All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

It was the best parasailing experience with a stunning view of Waikiki Beach from above! At the end, I mysteriously splashed into the sea, but that was also refreshing and fun! The guide was friendly, and I would love to experience it again if I go back!

ワイキキビーチを空から一望でき、最高のパラセーリングでした！
最後謎に海にぽちゃんと浸かりますがそれも気持ちよくて楽しかったです！
ガイドさんもフレンドリーでまた行ったら体験したいです！

After our wedding ceremony in Hawaii, we participated with ten family members. I originally joined on the recommendation of an acquaintance, but it was even more enjoyable than I expected! Our guide was Japanese and very entertaining, and we thoroughly enjoyed the scenery as well as snorkeling. We got to see sea turtles up close!

I didn't have high expectations for the BBQ on the boat, but it was actually quite delicious! There was an all-you-can-eat selection of meat, fruit, and rice, and the brownie for dessert was also tasty.

It was a great time for everyone, from their 20s to 60s. Thank you very much!

ハワイ挙式の後、両家10名で参加しました。
元々知り合いの勧めで参加したのですが、期待以上に楽しめました！
ガイドさんも日本の方で面白く、景色はもちろんシュノーケリングも存分に楽しめました。ウミガメもものすごく近くで見れました！
また、船の上でのBBQはあまり期待していなかったのですが普通に美味しかったです！お肉もフルーツもご飯も食べ放題で、デザートのブラウニーも美味しかったです。
20〜60代みんなが楽しめる時間になりました。
本当にありがとうございました！

From the land, it was once. Last year, I was too busy eating on the dinner cruise, and by the time the fireworks started, it was already too late, resulting in a disappointing outcome. This time, I chose this tour that I previously boarded at sunset. Although there were changes in the captain and crew, the friendly atmosphere remained the same, and the all-you-can-drink option made for a pleasant fireworks viewing experience. When the captain shouted "SAKE NOMIHOUDAI" in Japanese, several Japanese people applauded.

陸上からは1回。昨年はデイナークルーズで食べるのに忙しくて花火の歓声が上がった時には、既にとき遅し残念な結果となりました。今回は以前サンセットで乗船したこのツアーにしました。船長やクルーの変更はあったけど、フレンドリーな雰囲気はそのままでドリンク飲み放題も効して気持ちよく花火鑑賞ができました。船長が日本語で「SAKE　NOMIHOUDAI」と叫んだときは数人の日本人が拍手しました。

This time, we participated as a family of four with two children. I thought we might not be able to do many activities since my 3-year-and-10-month-old son is really mischievous and my 1-year-and-5-month-old daughter has just started walking, so I couldn't take my eyes off them. However, the staff were really wonderful with the kids and played with them, which encouraged other tour guests to join in as well. Thanks to that, my husband and I were able to take turns snorkeling, and we even encountered a sea turtle!

We played in the sea a bit too much, so we couldn't enjoy the BBQ as leisurely as we would have liked, but it was really delicious!

If I had to mention something, it would be that the weather was cloudy and a bit chilly. If the weather had been better, it would have been even more amazing!

My son wants to see Kaz again, who played so well with him, so if we have the chance, we would definitely like to participate again!

今回2人の子連れで、家族4人での参加でした。
3歳10ヶ月の息子が本当にやんちゃ盛りな上に1歳5ヶ月の妹が歩き始めて動くようになったので、目が離せく、アクティビティはあまり出来ないかもなぁ…と思っていましたが、スタッフの方々が子供を本当に可愛がってくれて、遊んでくれたので、その流れで他のツアー客の方々も一緒に遊んでくれました☆
お陰で主人と交代でシュノーケリングも出来ましたし、海亀とも遭遇出来ました☆
海で遊びすぎて、BBQはあまりゆっくり食べられませんでしたが、とっても美味しかったです！！

しいて言うなら、お天気が曇っていて少し寒かった事かな！
天気が良ければもっと最高でした！

息子が、1番仲良く遊んでくれたカズさんにまた会いたいそうなので、機会があったらまた是非参加したいです！！

Last time, I participated in the sandbar, and this time I challenged myself with parasailing. Since it was mentioned in the experience reports, I thought it would be pointless to get seasick, so I took motion sickness medication to be fully prepared. On the day of the activity, we were blessed with good weather, and it was refreshing. I participated with a friend (both of us are 65 years old), and it became one of our precious memories in Hawaii. However, it was unfortunate that I didn't have cash on me, and while I was processing the payment for the photos with my card, the shuttle left, making us wait for about 30 minutes. I wondered if there was no confirmation before departure.

前回はサンドバーに参加させて頂き、今回はパラセーリングに挑戦となりました。体験談にも書かれておられたので、船酔いをしては、元も子もないと思い酔い止めを飲んで万全の体制を整えました。当日は天候にも恵まれ、爽快の一言です。友人と二人(共に65歳)での参加でしたが、喜んでくれハワイでの貴重な思い出の一つとなりました。ただ、残念だったのは現金を所持しておらず、写真代をカード決済している間に送りの車が行ってしまい30分程待たされました。発車前の確認はないのかと疑問に思いました。

The captain seemed to have a great vibe and made us feel at ease. I chose the 90-meter option, but I think height didn't matter. I wasn't asked beforehand if I wanted the 90 meters, though.
However, it didn't feel scary at all; it was quite pleasant. Water Japon was very kind to us. (laughs)
At the end, when I gave a tip, they were really happy.

ノリが良さそうな船長(キャプテン)が和ませてくれます。90メートルを選びましたが、高さは関係なく上げられたと思います(;o;)事前に90メートルですね？なんて聞かれなかったので。
でも怖い感じはなく気持ち良かったです。水ジャポンは優しくしてくれました。笑
最後にチップを渡したらすごく喜んでくださいました。

I went horseback riding for the first time, and I felt no anxiety because the horses were well-trained. I chose the 2-hour course, but I wondered if 1 hour would have been enough. The reason is that my rear end and bent knees started to hurt (I'm 178 cm tall). However, I was able to relax and enjoy nature while riding the horse.

初めて乗馬しましたが、しっかりと調教されているため不安はなく乗れました。私は2時間コースを選びましたが、1時間でもよかったかな？と思いました。理由は、鞍に当たるおしりと曲げている膝が痛くなったからです。(身長178センチ)馬に乗りながらのんびりと自然を満喫できました。

The sea was very beautiful. It was a great memory to see the rare seals. Having a Japanese guide was the most reassuring part. If you're looking for snorkeling, I recommend this place!

海はとても綺麗でした。貴重なアザラシが見れたのは良い思い出です。日本人ガイドだったのが1番安心しました。シュノーケリングを探してる方はこちらがオススメです！

I arrived a little earlier than my reservation time, but I was smoothly guided to a great seat right in front of the band. The music was pleasant and the atmosphere was perfect. Unfortunately, the deluxe pupu platter we ordered was enormous, and there was no way we could finish it. We ended up leaving some behind, even though we wouldn't eat it as takeout. I'm sorry to the staff for that. It was so good that I visited again the day before my return home. This time, I ordered just one pupu dish, and it was just the right amount.

予約時間より少し早くつきましたが、スムーズにバンドの正面の良い席に案内されました。音楽も心地よく雰囲気もバッチリ。残念なのは予約のデラックスププメニュー。凄い山盛り盛り絶対に我々は食べきれない。テイクアウトしても食べないので残しました。お店の方ごめんなさい。良かったので帰国の前日に又、訪れました。今度はププを一品だけ注文して丁度いい感じでした。

The Captain and her crew were beyond friendly! The whole experience was amazing, from the cruise to the sand bar, the food, the turtle watching and the snorkeling. Absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend this experience!

It was my first show. I didn't have high expectations, but it was surprisingly fun and a great show. I would like to go again if I have the chance.

初めてのしょうでした。きたいはしていませんが思った以上にすごく楽しくて良いショーでした。また機会があれば行きたいです。

- All three attractions were amazing. The location tour, jungle exploration, and historical explanations were all interesting and easy to understand. While looking at other attractions, I definitely wanted to participate in the interactive ones.
- The movie location tour was very intriguing, as there were various filming sites besides Jurassic Park.

・三つのアトラクション全て最高でした。ロケ地巡り、ジャングル探検、歴史　的なもの全て説明も面白く、分かりやすく良かったです。他のアトラクショ　ンを見ていると、参加型で是非参加したいアトラクションでした。
・映画ロケ地巡りではジェラシックパーク以外にも色々な撮影があったという　ことで非常に興味深かったです。

- The guidance from the female staff was delightful and enjoyable.
- I was able to see sea turtles at the sandbar, which was amazing.
- Snorkeling might have been the most fun; it felt like swimming inside an aquarium, and it was incredibly enjoyable to be so close to the fish.
- The BBQ on the boat was about what I expected, but the service was attentive and good.
- It was a tour I would like to join again next time.

・女性担当者の案内が愉快で楽しかったです。
・サンドバーではウミガメも見れたし最高でした。
・シュノーケリングが一番楽しかったかも、まるで水槽の中を泳いでいるよう　で、魚が手に取れる感じで非常に楽しかったです。
・BBQは船の上なのでこんなもんかな、という感じでしたが接客が丁寧でよ　　かったです。
・次回も参加したいツアーでした。

I felt very safe with the Japanese staff at the center. The locals were also kind and communicated in English, so I was able to enjoy everything without any inconvenience, even though I only speak Japanese! The hamburger on the boat was the most delicious I had on this trip (^ ^). There was plenty of free time, and they clearly communicated important information, so I was able to relax and fully enjoy the beautiful sea! I was lucky to swim with a sea turtle. There was a shuttle to the Alohilani Hotel, and on the way back, they guided us as well.

日本人が中心でとても安心しました。現地の人も英語で優しく対応して下さったので、日本語しか分からない中、何も不自由なく楽しむことができました！
船上でのハンバーガーはこの旅行で1番美味しかったです(^ ^)
自由な時間が多く、注意事項等もしっかり伝えてもらえたので
ゆっくりくつろぎながらきれいな海を満喫できて最高でした！運良くウミガメと一緒に泳げてよかったです。
アロヒラニホテルまで送迎があり、帰りはガイドもしながら送っていただけました。

I liked that it was easy to find the location since it was near Hilton, and the travel time was minimal. I was worried that traveling by boat might make me feel sick, but it was not a problem at all. The staff spoke only English, but they were very considerate, making it easy for beginners, and they entertained us with some broken Japanese. We started at 9:00 with six participants, and there were three other groups with two participants each, but everything went smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the other activities. Some tours can take up a lot of time just for travel, so I plan to sign up for this tour again next time.

ヒルトンのところから出ているため、場所も分かりやすく、移動時間も最短で気に入りました。船の移動が気持ち悪くなるか心配でしたが、全く問題ありませんでした。スタッフは英語だけですが、初心者の方にも問題ないくらい気遣いをされていて、片言の日本語で楽しませてくれていましたよ。9：00スタートでしたが、6名で参加し、他に2名参加が3組おりましたが、スムーズに進み、他を楽しむことができました。ツアーよっては移動時間だけで時間がとられてしまうため、次回もこのツアーに申込む予定です。

- Taste of Kualoa Tour
In the vast nature, with easy-to-understand explanations from a Japanese guide, I was able to see various plants and also enjoyed some tastings. Since various movie filming locations and sets are still preserved, it was a lot of fun!

- Jungle Expedition & Kualoa Legends Tour
Riding in the back of a large jeep-like vehicle, we went through the jungle, which was quite thrilling. The gate from Jurassic World was there, and there were even claw marks left by the Indominus Rex on the wall! I was able to touch on history and had a very valuable experience.

- Movie Filming Locations & Ranch Tour
In the midst of wonderful scenery, the landscapes I saw in the movies spread out before me, and I was very moved! The fallen tree where Dr. Grant and the children hid from the approaching dinosaur in Jurassic Park is still there, and you can take commemorative photos there! I also got to see famous movie scenes and sets from Jurassic World and King Kong, making it the best experience!

・テイスト オブ クアロア ツアー
広大な自然の中を日本人ガイドさんのわかりやすい説明で、様々な植物を見ることができ、また試食も楽しめました。様々な映画のロケ地やセットもそのまま残されているので、とても楽しめます！

・ジャングル探検＆クアロア伝説ツアー
大型のジープのような車の荷台に乗り、ジャングルの中を抜けていくので、迫力があります。ジュラシックワールドに登場するあのゲート、そして、壁にはなんとインドミナス・レックスがつけた爪の傷跡もしっかり残されています！歴史にも触れられ、とても貴重な経験ができました。

・映画ロケ地＆牧場ツアー
素晴らしい景色の中、映画で見たあの風景が目の前に広がっていて、すごく感動しました！ジュラシックパークでグラント博士と子どもたちが、迫りくる恐竜から逃げるときに身を隠したあの倒木がそのままあり、そこで記念写真を撮ることができます！他にもジュラシックワールドやキングコングなど、有名な映画のあの景色やセットを見る事ができて最高の体験でした！

It was a course without Japanese guidance (although it seems there is Japanese guidance available through headphones, which I didn't use), but I understand enough English, so it wasn't a problem. Everyone else was foreign, and I was a bit fed up with the number of Japanese people in downtown Honolulu, so it was nice. There was a sense of universality when the Canadian child next to me asked, "Where's Nemo?" Seeing the submarine surface near the boat was exciting. I enjoyed seeing beautiful fish, rays, and turtles (it would have been even better if sharks had appeared), and it was my first experience diving into the ocean from a submarine, which was interesting. It was a smaller submarine with small windows, but I think it was sufficient.

日本語案内ではない時間のコースでしたが（ヘッドフォンで日本語案内はあるようだが使用せず）そこそこ英語がわかるのでまあ問題なし。
自分達以外は外国人で、ホノルルの街中が日本人だらけで少しウンザリしていたのでちょと良かったです。
隣のカナダ人の子供がニモはどこ？という言葉に世界共通感がありました。
沖で船の近くに潜水艦が浮かんでくる様子はウキウキしました。
きれいな魚やエイやカメがみられて楽しかったですし（サメでも出て来たらもっと良かったけど）、潜水艦で海に潜るという体験が初めてのことで面白かったです。
窓の小さい方の潜水艦でしたが十分だと思います。

It was amazing! We saw quite a few turtles and I got some awesome pictures of them. The crew was great and very accommodating. The ride with the sails up was totally a great experience. This excursions was the highlight of our vacation! I would recommend it to everyone!

Michael's dance show was amazing. The hula show was also authentic and powerful. Everyone is saying it was great to have the VIP seats.

マイケルのダンスショーが最高でした
フラショーも本物で、迫力ありました
ＶＩＰ席でしたがこちらにして良かったとみんな言ってます

It was the most enjoyable activity I participated in. I recommend the 150m option. The views of Honolulu's streets and Diamond Head were beautiful.

一番参加して楽しかったアクティビティです。150mがオススメ。ホノルルの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドが綺麗に見えました。

I was able to enjoy the sunset, fireworks, and all-you-can-drink at a low price! Since snacks are not provided, I brought my own nuts.

There was a Japanese couple in their 50s who were loud and rude, having already been drunk before boarding. Their daughter and son-in-law, who were traveling with them, said, "Mom, you're being loud and it's embarrassing, so let's pretend we're not related." I wish their family had intervened.

サンセットに、花火に、飲み放題が低価格で楽しめました！おつまみは提供されないので、ナッツなどを持込みました。

乗車前から酔っ払っていた50代くらいの日本人夫婦がうるさくて、マナーも悪く、同乗していたその家族の娘夫婦が、『お母さんうるさくて恥ずかしいから、他人のフリする』と言っていました。出来れば家族が注意して欲しかったです。

I was able to ride comfortably in the great outdoors. Each time, there is some kind of mission, and I sometimes couldn't let go due to fear, but the overall feeling was exceptional. You can purchase the photos taken for an additional fee, but it was disappointing that they were mostly out of focus. However, that doesn't affect my overall evaluation this time.

大自然の中を気持ちよく乗ることができました。
毎回、何かしらのミッションがあるのですが、怖さのあまり手を離せなかったりしましたが、それ以上に気持ち良さは格別です。
別料金で、撮った写真を購入できますが、全体的にピンぼけしてたのが残念でした。それは今回の評価とは関係ありません。

Last time, we enjoyed the sunset on the same boat during the "Sunset Sailing," but this time we experienced the "Full Sun Sailing." This is Hawaii! This is Waikiki! We thoroughly enjoyed it on board. It was just right for the silver couple.

前回は同じ船で「夕陽セーリング」でサンセットを楽しみましたが、今回は「太陽がいっぱいセーリング」、これぞハワイ！これぞワイキキ！を船上で満喫しました。シルバーカップルには程よかったです。

This is my second time participating. Last time, I was satisfied with snorkeling, but this time, after a delicious meal, I also tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The staff were kind and supportive, and I was able to stand up somehow.

2度目の参加です。
前回はシュノーケリングで満足でしたが、今回は美味しい食事の後、SUPにも挑戦しました。
スタッフさんが優しく支えてくれてなんとか立つことが出来ました

I was TERRIFIED to go parasailing. The team that took us out was funny, lighthearted and made me feel completely at ease. What an incredible experience and a lifetime memory as part of our round-the-world honeymoon! Thank you for everything!! Highly recommend this to anyone who has even an inkling of a desire to go! ♡

This was my second visit to Kualoa Ranch. I was worried because the pick-up from the Sheraton was about 30 minutes late, but the horseback riding experience went as scheduled. Riding while looking at the mountain range and the ocean was amazing. The instructor pointed out that my saddle was tilted and needed adjustment, but I couldn't get it right until the end, which may have put a burden on the horse.
Hawaii has both the ocean and mountains. While there are trekking options in the mountains, the horseback riding experience was so good!
However, perhaps because of the bus delay, we had to get on the return bus immediately after the horseback riding, so there was no time for a meal or souvenir shopping. Well, it was nice to get back early.

今回2回目のクアロア牧場。シェラトンでのPick Upが予定より30分位遅れて心配しましたが、乗馬体験は予定通り。山並みを眺めながら、向こうに海を眺めながらの乗馬は最高でした。鞍が傾いているから調整しろよと指導員から指摘されるが、最後までうまくいかず、馬には負担をかけたかな？
ハワイは海と山。その内山はトレッキングもあるだろうけど、乗馬体験はSo Good！
ただ、バスが遅れたせいか乗馬が終わったらすぐさま帰りのバスに乗ることとなり、食事タイムもお土産タイムもなかった。まあ、早く帰れてよかったです。

In the early morning, I was picked up at a nearby hotel. The lobby was quite crowded with people participating in tours to various destinations. The pickup was significantly delayed compared to the scheduled time. The large bus was almost full.

I had never been horseback riding before, so I was nervous as I got on. The horse was smart and cute, but I learned that I shouldn't let it eat grass. However, the horse would nibble here and there, so I had to pull firmly to teach it that it was not allowed, which was quite challenging. Additionally, the instructor would sometimes give commands that made the horse start running to catch up, which was a bit scary. Still, being able to ride in the beautiful sea and nature of Hawaii became a wonderful memory for me. Two hours might be a bit long; my tailbone hurt, and sitting the next day was really tough! (laughs)

On the way there, I had to kill time until it was my turn to participate (I think booking activities early in the morning helps reduce waiting time), but on the way back, I liked that I could return at my preferred time.

早朝に近くのホテルにてピックアップでした。
各方面にツアーに参加される方でロビーはかなり混雑していました。
予定のピックアップ時間よりかなり遅れてピックアップでした。大型バスはほぼ満席でした。

私は以前に乗馬をしたことがなくドキドキしながら乗りました。
馬は利口で可愛いのですが、草を食べさせてはいけないらしくでも馬は所々で食べるので、かなり強い力でダメだと引っ張って教えてあげなければいけないのがとても大変でした。
またインストラクターの方が途中指示を与えると遅れを取り戻すときにたまに走り出すのでそれが少し怖かったです。
それでもハワイの綺麗な海と自然の中で乗馬できたのはとても楽しい思い出になりました。
２時間は少々長いかもしれません、お尻の骨が痛くなり翌日座るのが本当に大変でした。（笑）

行きは自分が参加するまでの時間まで時間を潰さなければいけませんでしたが（アクティビティを朝いちでご予約されるのが待ち時間が少なくて済むと思います）帰りは自分が好きな時間に帰れるので良いと思います。

I participated in the 150m event ^ - ^
At first, I was anxious, but the staff member was really upbeat and it was so much fun!
However, for those who are prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

150m参加しました^ - ^
最初不安でしたが、従業員の兄さんのノリが良く最高に楽しかったです！
ただ、船酔いしやすい人は必ず酔い止め必須です。

The weather was clear! I was picked up near the hotel and took a bus to the location. The crew members were very kind and there were many happy people, which made it enjoyable! The lunch on the water was amazing!!! The sandbar we aimed for was breathtakingly beautiful. It was about thigh-deep, but that was no problem! We also saw many sea turtles before heading out to snorkel. It became a wonderful memory!!

天気も快晴！ホテル近くでピックアップしてもらいバスに乗って現地へ。
クルーの皆さんはとても優しくハッピーな方がたくさんで楽しめました！水上でのランチ最高です！！！
お目当のサンドバーには息を飲むくらいの綺麗さ。太ももくらいの高さでしたが問題ありません！ウミガメもたくさん見かけたりしてからシュノーケルへ。 最高な思い出になりました！！

Challenging myself to 150 meters. At first, I was nervous, but once I started flying, it felt amazing. The blue ocean spread out below me, I could feel the blue sky close by, and the refreshing breeze was just perfect. If you're going to fly, go for 150 meters!! There’s absolutely no fear. I highly recommend you try it!

150メートルに挑戦。最初はハラハラドキドキでしたが、飛び始めたら最高の気分。青い海が眼下に広がり、青空を近くに感じ、気持ちいい風が当たり最高でした。飛ぶなら150メートル！！怖さは全くありません。ぜひ挑戦してください。
