All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The guides were great - took very good care of us, kept us at a great pace, very knowledgeable of the land and horses. The scenery was fantastic - walked along the shoreline of the beach. The horses were well-behaved - easy to direct, very sweet! Two adults, three middle school children who had never ridden before - very family-friendly...we had a great time!

When we participated, the weather was not great, and we couldn't see the sunset, which was a bit disappointing. If the weather had been good, I think it would have been really beautiful. The atmosphere was enjoyable thanks to the lively attitude of the foreign guests who boarded with us.

The reception only handles inquiries in English, so those who cannot speak any English might find it a bit challenging. Also, the boat can be shaky and may be unsuitable for those who are prone to seasickness.

私たちが参加したときは、天気がイマイチでサンセットが見れず、ちょと残念でした。
天気がよければ、すごく綺麗だと思います。
一緒に乗り込んだ外国の方のノリがすごく、雰囲気は楽しめました。

受付は英語でしか対応がないので、全く英語が出来ない方は少ししんどいかもしれません。
あと、船は欠航揺れるので、船酔いする人はオススメしません。

I arrived about 10 minutes late for the meeting, but I was successfully picked up.

The crew had a fun atmosphere and guided us in broken Japanese.

For the photo service, they mentioned on the day of the cruise that photos would be $30. When I requested it, I received the photos for $30 on an SD card after getting off the boat at the dock. They took about 100 pictures with the scenery.

I think cash is only used for tipping. There were no particular issues if you didn't pay. It seemed that credit cards could be used for the photos. I paid in cash.

I signed up for the 150m option, and it was very beautiful and not scary at all. At the end of the parasailing, I was dropped into the sea and got a little wet up to my stomach. I think a towel is necessary.

待ち合わせには10分ぐらい遅れてきましたが、無事ピックアップされました。

クルーは楽しい雰囲気でカタコトの日本語で案内してくれました。

写真サービスは、当日船の上、写真とる？30ドルと案内あり。お願いすると、船を降りたあとに、船着き場で、30ドル、SDカードでもらえました。風景あわせて100枚ぐらい撮ってくれました。

現金はチップを払う場合ぐらいしか使わないと思います。払わなくても特にお咎めなし。写真はクレジットカードが使えるようでした。私は現金で払いました。

150mで申し込みましたが、とてもきれいで、怖くはなかったです。
パラセーリングの最後、海にぽちゃんと落とされ、お腹のあたりぐらいまで少し濡れます。タオルは必要だと思います。

I reserved the front row guaranteed seats. We arrived around 16:40, but there were already about 15 people in line. We didn't know where the entrance was and ended up walking all the way around the Hilton, so I recommend getting there as early as possible! The show is definitely worth it. The muscular men are mesmerizing. I especially recommend taking videos of the fire show and the finale so you can look back at them later. It's better not to have high expectations for the buffet. We didn't have much of an appetite due to jet lag, so we just had a light meal and then relaxed at the bar afterward. There are other luaus, but this one is calm and I recommend it for travelers who don't have much time!

前方確約席を予約。
16:40頃に到着しましたが、既に15名ほどの方が並んでいました。
私たちは入口が分からず、ヒルトンをぐるっと一周してしまったので、なるべく早めに行く事をお勧めします！！
ショーは見応え十分。
ムキムキの男性陣にうっとりします。
特にファイヤーショーと、フィナーレは動画にとると、後で見返せるのでお勧めです。
ブッフェは期待しないほうが良いですね。
私達は時差ボケの為あまり食欲が無かったので軽く食べて、終わった後にのんびりバーに行きました。
他にもフラショーはありますが、ここは落ち着いて観れるし、時間がない旅行者の方にもお勧めです！

Since it was a trip to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, we booked the Diamond Seat. The front row center seat was impressive. I'm glad we chose the Diamond option. The meal was a buffet, and while it wasn't exceptionally delicious, it was decent. There was also a separate dessert buffet with pineapple cake and fruits. Each person received three drink tickets, but we couldn't use them all. The performers engaged with the audience, calling out to people and dancing on stage, which made it lively and interactive. After leaving the venue, we were able to take photos with the performers (no tips required).

Negative points: The meeting location had changed. It would have been helpful to have directional signs along the way to reach the location. I felt anxious while searching around.

両親の結婚50周年祝いの旅行だったため、ダイヤモンドシートで予約。最前列中央席で迫力があった。ダイヤモンドにしてよかった。食事は、バイキングで特別美味しいという程ではないが、まあまあでした。デザートも別にバイキングあり、パイナップルケーキやフルーツ。ドリンクチケット1人3枚づつあったが、使い切れなかった。パフォーマーの方が、客席の人に声をかけ、ステージで踊ったりと参加型で盛り上がった。会場を出たところで、パフォーマーの方達と写真を撮ることができた(チップ不要)
マイナスポイント:集合場所が変更となっていた。また、場所までたどり着くための途中に案内表示などがあったらよかった。不安なまま探し回ってあせった。

Crew was knowledgeable and helpful! Made the experience fun and definitely something we’ll do again!! My two oldest sons and I parasailed together which made it EVEN better! We’ve talked about so many times since we got back home!

I have been watching it every year since I saw it three years ago (^o^)
It's wonderful every time.
I especially love Michael Jackson's songs and dances ♪
Each time he was different, but the quality is high (^o^)

三年前に観てから毎年観ています(^o^)
毎回、素晴らしいです
特にマイケルジャクソンの歌とダンスが大好きです♪
毎回違うマイケルでしたがクオリティが高いです(^o^)

I was worried whether the activity would take place due to the heavy rain that started the day before and the cloudy morning, but since I didn't receive any cancellation notice in the morning, I waited as planned. The pickup arrived 15 minutes late, but I thought it was understandable given the heavy traffic around. The staff primarily spoke English but also spoke a little Japanese, and they were bright and friendly.

While parasailing, the boat was really rocky, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's definitely better to take medication. The parasailing experience had stunning views and was absolutely amazing! It's definitely worth doing at least once!

前の日から稀に見る大雨で朝も曇ってたから催行されるか心配でしたが
朝に中止の連絡もなかったのでそまま待ってました。迎えの時間から15分遅れで来たけど周りは渋滞多いのでしょうがないかなと思います。
スタッフは基本英語だけど日本語も少し話してくれて
明るく親切でした。
パラセーリング中より船の上にいる方が凄く揺れるので酔いに弱い人は薬を確実に飲んだ方が良いです。
パラセーリングはとても景色が良く最高でした！！
一度はやる価値ありです！

I really felt like I was in Hawaii.
It's something you should definitely see at least once when you come to Hawaii.
Making a reservation was also very easy.
Amazing!!

ハワイだな〜〜と実感しました。
ハワイに来たら一度は見るべき
予約も簡単にとれまささた。
最高！！

First time for a friend of mine visiting from arizona. Crew was very helpful, attentive and friendly. Overcast day but the cruise was very enjoyable. To many people booked not enough seats for everyone plus alot of little children. Many people got sick so we had to watch all these people vomiting...not pleasant at all. The crew and captain were very personable helpful and attentive. Drinks flowed and music was pleasant. All participants were interacting and the seas were a bit choppy but not too bad. Overcast evening so not much of a sunset experience.

I booked this as a memory for our honeymoon. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The show was also very impressive, and I enjoyed it a lot. Since we were in the front row, I was very happy to shake hands with the stars and receive gifts. After the performance, there was a photo session with the cast, which became a wonderful memory.

新婚旅行の思い出として申し込みました。
料理もおいしく、サービスも充実してました。
ショーも見応えあるものでとても楽しめました。
最前列での鑑賞だったので、スターとの握手やプレゼントを頂きとても嬉しかったです。
終演後、出演者との撮影会もあり、良い思い出になりました。

The view from the ocean was outstanding. Also, their service was amazing.

The view from the ocean was outstanding. Also, their service was amazing.

I was a 30-year-old office worker who joined alone on a whim.
- Things to be aware of:
Inside the boat, shoes are not allowed, so you'll be barefoot! However, you have to walk about 20 meters on the beach to get to the boat, so I think sandals would be a good idea. There is a possibility of getting wet.

- Recommended points:
Unlimited drinks, including local beer.
There isn't much worry about seasickness (no one looked like they were suffering).
The boat is small, so if you're alone, you might get some strange looks from Western tourists. Haha.
I think it's better to join with friends and have fun! I will also join with friends next time. Haha.

30歳OLがふらっと一人参加でした。
・注意したいこと
船の中は土足禁止ではだしです！一方で船までは浜辺を20Mくらい歩くのでサンダルがいいかと思います。濡れる可能性ありです。

・おススメポイント
地ビールなどお酒飲み放題。
さほど船酔いの心配はないです。（苦しそうな人はいませんでした。）
船は小さいので、一人だとちょっと変な子がいる…という目で欧米系の観光客にいぶかしがられます。笑
お友達とワイワイ参加するのがいいと思います！
私も次回は友達と参加します。笑

The sunset dinner cruise is different; you can enjoy a fun time mingling with people from other countries in a friendly atmosphere. There were few Japanese people, so it was a bit tense at first, but as we drank, we relaxed and were able to take pictures together. The captain? He was handsome. The sunset was truly moving!

サンセットディナークルーズ客船とは又違い和気あいあいと異国の方ともふれあい楽しい時間を過ごせます。日本人は少なく緊張感ははじめありましたが飲むにつれほぐれ仲良く写真撮ったり出来ます。船長？イケメンでした。何たってサンセットが感動ものですよ

Sailing tour from Hilton Hawaiian Village.
The weather was great, and we saw sea turtles swimming before departure.
Once we set sail, we enjoyed dolphins jumping and splashing.
The views were fantastic, and it was the best tour ever.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジからの
セーリングツアー。
天気も良くて、出航前には海亀が泳いでいたり
出航してイルカのジャンプ&スプラッシュ。
眺めも良くて最高のツアーでした。

This cruise is an excellent deal and the staff are really funny and friendly! The length of time was just enough to get your sea legs and also get your drink on before heading back to shore! Thank you!

It seems that a sandy beach forms in the middle of the sea due to the tides, but when I participated, the water was already up to my waist, so I couldn't walk on the beach.

I went snorkeling to see turtles and fish in deeper areas, but I gave up halfway. I was thinking, "Oh, I wanted to see them..." when the staff called a turtle over (was it their pet? lol), and I was able to swim with the turtle in shallower water! So, don't worry if you can't snorkel... it's not a big deal!

After that, we played on stand-up paddleboards and had a BBQ lunch on the boat! The food was really delicious!! The staff were bright and funny people! I wish I had given them a tip (;^_^A.

満ち引きによって海の真ん中に砂浜ができるみたいなのですが、私が参加したときはもう腰くらいまで海水があって砂浜を歩くことはできませんでした。

シュノーケルで深いところまで行ってカメや魚を見るのですが、私は途中までいって断念。あーあ、見たかったなー・・・と思っていたらスタッフさんがカメを呼んでくれて（スタッフさんのペット？笑）浅いところでもカメと泳ぐことができました！
ですからシュノーケルできないし・・・と残念に思わなくて大丈夫です！
そのあとはスタンドアップボードで遊んだり、船の上でBBQランチ！
料理がとてもおいしかったです！！
スタッフさんも明るくて面白い方でした！チップ渡せばよかった(;^_^A

I signed up for a 120-meter (800-foot) course.

I participated on a weekday at 11 AM, and there were a total of 10 participants, including my family, a foreign family, and a couple.

Since it was my first time experiencing parasailing, I was quite nervous, but the staff were very cheerful and made me laugh. While they were setting things up, they kept saying, "Little shark, big shark, cool shark, hungry shark!" which made me laugh.

The ascent to 120 meters was over in no time. We flew with three adults! The view was something you can't see normally, and the wind felt amazing! It was the best! I want to do it again!

高さ120メートル（800フィート）のコースを申し込みました。

平日の11時からのに参加し、参加者は私たち家族と外国人家族、カップル1組の計10人でした。

初めてパラセイリングを体験するのでかなりドキドキしていましたが、スタッフさんがかなり明るい人で笑わせてくれました。
セッティングしてもらっている間も「チイサイ　サメ～、オオキイ　サメ～、カッコイイ　サメ～、ハングリー　サメ～　　いる！！」といって笑わせてくれました。

120メートルまではあっという間でした。
大人3人で飛びました！
景色も普段では見られないし、風がとても気持ちいい！
最高です！またやりたい！

The moment I got on the bus early in the morning while still feeling sleepy, Michael (the photographer) was so high-energy that it shook off my drowsiness. Listening to our guide Natsumi's explanations made the travel time fly by.

The crew on the boat was also lively and cheerful, and at first, I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up, but by the time we were heading back, I was completely hooked. The staff was dedicated to finding dolphins, and we had two dolphin dives where I got to swim with many dolphins right beneath me.

This tour was incredibly fun. Every time our eyes met, the staff would engage with us. Especially Michael, who, despite being a photographer, really energized everyone. I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was a refreshing and immensely satisfying experience. I definitely want to participate again.

朝早くまだ眠い中バスに乗った瞬間、マイコー（フォトグラファー)のハイテンションに眠気もさめガイドのナツミさんの説明を聞きながらあっという間の移動時間でした。
船のクルーたちも皆元気で明るくテンション高く、最初はついていけないかな？とちょっと不安もありましたが、帰るころにはすっかりはまってました。
イルカ探しにスタッフが一生懸命で、イルカダイブも２回あり自分の真下にたくさんのイルカを見ながら泳げました。
このツアーは最高に楽しませてくれます。目が合うたびにスタッフが声をかけてくれます。
特にマイコーはフォトグラファーなのにとにかく皆を元気にしてくれます。
ハワイは何度も行ってますが、久しぶりに楽しく大大大満足でした。
是非又参加したいです。

It was truly the best tour! During the journey to and from the destination, our Japanese driver and guide shared various information about Hawaii. The stories were easy to understand and interesting, and his calm tone made it very easy to listen to. After arriving in Haleiwa Town, he kindly provided detailed information about recommended shops and restaurants while we slowly drove through the area, which I really appreciated. I have visited Hawaii many times, but I learned a lot of things I didn't know before, and I had a truly fulfilling day. I was very satisfied with my choice of this tour and returned home happy. I highly recommend it. Thank you to our tour guide!

本当に最高のツアーでした！行き帰りの道中は日本人の運転手兼ガイドの方がハワイに関する様々な情報を教えてくださいます。お話はわかりやすく且つ面白く、声も落ち着いたトーンで話されるのでとても聞きやすかったです。ハレイワタウンに到着後、車をゆっくりと進めながらオススメのお店やレストランの情報を丁寧に教えていただいたのもとてもありがたかったです。ハワイには何度も訪れていますが、知らなかったことをたくさん知れましたし、本当に充実した１日を過ごすことができ、このツアーを選んで良かったと大満足で帰って来ました。本当におすすめです。ツアーガイドさんありがとうございました！

My family had a great time. Thanks Riley and your team for an outstanding customer service, very well organized and awesome hospitality.

Riding horses in Hawaii is just the best, isn't it?

We rode along the beach near Turtle Bay.

Along the way, the staff took some photos for us.

We got some "amazing pictures."

The staff told me, "You're doing great!"

The horses here are well-trained, so it's fantastic.

They are calm and very easy to handle.

I want to go horse riding in the Hawaiian sea again.

From the first day I arrived, I went to the catamaran.
The "blue sky" of Waikiki and the elegant moments on the catamaran.
"It's the best."
For some reason, I was the only Japanese person there.

Even so, I made friends with a diverse group of participants (not just Americans).

"It's the best."

Everyone, please join in!

We participated as a family of three because we wanted to see the sandbar. Since two of us can't swim, we were looking for a tour that would be easy for non-swimmers to join, and we found this one.

The Angel Sea was very beautiful! Perhaps due to the timing, the sandbar wasn't visible, but the water's clarity was incredible! We learned how to use the snorkeling gear and had a fun experience in a safe area. We also got to see sea turtles from the boat and throw bread to the fish, which was a unique experience. The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious!

サンドバーが見たくて家族3人で参加しました。3人のうち2人が泳げないので、そういう人も気軽に参加できるツアーを探してたところこちらのツアーを見つけ、今回参加してみました。
天使の海はとても綺麗でした！時間帯のせいか中洲は現れてなかったのですが、海の透明度が半端なかったです！そこでシュノーケリングの使い方を習い、安全な場所で楽しく体験出来ました。また、船から海ガメを見ることができたり、魚にパンを投げたり今までにない体験が出来ました。船の中で食べたハンバーガーは美味しかった！

I was a bit anxious about the English-only guide, but it was longer and more enjoyable than the zip lines in Japan. It was a bit pricey with the transportation included, but it was a great experience.

英語ガイドのみで不安もありましたが、日本のジップラインより長くて楽しめました。送迎付きで少しお高いですが、いい経験が出来ました。

Loved the volleyball game- perfect fun for my teenage boys! We saw lots of turtles and a Ray! Enjoyed the excursion!!! Thanks to you- a happy crew

I used this service when I visited Hawaii for my honeymoon.
The online reservation and check-in on the day were smooth and reassuring.
On the boat, light snacks and drinks were served,
and some participants danced to the background music while others enjoyed the scenery in their own way.
The sunset was beautiful, and the view of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the sea was stunning,
allowing me to take many photos.

I had seen the Friday fireworks from Waikiki Beach several times, but when I found "Sailing," I thought, this is it!! There were about 50 people on board, and only four of us were Japanese, but it was reassuring to have Japanese language support. I was impressed by the hospitality of Captain Matthew and the staff, including Masa. There were plenty of drinks and a buffet, which made me very satisfied. The pleasant sea breeze and the fireworks in the night sky of Waikiki created wonderful memories. I highly recommend it to everyone!

ワイキキビーチからの金曜日花火は、何度か観ていたのですが「セーリング」を見つけてこれだ！！と。
満席（約５０名）の中、日本人は４人でしたが日本語でも安心。マシュー船長はじめ、マサさん他スタッフのホスピタリティに感激。
飲み物、ビュッフェもたっぷりあって満足。心地よい潮風とワイキキの夜空の花火は、良い思い出になりました。みなさんも是非！

This tour was wonderful. I’d been to Pearl Harbor years ago with family. The tour added an xtra touch - our tour guide, Marlon, was an added bonus. He spoke with reverence and compassion and gave us a lot of local information and history. Definitely recommend!

Although I couldn't speak Japanese, the reception staff taught me how to check in using a tablet, making the check-in process very easy.
