All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The sandbar was very beautiful, but it was about waist-deep and was more ordinary than I had imagined... It might have been better to consider the tide times before going. The sea turtle watching was amazing; I was able to swim very close to the sea turtles, and it was an emotional experience!

サンドバーはとても綺麗でしたが、腰くらいまで深さがあり、想像していたより普通の海でした…潮の満ち引きの時間を考えて行った方が良かったのかもしれません。ウミガメウォッチはとても近くでウミガメと泳ぐことができ、感動しました！

I participated in the morning tour. It was a bit early, but the lunch buffet was delicious and I was very satisfied! I can't swim, so I gave up on snorkeling, but just playing around on the board was enough fun. Next time, I want to join the afternoon tour... next year? The year after? I will definitely choose Captain Bruce again!

午前のツアーに参加しました。少し時間は早めだったけど、ランチブッフェも美味しくて大満足！泳げないのでシュノーケリングは諦めましたが、プカプカとボードで遊ぶだけでも、十分楽しめました。今度は午後からのツアーに参加したいなぁ…来年？再来年？また絶対にキャプテンブルースを選びます！

The weather was great, and I really enjoyed the sandbar! The staff were all cheerful and entertaining, which made it a lot of fun.

天気も良く、サンドバーを満喫出来ました！
スタッフの方も明るく面白い方ばかりだったので楽しかったです。

The show featured performances that closely resembled those of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and it was a two-in-one experience as we could also enjoy hula dancing. There was a great sense of unity between the performers and the audience, making it very exciting and enjoyable. Additionally, the meals were luxurious and served in generous portions that were more than enough to eat. Thank you for allowing changes to the standard menu. The welcome experience was also impressive, with hula dancing at the entrance, along with welcome drinks, snacks, and a variety of desserts. It was a very meaningful and fun time. I believe it's a show that you can watch multiple times without getting bored.

エルビスやマイケルジャクソンのショーがそっくりに演出されている上に、フラも見れるという一石二鳥のショー内容でしたが、出演者と観客との一体感もあり、
大変盛り上がって良かったです。また、食事も豪華な上、食べきれない程のボリュームもあり、食事内容も、スタンダードメニューからの変更も可能にしていただきありがとうございました。また、ウェルカム時のおもてなしの入り口でのフラダンスやウェルカムドリンクとスナックやデザートのサイドメニューも充実しており、大変有意義に、楽しく時間を過ごすことが出来て良かったです。何度見ても、飽きないショーだと思います。

It was very good.
I thought it might be difficult for my elderly parents, but they flew safely!
It was my first time in Hawaii, and it seems that paragliding was the best part.
I'm grateful for the safe experience for my elderly parents.

とてもよかったです。
高齢の両親には難しいかなと思いましたが、無事に飛べました！
初めてのハワイでしたが、パラセイリングが一番良かったみたいです。
高齢なんで、安全に飛ばしてもらって感謝してます。

I had experience at 2000 meters in the past, but this was my first time at 4000 meters. The view was amazing, like diving above the clouds, but I struggled to breathe due to the wind pressure, which was quite painful. Because of that, I felt a bit nauseous when I came down, possibly from lack of oxygen or the rapid change in pressure (from listening to the conversations of other participants, it seemed everyone was in the same situation). The instructors were all foreigners, but I could understand the general meaning of their explanations, so it wasn't a problem.

過去に2000メートルの経験はあったが4000は初で、景色は雲の上からのダイブでめっちゃよかったけど風圧で呼吸ができなかてかなり苦しかった
そのせいで酸欠になってるのか、気圧の急激な変化なのか降りてきたら少し気持ち悪かった（参加者の会話を聞いてるとみんな同じ状況になってました）
インストラクターは外人さんばっかりでしたがなんとなくのニュアンスで説明してる意味わかるので問題ないです

Neat clean boat, great crew and captain, great drinks and great music 100% recommend!

All the staff members were friendly, even though they didn't speak Japanese, and I was able to have a really enjoyable time.

The number of participants was too high compared to the size of the cruiser, making it difficult to find a place to sit during the cruise and at lunchtime, forcing us to stand the whole time. Additionally, the safety of snorkeling was entirely left to the individuals, with no supervision. Despite there being dangerous areas with depths over 10 meters, there were no staff monitoring the situation, nor were there any lifeguards available. It’s concerning that an accident could happen at any moment.

クルーザーの大きさに比べて参加人員が多く、クルージングの道中も昼食時も座るスペースが確保できず立ちっぱなし。またシュノーケルの安全面は全て本人任せで放置。水深が10メートル以上の危険箇所があるにもかかわらず、監視するスタッフもいなければ、ライフセーバーの用意もない。これではいつ事故が起きてもおかしくない。

Even though it was early morning, gathering at 4 AM was tough, but I was able to sleep for about an hour on the way to the airport.

I was told that there were a lot of people today, so the flight might be a bit delayed, and I was worried about what to do since I had three preschool children being watched by my parents. In the end, I was able to return to the hotel by 9:30.

Since I was participating alone, I was nervous, but I ended up making friends with others who had signed up, so I didn’t feel lonely at all.

Once we arrived at the location, we checked for any missing items on the consent form we filled out in the van, noted how we would handle the camera and video, and handed over the consent form and passport (a copy was acceptable) while waiting for our names to be called.

When my name was called, I had to store my belongings in a locker (which required four quarters) and wait for the instructor. There were many handsome instructors, but there were some hits and misses (sorry about that! Haha).

We prepared together, and once the plane returned, it was time to board!

Then, in about 15 minutes, we dove from 4,300 meters!

I usually don’t get motion sickness, so I was totally fine, but the pressure from the free fall for one minute and equalizing my ears was tough. I initially thought I would only get the photos, but after watching the video that was made, I ended up buying it too.

At first, I thought, "Maybe I didn’t need the video..." but after returning home and showing it to my coworkers, I was glad I bought it! For those who are going soon or are on the fence about it, I highly recommend getting the video!

朝と言っても4時代に集合はきつかったけれど
1時間くらい飛行場までの間寝ることができた。

今日はとっても多いからちょっとフライト遅れるかもー
っと言われ、就学前の子ども3人を親に見てもらってる身でどうしよう…と思ったけど
結局ホテルに帰ってこれたのが9時半だった。

1人参加だったのでドキドキしたが、別に申し込んでいる人と仲良くなり寂しい思いはしなかった。

現地についてバンで書いた同意書などに抜けがないか、カメラ動画どうするか記入し、同意書とパスポート（コピーでも可）を預けて名前を呼ばれるまで待機
呼ばれたらロッカーに（25セント硬貨4枚必要）預けてインストラクターを待つ
インストラクターはイケメンが多かったが当たり外れあり。（失礼！笑）

一緒に準備をし、飛行機が帰ってきたらいざ搭乗！

あとは15分くらいで4300メートルからダイブ！

私は普段酔わないので全然大丈夫だったけど
フリーフォール1分間の風圧と耳抜きが大変だった。
結局写真だけとおもっていたけど出来上がった動画の上映を見て動画も買ってしまった

すぐは「動画はいらなかったかも…」って思ってたけど帰国して職場の人に見せたりするのに動画も買ってよかった！
と思った。
今からの人、迷ってる人は動画おすすめです！






呼ばれたら担当の

Our tourguide Leo C. was outstanding--we went on Veteran's day and we couldn't go to the Temple and so he tried to make it up to us by taking us to other sites. It was a great way to see Oahu and learn about the island and indigenous Hawaiian culture

It was absolutely amazing! I recommend taking photos and videos while you're riding. The breeze felt great, and there was no swaying at all. I want to ride again!

ちょー最高でした！
乗ってる時の写真や動画も撮ることをオススメします。
乗ってる間も風も気持ちよく揺れもなくもう一回乗りたいです

I was thrilled by the colors of the sea that I've never seen before and the beautiful location. During snorkeling, I even got to see a sea turtle, and I had a blast paddleboarding.

What impressed me the most was how bright, fun, and friendly the staff were.

There are no changing rooms or showers, so it's best to go in clothes suitable for entering the water and just throw on something over your swimsuit for the return trip. I was a bit worried about that, but I didn't feel sticky or uncomfortable after getting out of the water.

It was a wonderful tour where I experienced the best of Hawaii's stunning location and the warmth of its people.

見たことない海の色と美しいロケーションにテンション上がり続けました。
シュノーケリングでは海ガメとも会え、サップでおおはしゃぎしました
何よりスタッフの方皆さんが明るく楽しく気さくに対応くださったのがとても印象的です。

更衣室やｼｬﾜｰはないので、海に入れる服装で行き、帰りも水着の上に服を羽織る感じでした。
少し心配でしたが、海から上がったベタベタ感などはなかったので特に不快感なく過ごせました☺️

ハワイの最高のロケーションと人の温かさを感じる素敵なツアーでした

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sky was amazing. Walking in the air with the wind was exhilarating, and I will definitely participate again next time.

空から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッド最高でした。
風をきっての空中の散歩、次回も絶対参加します。

At first, I signed up for skydiving on a whim, but it turned out to be a great decision.

The diver who took care of me helped ease my nerves while we were in the Cessna, and even after we jumped, they took lots of photos in various poses. Once we were under the parachute, they explained the islands of Hawaii to me. The photographer was also cheerful and energetic, raising the excitement before the jump and capturing many wonderful photos.

Although the photos and videos come at a cost, seeing the final products made me feel it was worth it. Even after returning to Japan, I find myself smiling while looking at the pictures.

The only challenging part of the skydiving experience was dealing with the overseas insurance. I couldn't apply for insurance online, so I had to go directly to an insurance agent.

But it was definitely worth going through all that!

初めは勢いで申し込んだスカイダイビングでしたがやってみて大正解でした。

私を担当してくださったダイバーさんは、セスナ機の中で緊張していたら緊張ほぐしてくださいましたし、飛んでからも色んなポージングで写真を撮り、パラシュートになってからはハワイの島を説明下さいました。
カメラマンさんも明るく、ノリよく、飛ぶ前からテンション上げてくれ沢山素敵な写真を撮ってくれて下さいました。

写真や動画は値段はしますが、出来たものを見るとやって良かったと思いました。
日本に帰ってからも写真を見てニヤニヤしています☺️

スカイダイビングで大変だったのは海外保険の加入に手間取ったことです。
ネットの保険は申し込めなかったので別で直接保険屋さんへ対応頂きました。

でも、そこまでする価値ありました

The two staff members on the boat were kind. When I offered them some senbei, they returned the favor with snacks. They also kept pouring drinks for us one after another. The sunset was beautiful, and it was so much fun that I ended up drinking too much!

船のスタッフ二人も親切です。せんべいを差し上げたら、スナックをお返しにくれました。お酒も、次々とついでくれます。サンセットも、良く、楽しくて、飲み過ぎました笑。

My father really wanted to participate, so I was looking for an event that was accessible on foot from our accommodation, and I was able to find just the right one.

At first, I hesitated because the dinner package was a bit pricey, but I thought it would be a great memory for my father, so I booked a Golden Seat, even though I didn't go for the Diamond option.

Since seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, I recommend lining up early. We were actually guided to the front row, where we could feel the heat of the flames and enjoy the show up close. It might have been a bit too close for taking commemorative photos, though...

I think my father was very satisfied and it became a wonderful memory for him.

父親が是非参加したいということで、宿泊地から徒歩でアクセス可能なイベントを探していたら、ちょうど見つけることが出来ました。

最初はディナー付きでもいい値段するなぁと躊躇してましたが、父親のいい思い出になるならということで、ダイヤモンドまではいきませんでしたがゴールデンシートで予約しました。

先着順で席に案内されるので、早めに並ぶ事をお勧めします。
実際は炎の熱さが伝わる最前列に案内され、迫力満点でかぶり付きでショーを見ることが出来ました。
記念の写真を撮るには少し近すぎたかもしれませんが…

父親も大満足でいい思い出になったと思います。

I ran for a full two hours in the great outdoors, and it felt amazing! It reminded me of various movie scenes! I want to go again!

2時間たっぷり大自然の中走って
とてもきもちよかったです！
いろんな映画のシーンを思い出しました！
また行きたいです！

The staff friendly and funny. The Safety of the guests was their key focus but also ensuring all onboard enjoyed the experience. My friends and I had a great time and it was a fitting last night in Hawaii.

Skydiving, which I had wanted to try at least once in my life, was very refreshing. The waiting time on the way back was really long.

人生で1回はしてみたかったスカイダイビングとても新鮮でした。
帰りの待ち時間が、すごく待たされた。

I was able to go to the Rock-A-Hula Luau green room package. I got to go explore backstage and get a tiny glimpse of how all the action happens. I also got to take a picture with Michael Jackson before the show. The staff and crew members were very kind and made sure that everything was to my liking. I described this show as a Luau like no other because it was a Luau with a twist. All the music were the classics from Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson with the local culture included into the dance routine and into the stage outfits. The show also featured a local girl with a beautiful voice. For those who would like to watch a Luau in cushioned chairs and indoors I would definitely recommend this Luau to you!

I've always wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, and I thought, why not do it in Hawaii? So I signed up for it. I was picked up at 5:30 AM and we jumped around 7:30 AM. We were back in Honolulu by 9:30 AM. It seems that the previous day's group couldn't jump until noon, so it depends on the weather and the number of participants.

There's no time to mentally prepare before you jump. (laughs) The foreign staff who jumped with me were funny, kind, and made the experience enjoyable! The views are absolutely stunning.

Photos do cost extra, but they send about 150 interesting and beautiful pictures, so it's worth getting them taken. Thank you for the amazing experience. I'm completely hooked. I will definitely participate again!!!

人生で一度はスカイダイビングをしたいと思い、どうせするならハワイで！と参加しました。
朝5時半にピックアップしてもらい、7時半ごろに飛びました。9時半にホノルルに戻ってこれました。前日の人は、12時まで飛べなかったようで、天気や参加人数に左右されるようです。

心の準備をする暇なく飛び降ります。笑
一緒に飛んでくれる外国スタッフの方が面白くて優しくて楽しく飛ぶことが出来ました！！
景色は最高です。
写真はお金がかかりますが、面白い写真や綺麗な景色の写真が150枚くらい送られてくるので、撮ってもらう価値あります。
最高の体験をありがとうございました。
すっかり虜です。また参加します。！！！

It was a best choice to select the above ticket. My hubby was called to come to the main stage during the program. Unforgettable memories !!!

The pickup was about 20 minutes late, which made me anxious, but they apologized properly for the delay, which I appreciated.
Although they didn't speak Japanese, there was a Japanese instruction manual, so it wasn't a problem.
The time spent was longer than I expected, and I was satisfied.
The weather was nice, and I could see Diamond Head beautifully.

ピックアップの時間が20分くらい遅れて、不安になりましたが、遅れたこともきちんと謝ってくれて、好感が持てました。
日本語は通じませんが、日本語の説明書があり問題ありませんでした。
上がってる時間は、思ったより長く感じられ、満足です。
お天気も良く、ダイヤモンドヘッドが綺麗に見えました。

I experienced a group lesson. We started practicing on small waves, and once everyone was able to ride them, we challenged ourselves with the bigger waves further out. The staff were also very accommodating, making it a great memory.

グループレッスンで体験しました。
最初は小さな波で練習して、みんなが乗れる様になったら沖の大きな波にチャレンジ出来ました。
スタッフの方も柔軟な対応で良い思い出になりました。

I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly in the seats in front of the stage. I appreciated the smooth change to non-alcoholic options for one person who couldn't drink. After the live show, we were also guided to the nearby fireworks that take place every Friday, which added to our enjoyment.

ステージの前の席で十分楽しむことができました。
お酒が飲めない1名に対してノンアルコーへの変更もスムーズで有難かったです。ライブの後、毎週金曜日に行われている近くの花火への案内もしていただき更に楽しむことができました。

I splurged a little and made a reservation for a VIP seat by the stage. First, we took photos with the star (playing the role of Elvis Presley), then enjoyed some snacks while sipping Mai Tais at the VIP welcome reception. We entered our seats next to the stage through the VIP entrance, and started our meal from the menu in the attached photo. The show began around the time we finished eating.

We enjoyed performances by Johnny Fortuno as Elvis Presley, Corey Melton as Michael Jackson, and Siena Sousa (a singer-songwriter based in Honolulu), along with hula dancing by Rock-a-Hula dancers. The highlight was the fire knife dance, and we were thoroughly entertained in the best seats, leaving us very satisfied. Initially, I thought it was a bit pricey, but after receiving a 10% discount, I was very pleased with the experience and the content.

少し奮発して、ステージサイドVIP席で予約をしました。
最初にスター（プレスリ役）の人との写真撮影、その後VIPウェルカムレセプションでマイタイを飲みながらおつまみをいただき、VIP専用口からステージ横の席へ、添付写真のメニューの食事開始、食事が終わったころにショーが始まりました。
エルビス・プレスリー by ジョニー・フォーテューノ、マイケル・ジャクソン by コーリー・メルトン、シエナ・スーザ (ホノルルを拠点にするシンガー・ソングライター)による歌とロック・ア・フラダンサーによるフラダンス、圧巻は
ファイアーナイフダンスと盛りだくさんで飽きることなく一番良い席で大満足の鑑賞をすることができました。
最初は少し高い思っていましたが、10%割引きしてもらって、内容もよく大満足でした。

I have had many snorkeling experiences, mostly on boat snorkeling trips, which gave me a sense of security knowing I could return quickly if anything happened. However, this time I had to swim a bit offshore from the coast by myself for an hour, and I became very anxious and thought about quitting. But the guide held my hand, and I managed to swim for a full hour in the beautiful sea. I had a great time and was very satisfied. Thank you!

シュノーケルの経験は何回もありますが、ボートシュノーケルのことが多く、何かあったらすぐに戻れるという安心感がありましたが、今回は海岸から少し沖の方まで自力で泳いで、1時間と言われ･･･とても不安になってしまい、辞めようかと思ったのですが、ガイドの方が一緒に手を繋いでくれて、綺麗な海をしっかり1時間泳ぎ切りました。
とても楽しめて、満足な時間でした。
ありがとうございました。

At first, I was anxious, but in the end, I had a lot of fun and was smiling. It does take a toll on your stamina though (^_^;). Oh, to my sushi-loving friend Cooguy, the kanpyo is not made from daikon but from "yugao fruit." I mistook it for dried daikon. I'm sorry! When you come to Japan, please eat lots of your favorite sushi (*^_^*).

初めは不安でしたが、最後は楽しくてニコニコでした。体力は奪われますけど(^_^;　あ、お寿司大好きなCooguyへ。かんぴょうは、大根ではなく「夕顔の実」でした。切り干し大根と勘違いしてました。ごめんなさい！日本に来たら、大好きなお寿司たくさん食べてくださいね(*^_^*)

This was my second time on a catamaran, and it was still amazing. The best part is that there are not many Japanese people, so I could fully enjoy the sunset cruise in Hawaii. The crew was also quick and responsive, which made for a pleasant experience.

今回2度目のカタマランでしたが、やはり最高でした。何といっても日本人が少ないことが良いです、ハワイ、サンセットクルーズを満喫出来ます。クルーの方も機敏で対応が良く気持ち良かったです。
