All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The ocean in Hawaii that I visited for the first time was incredibly beautiful, and I was moved by it. The malasada I had for the first time was served warm, and I was able to eat it right away, which was also a touching experience. It was so delicious that it has become one of my favorite foods.

My first experience with snorkeling was also very good. I’m not a strong swimmer, so I had to get back on the boat, but I still want to try it again.

The barbecue on the boat was wonderful because I got to eat my favorite kalbi, which made me very happy.

The guide's explanations were very clear and I appreciated that.

Everyone was kind and gentle, and I definitely want to go back.

Thank you very much.

初めて行ったハワイの海はとても色がうつくしくて、感動しました。
初めて食べたハワイのマラサダは、ホカホカに温かくしてくださったものを直ぐに食べれて、これも感動でした。とても美味しくて、私の大好きな食べ物の一つに加わりました。
シュノーケルの初体験もとても良かったです。泳ぎはカナヅチなので、ボートに上がらされましたが、でもまた行ってみたいと思えました。
船上でのバーベキューはわたしの大好きなカルビが食べれて幸せでした。

ガイドの方の説明もとてもわかりやすく、ありがたかったです。

みんな親切にしてくださる、優しい方ばかりで、また行きたいと思いました。

本当にありがとうございました。

An amazing cruise and sailing. We saw lots of turtles and tropical fishes during the snorkeling. It was amazing.

I experienced the 150m. At first, I was nervous, but it was thrilling and great. The instructors were cheerful people, which was nice. I'll definitely do it again when I come to Hawaii next time!

150mを体験しました。最初はどきどきでしたがスリルがあって良かったです。インストラクターも陽気な人達でよかった。次もハワイに来たときはやりますね！

Horseback riding in Hawaii. There are various options, but this was the only place I found that allows small children to ride, so I made a request. I thought it would be a short experience, more like a child's play (laughs), but to my surprise... we got to ride on a big, adorable horse and explore the mountain trails!

It was a unique experience that you can't have in Japan, and I really enjoyed it. My 2-year-old daughter fell asleep, so her dad rode instead. I had only made a reservation for my grandchild, but they easily accommodated changing it to one adult for my grandchild and adding another adult.

Next time, we plan to go on a trip with just the grandparents, and I want to go horseback riding at Turtle Bay, where we went for our honeymoon (laughs). It will be next New Year's, so I hope to see you then!

ハワイで乗馬。色々有るけど小さな子供の乗れる乗馬はここしか見つからず、お願いしました。時間も短いし、子供騙し(笑)的な感じで乗るんだろうなぁ～と思いきや……
本格的に大きな可愛いお馬に乗れて、山道散策！
日本では、味わえない経験が出来て、とても楽しめました。2歳の女の子は寝てしまってパパが代わりに乗れました。孫だけの予約をしていたのですが、あちらで、孫1人大人に変更と、大人1人追加も簡単に対応していただきました。
次回は、じぃじ&ばぁばの2人旅の予定なので、新婚旅行で行った(笑)タートルベイの乗馬に行きたいなぁ‼って言ってます。来年のお正月になりますが、その時もヨロシクお願いします。

We were really looking for a beginner experience as most of us weren't strong swimmers. Half of us didn't finish the entire activity as we got easily tired and unfortunately didn't see any turtles. It was a good experience though and something worth doing/trying at least once.

We were all beginners at swimming and snorkeling but had a good time. The underwater photos and video was a good keepsake for our family.

It took a while to get used to the snorkel but a good experience nonetheless.

I had a great time.
The tour included round-trip transportation, which was reassuring.
And the BBQ was even more delicious than I imagined!

All the staff were very kind, so I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

とっても楽しかったです。
ツアーとしては、往復の送迎付きで、安心でした。
そしてBBQが想像以上に美味しかった！

スタッフの皆さんが、とても親切な方ばかりでしたので、また機会があれば参加したいです。

It was my first time in Hawaii!
The weather was great, and I even got to see sea turtles!
The Japanese guide was friendly, and it was a fun tour for everyone!

初めてのハワイでした！
天気にも恵まれて、ウミガメにも会えました！
日本語ガイドさんでみなさんフレンドリーで楽しいツアーでした！

I had a great time! The divers and the transport staff spoke English, so those who don't speak might feel a bit anxious, but there were video explanations in Japanese for important points, and the divers were very friendly, often mixing in some Japanese while talking, which made it really enjoyable! It became a wonderful memory!

とても楽しかったです！
ダイバーの方も送迎の方も英語なので、喋らない方は少し不安に思うかもしれませんが注意点などは日本語でのビデオ説明があったり、ダイバーの方はすごくフレンドリーで時々日本語を混ぜてくれて話してくれるのでとても楽しいです！！いい思い出になりました！

I experienced skydiving from 14,000 feet!
The instructor can speak some Japanese, so I think you'll feel at ease.
It gets quite cold until you land, so be careful with light clothing!
It's something you can't usually experience, so definitely give it a try!!

14000フィートからのスカイダイビングを経験しました！
インストラクターも多少は日本語が話せるので、安心できると思います。
地上に降りるまでは結構寒いので、薄着は注意です！
普段経験できないことを、ぜひ！！

At first, I was a bit nervous waiting for the van, which arrived about 20 minutes late. I was worried along with a foreign couple who were also waiting, thinking maybe they overslept since no one said anything. I had read everyone’s experiences beforehand, so I took motion sickness medication before participating. I usually don’t get motion sickness, so I was fine, but my mother is prone to it. She was okay until we got on the boat, but once we were in the water, the waves were quite rough, and she ended up feeling sick. A few foreign participants in the tour also got sick, and some were even vomiting.

We entered the cage with about 3 to 4 groups, and during that time, the crew scattered food, attracting a lot of sharks. They came quite close, but they didn’t attack, and it was thrilling to see them up close. It was a unique experience, and the elderly foreign couple with us was quite excited! There were changing areas and restrooms available, but everyone just wore shirts over their swimsuits and went home like that. There was also a small shop where we bought snacks and drinks while waiting for the van to arrive. I definitely think you should give it a try!

初めは、少し緊張しながらバンを待っていたのですが、20分くらい遅刻して来て一緒にまってな外国人夫婦と、まだ来ないね…と心配していました。特に何も言わなかったので寝坊かな??と思いました。そして、皆さんの体験談を読んで居たので、あらかじめ酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。もともと乗り物酔いしないタイプだったので、私は、酔わなかったのですが、母が乗り物酔いしやすいタイプで、船に乗ってゲージまで行くところまでは、元気だったのですが、逆に海の中に入ってからの方が波の揺れも激しく、そこで酔ってしまってしました。一緒にツアーに参加した数人の外国人の方も酔っていて、吐いている人もいました。ゲージの中へは、3組~4組くらい一緒に入って、その間にクルーの人達がエサをまいてくれるので、サメがたくさん寄ってきてくれます。でも、近くまで来ても襲って来ることも無く、かなり近くで見れて迫力があります。なかなか出来ない体験なので、一緒に居た高齢の外国人夫婦もかなり興奮していました!!一応着替える場所、トイレもあるのですが、みんな水着の上にシャツを着てそのまま帰っていました。あとは小さな売店??みたいなのが来ていて、迎えのバンが来るまでスナックやジュースを買って待っていました。是非、参加してみてもいいと思います。

This is my third time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in this tour. Since it included a Japanese-speaking guide, I was a bit worried about what it would be like, but the tour guide turned out to be one of the crew members and was very good at Japanese. They made the experience enjoyable with jokes and a fun atmosphere. The guide provided thorough explanations about the types of fish and the sunken ship, and I was able to encounter turtles, sharks, and manta rays, which made me very satisfied.

ハワイへは、3回目になるのですが、初めてこのツアーに参加しました。日本語ガイド付きということもあり、どんな感じだろー??と心配しながら参加しましたが、ツアーガイドさんが、なんとクルーの1人でとても、日本語が上手でジョークも交えながらとても楽しく過ごせました。魚の種類や沈んでいる船の説明もしっかりしてくれて、カメやサメ、マンタ??にも遭遇できて、とても満足しています。

We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated in a horseback riding tour. The horse my wife rode was laid-back and a bit of a foodie, while the horse I rode was a little impatient. There were opinions that "two hours is tiring for a first-time rider," so we chose the one-hour course, but I felt like I wanted to ride for another hour. (According to my wife) For those who are not used to exercising, I think one hour is just right. The natural beauty and the cuteness of the horses were amazing, completely different from the Waikiki side.

新婚旅行でハワイに来て、乗馬ツアーに参加しました。
妻が乗った馬は、マイペースで食いしん坊。僕が乗った馬は、少しせっかちな子でした。
「初乗馬で2時間は疲れる」という意見もあったため、1時間のコースにしましたが、もう1時間乗りたかったなーという感想でした。運動不足の人なら1時間がちょうどいいと思います。(妻曰く)
ワイキキ側とは全然違う自然の美しさ、馬のかわいさが最高でした。

The staff were very energetic, and although I participated alone, I had a great time. I hesitated to join the snorkeling time because it was a bit cold, but I decided to go for it, and it was the right choice! I was able to capture a sea turtle swimming right below me on camera! It might be good to have marine shoes for snorkeling. It can be a bit painful on your feet if you're barefoot from the sandbar to the snorkeling point.

スタッフさんたちもとても元気で、１人で参加しましたがとても楽しめました。シュノーケリングタイムはちょっと寒くてやめようか迷いましたが、思いきって参加して正解❗自分の真下を泳ぐ海亀をカメラにおさめることが出来ました❗ シュノーケリングはマリンシューズがあるといいかもしれません。サンドバーからシュノーケリングのポイントまで、裸足だとちょっと足が痛いです。

The driver for the shuttle was very energetic and we had a great time getting to the location. The parasailing offered a fantastic view of Waikiki and we could see Diamond Head clearly, which was absolutely amazing! I was able to bring my GoPro, so I could capture videos and I'm really looking forward to watching them later.

I was concerned about managing my valuables and didn't bring any money, so I missed out on buying photos, which was a bit disappointing. However, it turned out that it was perfectly fine to bring valuables. Also, we had the option for a water landing, and although I got wet, there wasn't a place or time to change, so I went back to the hotel as I was.

送迎の運転手さんのテンションが高くノリノリで現地まで行けました
パラセーリングもワイキキが一望でき、ダイヤモンドヘッドもよく見え最高に楽しかっです！
goproを持って出来たので動画で残す事ができ後で見るのがとても楽しみです。
貴重品管理が気になりお金を持って行かなくて写真が買えなかったのが残念
全然貴重品は持っていって大丈夫でした
また、着水も選択でき、濡れたのですが着替える場所とタイミングがなくそのままホテルへ戻りました。

The guides were great and it was a casual relaxing boat ride with pretty views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. Didn’t get to see much but it was nice to be out on the water.

I participated with my elementary school child. We brought our own snorkeling sets. It was a luxurious experience that we don't get to have often. I will definitely join again next time.

小学生の子供つれての参加です。シュノーケリングセットは自分たちのを持って行きました。なかなか体験できない贅沢な時間でした。次回も是非参加します。

This was my second time at Sandbar, and the weather was great this time! The water was perfect, and we had so much fun playing beach volleyball together! After that, we went snorkeling at a coral reef while searching for sea turtles! We were able to spot a honu and saw so many fish; I couldn't be more satisfied! The hamburgers for lunch were also very filling and delicious! I definitely want to join again next time :)

サンドバーは2回目でしたか、今回は天気も良く最高でした！！水面は股下からいで、みんなで楽しくビーチバレーもできてめっちゃ楽しかったです！そのあとはウミガメを探しながらシュノーケリングのできるサンゴ礁へ！ホヌも見つけられて、魚もたくさん見れて満足しかないです！ランチのハンバーガーもボリュームたっぷりでとても美味しかったです！また次回も参加したいです:）

It was 150 meters. It was really great!
I thought there was relatively little wind in the morning, but up high, it sways side to side. It’s thrilling!
Looking down is really scary.
If you ask, they will take pictures from below.
You’ll receive them on an SD card for $30. I think it’s worth buying.
After coming down, there’s a wait time for others, but the loud reggae music on the boat really gives you a vacation vibe.
Watching is fun, but it can make you quite dizzy.
I’m not usually prone to motion sickness, but motion sickness medication is a must!
For those meeting on-site, the building doesn’t show up on Google Maps, but once you go, you’ll easily spot the light blue-roofed hut.

150メートルでした。すごく良かったです！
午前中は比較的風が少ないと思ったのですが、上の方は横揺れします。スリル満点！
足元を見るとすごくこわいです。
頼めば下から写真を撮ってくれます。
SDカードで渡されます。30ドルです。買ってもいい感じだと思いますよ。
降りてきたあとは他の人の待ち時間ですが、船上で大音量のレゲエがなんともバカンスな気持ちにさせてくれます。
見てるのも楽しいけどかなり酔います。
酔いやすい方ではないですが、酔い止め必須です！
現地集合の方は、Googleマップだと建物出てこないですが、行けば水色の屋根の小屋が見えるのですぐわかります。

The trip was fabulous! The crew is friendly, fun and knowledgeable. They keep you informed, entertained and fed (I liked the burger, chips and fruit). The equipment & boat were in excellent shape.

There isn't a lot of down time which I appreciated (activities/entertainment happening thru out the trip). Tyler was an amazing hula dancer! Make sure you bring cash to tip the crew, they work hard to show us tourists a great time!!

When we initially jumped in the water, we saw dolphins immediately! The second jump we saw more dolphins, a sting ray, and a sea turtle! (And fish, if course). It was amazing.

We didn't rent the wet suit and we were fine (mid April). We took Dramamine because of all the warnings in other reviews, so we had no motion sickness, but neither did anyone else. :)

My only advice would be that guests should be sure to sit under the covered area when the crew is making announcements. We were sitting at the very back of the boat (behind the speaker) and couldn't hear them at all. You'll also get a better view of the dancer.

Also, the slide was not available on our trip, so if that's important to you, you should double check?

I flew with my wife as part of our honeymoon. It was an amazing experience, but during landing, due to a mistake by the ground staff (the details are unclear as they were somewhat evasive), I was dragged by the parachute while connected to the instructor and suffered a 30 cm abrasion on my neck. I don't think the scar will go away. It seems the staff were a bit lax during the final flight of the day...

Before flying, you have to sign a very detailed waiver, so I understand it's at your own risk, and I guess there's not much to be done about it. For those considering it, definitely go with long sleeves and long pants. The risk of injury is high, and above all, it gets extremely cold up there.

妻とハネムーンついでに飛びました。
最高の体験でしたが、着地時に地上スタッフのミスにより（ごにょごにょと誤魔化されたので真相は不明ですが）、インストラクターと繋がれた状態でパラシュートに引き摺られ首に30cm程度の挫傷を負いました。多分傷は消えないと思います。
その日の最終フライトでスタッフの気が緩んでいたのでしょうが、、、
飛ぶ前に非常に細かな誓約書にサインさせられるので自己責任と思い、まぁ仕方のないことかと考えております。
検討されている方は、是非長袖長ズボンで挑んでください。怪我のリスクと何より上空が寒過ぎてやばいので。

The experience on the catamaran, sailing with the wind, was fantastic! It was great to interact with the other passengers as well. The captain and the assistant were handsome, which made me happy. I definitely want to ride again!

風を受けて走るカタマラン号が最高でした！乗合の方も楽しくて交流も出来たので良かったです。
キャプテンとアシスタントの方もイケメンで嬉しかったです。
また絶対乗りたいです！

The teacher is handsome, and I thought he only spoke English, but he can speak quite a bit of Japanese too. We all had a great time surfing together!! It was so much fun! 😊

なんといっても先生がイケメンだし英語オンリーだと思っていたら日本語も結構話せるし皆で楽しくサーフィン出来ました！！
最高に楽しかったです(^^♪

I was quite worried about whether the event would take place due to the strong winds, but it was held as scheduled. The sea was very rough, and out of five groups of passengers, one newlywed couple had to turn back because the wife was feeling nauseous and couldn't move. They ended up not being able to go parasailing. Six minutes really goes by in the blink of an eye.

この日はかなり強風で決行するのか心配でしたが予定通り開催されました。海も大荒れで5組の乗客のうち、1組の新婚カップルの奥様が吐き気で身動きできず、結局ご主人様と2人はパラセーリングをすることが出来ずUターン。6分間は本当にあっという間です。

I went parasailing for the first time in Hawaii! I couldn't imagine how high 150 meters would be, but it was a bit shaky, and the view was amazing!

The guide was really funny, so definitely try to chat with them!

When we went, there were about six groups, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and we had to stay on the boat until everyone was done, so I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication. Out of the 12 participants, three people felt unwell. Make sure you're in good health and have a great time making memories!

ハワイにて人生初めてのパラセーリングでした！
150mがどのくらいの高さが想像できなかったのですが、多少揺れるけど、景色は最高でしたー！

ガイドの方が面白いのでぜひ話してみてください！！

私たちのときは6組くらいで行ったのですが、
船がかなり揺れるのと、みんなが終わるまでは船に乗っていなければいけないので、
酔い止めを飲んでおくのが良いと思います。
参加者12人中3名が気分が悪くなっていました。
体調も万全でいって、楽しい思い出にしてください！

The instructor is a Hawaiian uncle (or grandfather?) who seems to have merged with the sea, a true professional. He was very friendly and remembered some necessary Japanese phrases (like "paddle" and "paddle more").

When you go into the water with the instructor, you can go quite deep. I was able to see a turtle swimming by. I can't forget the turtle that looked over at me while taking a slow breath.

Whether you're traveling as a couple or with family, you absolutely should try paddle surfing!

先生はハワイアンのおじさん（おじいさん？）で、
もはや海と同化しているようなプロです。
感じもよくて、必要な日本語も覚えていました。
（漕いで～、もっと漕いで～など）

先生と海に入るときはかなり深いところまで行けます。
カメが横を泳いでいくのも見られました。
ゆっくり息継ぎをしながらこっちをじろりと見たカメさんが忘れられないです。

二人旅でも、家族でも、パドルサーフィンは絶対やったほうがいいですよ！

Superrrr fun will definitely recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great experience! Easy sign up, inexpensive, great crew.

Only suggestion is to be more specific as to where to meet.

We participated with a total of nine relatives. The weather was great, and the sunset over Honolulu from the boat was amazing. There were not many Japanese people, but several military parties were on board, and everyone was having a great time from the start. The boat didn't rock too much, so I didn't get seasick. Next time I come to Honolulu, I would love to go again.

親類総勢９名で参加しました。天気もよく船上から見るホノルルの夕焼けは最高でした。日本人は少なく軍人のパーティが何組か乗船して出発から大乗で楽しんでいました。船はそんなに揺れなくて船酔いはしませんでした。
次回、ホノルルに来たら又、乗りたいです。
