made me feel at ease. During the buggy experience, the explanations were given in English by local foreign staff. The buggy ride was thrilling as we raced through the great outdoors, and it felt fantastic. There was also time to buy souvenirs and enjoy meals, making for a fulfilling experience. I would definitely like to participate again.

現地では、始めに日本人スタッフが説明してくださり日本語だったので安心しました。バギー体験中は、現地の外国人スタッフだったので英語での説明でした。バギー体験は、大自然のなかを駆け抜けるのでスリル満点で気持ちよかったです。お土産を買う時間や食事も食べる時間もあり充実した時間を過ごせました。また、是非参加したいです。

It was a bit cold in February. Unfortunately, I had to give up snorkeling because it was too cold. The tour guide was a very cheerful Japanese person, which made me feel at ease participating. I was satisfied enjoying the beautiful sea from the boat.

2月で少し寒かったです。残念ながらシュノーケリングは寒すぎて断念しました。ツアーの方はとても明るい日本人の方で、安心して参加でできました。美しい海を船から楽しめ満足しています。

Although the weather was bad during the meal, I was glad that the tent was well-prepared for rain and wind. The buffet menu was abundant, and I was able to enjoy a lot of local flavors in the food.

In the VIP section, there were seats where we could see the dance lessons up close, and it was amazing to practice while interacting with the dancers!

I was able to watch the show from the front row indoors. The lively dance and singing filled my heart with warmth.

After the show, the performers lined up at the exit, allowing us to take photos together. They were very kind and took the time to pose with us!

This became my best memory from my first trip to Hawaii!

食事中は悪天候でしたが、テントでしっかり雨風対策がされていて良かったです。
ビュッフェのメニューも豊富でローカルな味わいのご飯をたくさん食べることができました。
VIP席では踊りのレッスンも間近に見られる席が準備され、ダンサーと触れ合いながら練習できて最高でした！

ショーは室内で最前列で見ることができました。
心弾むダンスと歌で気持ちが熱く満たされました。

ショーが終わった後に、出口までずらりと出演者が並んでいるので一緒に写真撮影をすることができます。
とても親切で丁寧に一緒に撮ってもらえました！

初ハワイでの一番いい思い出となりました！

The scenery was very beautiful, and I was satisfied with the experience. Even with good weather, the boat sways quite a bit. I think it would be better to have some motion sickness medication.

景色がとてもよく体験できて満足です。天候が良くても船はかなり揺れます。酔い止めがあったほうがいいのかなと思います。

I had to share the experience to my sister and her family that my kids and I had the first time we went here back in June 2025. For my nephew's bday March of 2026, I suggested to go to the Kaneohe sand bar again. The consistency of their best service is just really incredible. From the warm welcome of the staff, the island vibe voices of the singers, the lifeguards who constantly keeping an eye to the kids, the captain who made the banana boat super exciting and safe. The place, the view and the people gave us all an unforgettable experience. Looking forward for the next visit, hopefully with the rest of our extended family. Mahalo/ Salamat!
