All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Two guides accompanied the nine participants. The guides carefully observed the overall condition of the participants while searching for sea turtles. Thanks to their solid support, even I, who cannot swim, was able to participate until the end without dropping out. I was worried about the cold due to my slim build, but I rented a wetsuit, so I managed to endure it (though I was shivering in the second half). I was able to see cute sea turtles, which became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

9名の参加者に対して2名のガイドさんがついてくれました。
ガイドさんはウミガメを探しながらも参加者全体の様子をよく観察しています。
しっかりとしたサポートのおかげで泳げない私でも脱落することなく最後まで参加できました。
痩せ型のため寒さを心配していたのですがウェットスーツをレンタルしたのでなんとか耐えられました。（後半は体が震えていましたが）
可愛いウミガメを見ることができてとてもいい思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございました。

It was really amazing! The experience during free fall and the control after the parachute opened, as well as the views, were all incredibly fun. The instructors were also very enjoyable, making it worth the trip. The waiting time after arriving at the airfield was a bit long, but I still want to go again.

ホントにサイコーでした！
フリーフォール中やパラシュートが開いた後の操縦体験や景色、全部めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。
インストラクターの方々もとても楽しくて行った甲斐が有りました。
飛行場に着いてからの待ち時間がちょっと長いけどそれでもまた行きたいです。

It was my first time trying stand-up paddle surfing, and I was worried about causing trouble for the other participants, so I joined a private lesson. At first, I had a hard time standing up, but thanks to the instructor's kind advice, I was able to enjoy it very much in the second half! Thank you so much!!

スタンドアップパドル・サーフィン自体初めてで、ツアー参加者にご迷惑をおかけするのはどうかと･･･プライベートレッスンに参加しました。
最初はなかなか立てなかったのですが、インストラクターの親切なアドバイスのお陰で後半は非常に楽しむことが出来ました♪
本当に有難うこざいました！！

I had a very enjoyable and great experience! When I was blown by the wind up in the air, it shook quite a bit, and I felt a little scared. But that added to the thrill, and it was good!

I was looking forward to being able to take photos and purchase them for $30, but it seems I needed to apply before getting on the boat, so I was disappointed that I couldn't get the photos... I think I'll make sure to check properly next time.

とても楽しくいい経験ができました！
上空で風に吹かれた際にかなり揺れて、少し恐怖を感じました。ですがそれもスリルがあってよかったです！

写真を撮っていただけて30ドルで購入できるとのことで楽しみにしていましたが、船に乗る前に申請する必要があったようで、写真をもらえず残念でした…次からはきちんと確認しようと思います。

When we arrived at the port, it was completely cloudy. I passed by people who participated in the morning tour, and they all seemed to have gloomy expressions. I was half resigned to the weather, but when we arrived at the sandbar, the clouds began to clear, and it ended up being a beautiful sunny day!! It was truly a paradise! We were lucky to see many sea turtles, and snorkeling was a lot of fun! Since it was a nature tour, we understood that the weather was beyond our control and decided to take our chances. When we did, we were rewarded with breathtaking views, and everyone was extremely satisfied!! Thank you to all the staff!

港に到着時は全面曇ってました。
午前中のツアーに参加した人たちとすれ違いましたが、表情もみな曇っていたように感じました。
なかば諦めていましたが、サンドバーに到着するとどんどん雲がはけて、最終的には快晴！！
天使の海そのものでした！
ウミガメも運良くたくさんみれましたし、シュノーケルも楽しかったです！
自然のツアーなので、天気は仕方ないので理解して運にかけて参加するべき。
自分たちも運にかけて参加したら超絶景で全員大満足でした！！
スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました！

As the captain mentioned, the sunset was beautifully visible with the perfect weather. We went around the back of Diamond Head, and the view from the sea was amazing. On the mountain side, there were clouds, and after the rain, a beautiful rainbow appeared. We enjoyed beers and cocktails, truly savoring the essence of Hawaii.

キャプテンも最高のお天気と話していた通り、サンセットもキレイに見えました。
ダイアモンドヘッドの裏側まで周り、海からの景色も最高でした。山側には雲がかかって雨が降ったあとの虹もキレイでした。
ビールやカクテルも楽しめてこれぞハワイを満喫しました。

I had the best and most valuable experience!!
The driver, who also took care of us, was an incredibly kind and unique grandfather, and he was really funny (laughs).
The instructors and cameramen who flew with us were truly professionals, and I felt safe while flying.
It was really fun!!
Thank you very much ^ ^

最高で貴重な体験が出来ました！！
ドライバー兼私たちのお世話をしてくださったおじいちゃん。とっても優しくて個性的で、面白かったです（笑）
一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターやカメラマンの方たちは本当にプロで、安心して飛ぶことが出来ました。
本当に楽しかったです！！
ありがとうこざいました^ ^

In Hawaii, you can enjoy free hula performances at various locations. I’m really glad I chose this show. First of all, the green champagne and snacks in the green room were delicious. Pony, who attended to us, provided a very pleasant explanation of the room and services. Gavin, the boss, gave an interesting explanation of the costumes, equipment, and lighting backstage. Both were in English, but I was able to understand. The food served at the stage side was also tasty. The boy even prepared lobster and made a shaka sign with its claw, and he showed me photos from his trip to Japan. I enjoyed the hula show and songs featuring Elvis and Michael. I was pleasantly surprised that photography during the performance was allowed without flash. I've been to Hawaii many times, but I would recommend this special experience for anniversaries and other occasions.

ハワイでは各所で無料のフラを楽しむことができます。それでもこのショーを選んで大変良かったと思いました。まずグリーンルームでのグリーンシャンペンとおつまみがおいしかったです。アテンドをしてくれたポニーさんにとても感じ良く部屋の説明やサービスをして頂きました。ボスのギャビンはバックステージで衣装や装置、照明の解説をしてくれ興味深かったです。どちらも英語オンリーですが理解はできました。ステージサイドでの料理もおいしかったです。ボーイさんがロブスターをさばいてくれその爪でシャカサインをしてくれたり、自分が日本を旅行した時の写真などを見せてくれました。エルビスとマイケル、フラのショーや歌も楽しめました。上演中の写真撮影はフラッシュ無しなら全てＯＫなのは驚きと共に嬉しかったです。ハワイは何度も行っていますが特別な体験で記念日などにはお薦めしたいと思います。

We had such an awesome time cruising on the Na Homs Catamaran Booze Cruise! The weather was 75 and sunny, the staff was friendly and inviting. The waves were tolerable and there was plenty of sitting space on the sail boat, could not have asked for a better 25th birthday!!

It was surprisingly cold, so I want to go in the summer next time.

I enjoyed it from start to finish!

My partner lost their windbreaker somewhere, but the staff helped us look for it and were very polite in their response.

I definitely want to go again, so I hope to see you then!

以外と寒かったので今度は夏に行きたいです

最初から最後まで楽しめました❗️

相方がウインドブレーカーをどこかで無くしてしまいましたがスタッフの方に色々と探して頂きとても丁寧な対応をしてもらいました☺️

是非また行きたいと思いますのでその時はよろしくお願いします

We, a group of five from our company trip to Hawaii, spent three nights and five days in Honolulu. Since we are close friends, we were excited even before departure. Once we arrived in Honolulu, we had a parade of requests about where we wanted to go and what we wanted to eat. Among those plans, we booked a North Shore tour for the second day of our trip, December 17 (Monday). The tour was coordinated by Kazu, who has lived in Hawaii for decades. The journey from Honolulu to the North Shore was filled with stories about the ongoing monorail development and quizzes about the Dole Pineapple Plantation.

Along the way, we had some time, so we stopped by a coffee farm, enjoyed complimentary coffee, and listened to stories about the mountains where Zero fighters flew during the Pearl Harbor attack, reflecting on the happiness after the war while gazing at the blue Hawaiian sky. After that, we enjoyed ice cream at the pineapple plantation and finally arrived at Haleiwa's Old Town on the North Shore. We soaked in the local atmosphere of Hawaii that we had always dreamed of. Kazu shared information about local food and the history of the shops, and we savored Hawaiian dishes of tuna and shrimp, leaving us satisfied.

This is where Kazu truly shined as our local guide! He informed us that a world championship was taking place at the North Shore, where surfers from around the world gather. We asked Kazu if he could drop us off at the competition venue, and off we went to the world championship site! It was exhilarating to see the North Shore's Pipeline, which we had only seen on TV, with our own eyes! Our close-knit group of five had a precious experience! I highly recommend everyone to join Kazu's tour at North Shore through VELTRA. A wonderful experience awaits you! ^^;

私たち、ハワイ社員旅行5人組でホノルル3泊5日の旅でした。気心知れた仲間ですので、出発前から大騒ぎ。ホノルル着いたら、あそこへ行きたい。何を食べたい。リクエストのオンパレード。そんな中、ツアー2日目の12月17日（月）にノースショア観光を予約しました。現地でツアーをコーディネートしてくれたのが、ハワイ在住うん十年のKazuさん。ホノルルからノースショアまでの道のりハイウェイ道中も、現在開発中のモノレール開発秘話やドール・パイナップルプランテーションクイズなど盛りだくさん。途中、時間もあったため、「コーヒーファーム」に立ち寄り、フリードリンクコーヒーをごちそうになり、コーヒ園から眺めなれるパールハーバー大戦時のゼロ戦が飛んでいった山谷のお話しに戦後の幸せを感慨深く思い、ハワイの青空を眺めました。その後は、パイナップルプランテーションでアイスクリームを楽しみ、いよいよノースショア・ハレイワのオールドタウンに。憧れたハワイのローカルな雰囲気を満喫。Kazuさんからローカルフード情報や店舗のヒストリーなどうかがい、マグロとエビのハワイアン料理に舌づつみを打ち、お腹も満腹。ここからが現地ガイド、Kazuさんの真骨頂！ちょうど、Kazuさんが世界のサーファーが集うノースショアで世界大会が行われている情報をゲット。我われKazuさんに無理を言って、その大会会場で特別に降ろしていただき、いざ、世界大会会場に！テレビでしか見たことのない、ノースショアのパイプラインをこの目で見ることができてエキサイティング！仲良し5人組は貴重な体験をしたのでした！ぜひ、みなさん！ノースショアはVELTRA　現地ガイドKazuさんのツアーに参加してみてくださいね。素敵な体験があなたをお待ちしております^^;

I had been looking forward to this trip for a long time. Based on various reviews, I prepared shoes that I wouldn't mind throwing away after the trip. However, the weather held up, and my shoes didn't get too dirty. The mud was heavy and difficult to wash off. Since it was slippery, sneakers are the best choice. There were many mosquitoes, so insect repellent is a must. Water and raincoats were provided. The guide explained about the forest plants, but the walking pace was a bit fast. The lunch on the way back was delicious, but the side dishes in the bento varied slightly from person to person, with some having a lot of root vegetables.

You can go individually, but having a guide was beneficial for the information provided.

以前から行きたいと思ったいたので、楽しみにしていました。いろんな口コミを参考に、帰りに捨てても良いような、靴を用意しました。しかし、天候崩れず、靴もたいして汚れずに済みました。赤土で重く、汚れたら落ちにくい泥です。滑りやすいので、スニーカーがベストです。蚊が多いので、虫除けは必修。水とカッパは、用意されていました。ガイドさんは、森の植物など説明してくれますが、歩くペースが少し早いです。帰のランチは美味しかったのですが、お弁当のおかずが、人によって多少違っており、芋類が多いものもありました。
個人でも行けますが、ガイドがつくと情報も入るので良かったと思います。

I was looking forward to this tour.
The horseback riding itself was enjoyable, but the tour guide, Kaz, was very businesslike. He only said what he needed to say (just explanations) and ignored us or responded coldly when we tried to say something. Even when I just wanted to confirm something as a first-time participant, he would say things like, "I just said that, didn't I?" with a laugh, and "That's why I'm asking."
When my child spoke a little loudly, he covered his ears, sighed, and told us to be quiet, saying that if we didn't keep it down, it would irritate the tour guide again. I ended up scolding my child out of frustration.
I realized he didn't like children, and it was exhausting throughout the trip.
Even when I conveyed that my child was looking forward to seeing the sea turtles, he casually replied, "They'll be around, but there are hardly any in winter."
He told us to go through the grass, and my shoes got soaked walking through the wet grass after the rain.
After the horseback riding, he just said, "We're going back right away!" without asking for any feedback, and mentioned that we were running late. I felt like I was constantly checking the tour guide's mood, and it was very tiring.
I was really disappointed since I had paid nearly 100,000 yen for the tour. I don't think I will use this company again.

このツアーを楽しみにしていました。
乗馬自体は楽しかったのですが、ツアコンのカズさんが業務的で、言いたいことだけ（説明だけ）言って、こちらがなにか言っても無視か、冷たい反応。初参加でよくわからないので確認しただけにもかかわらず、
私さっき言いましたよね？鼻で笑って、だからそれを聞いてるんです。などと言われたり、
子どもがちょっと大きな声で話したら、耳を押さえられて、ため息ついて、静かにしてください、といわれ、静かにさせないとまたツアコンの方をいらつかせるなあと、私も子どもに叱りイライラ。
彼が子どもが嫌いなのはわかりましたが、道中どっと疲れました。
また子どもがウミガメを楽しみにしてることを伝えても、
寄りますけど、冬場はほとんどいないですよ
と、あっさり。15分で戻ってきて。と、草むらを突っ切って行けと言われて、雨上がりの草むらを歩いて靴はビシャビシャ。
乗馬後も、すぐに帰りますから！とだけ言われ、感想を聞くわけでもなく、時間がおしてる。
などと言ってきて、ツアコンの方の顔色伺がって、どっと疲れて帰ってきました。
10万円近いツアー代金を払っていたので本当に残念でした。こちらの会社は2度ど利用しないと思います。

Since my stay was short, I relied on this tour to efficiently explore the area. It covers all the famous landmarks, tourist spots, shows, and cultural experiences listed in guidebooks. The price for two meals included was a great deal.

滞在期間が短かったので、効率的に観光できるこちらのツアーにお世話になりました。ガイドブックに載っている名所、観光スポット、ショー、文化体験全て網羅されてます。2食付きでこの料金はお得でした。

It was as good as the reputation suggests.
It's a place that many people, even those with experience traveling to Hawaii, surprisingly don't know about, but I definitely recommend visiting at least once.
It truly was a place deserving of the expression "the sea of angels."

評判通り良かったです。
ハワイ渡航経験者でも意外と知らない人も多い場所ですが、必ず1度は訪れてほしいところです。
天使の海という表現にふさわしい場所でした。

I had a hard time communicating at the reception to see if I could board earlier than planned. Also, I was anxious because I couldn't communicate in Japanese on the ferry to the submarine. Once I got on the submarine, I was disappointed to find that there were surprisingly few beautiful fish.

予定より早い行動となり、受付で乗船を前倒し出来ないか伝えるのに、一苦労しました。
また、潜水艦への連絡船でも日本語が通じず不安でした。
潜水艦に乗ってからは、意外に綺麗な魚が少なく期待ハズレでした。

I participated in a backstage tour for two people. First, we showed our voucher and received drink tickets and a green room pass, then we were guided to our room. As soon as we entered the room, Elvis appeared and greeted us with a wonderful smile, allowing us to take a handshake and a photo together. This photo was included in the package and was brought to us during the meal.

After receiving champagne and snacks, the manager came to take us on the backstage tour. The explanations were in English, so I didn't fully understand everything, but I was able to enjoy it enough. Elvis let us hold his heavy, sparkling white costume and said, "This is Michael's costume from 'Billie Jean'." They even let us wear the feather headdresses that the dancers wear and took photos of us.

Having seen the backstage, when the show actually started, I thought, "Michael and Elvis are wearing those costumes! That dancer's feather headdress is what we wore!" This made the show even more enjoyable! We had front-row seats, which were incredibly powerful! Elvis came around to both the second and first floors. I even got to wear a lei around my neck and received a kiss on the cheek. I was so happy!

There are many other reviews that mention this, but the food, the stage, and the staff's response were all great. If I had to point out one downside, it would be that the lobster was a bit difficult to eat.

I highly recommend participating in the backstage tour at least once! You can see the movements of professional dancers' muscles up close, and it's truly impressive!

2人でバックステージが見学できるツアーに参加しました。まず バウチャーを見せて ドリンク券とグリーンルームの札を貰い お部屋まで案内してもらいます。お部屋に入ってすぐに エルビスが登場し すてきな笑顔で握手と写真を撮ってもらいました。この写真はコースに含まれているので 食事の時に係の方が持ってきてくれました。
シャンパンとおつまみを貰って少しすると マネージャーが来てバックステージ見学です。説明は英語で 完全にはわかりませんが 十分に楽しむ事が出来ました。 エルビスの白いキラキラの衣装は重たいから持ってごらんと持たせてくれたし これがマイケルのビリージーンの衣装だよとか ダンサーが頭に付ける羽飾りを被らせてくれて写真を撮ってくれたりしました。バックステージを見学した事で 実際ステージが始まると マイケルやエルビスがあの衣装を着てる‼︎あのダンサーの羽飾り 私達が被ったものだ！なんて思う楽しみもあって よりショーを満喫することができました！席は1番前の席で大迫力です！エルビスは2階席にも1階席にもまわってきてくれました。私もレイを首からかけてもらい頬にキスしてもらいました。嬉しかった‼︎
他の口コミにも沢山ありますが 食事もステージもスタッフの対応も すべて良いです。しいてあげるなら ロブスターが食べづらいことかな。
バックステージ見学コース 1回はぜひ参加する事をお勧めします‼︎
プロのダンサーの筋肉の動きまで 間近で見る事ができ 迫力満点です‼︎

My son was SUPER excited to go snorkeling so we booked a day through Veltra. Our driver showed up within 5 minutes of our pickup time (a feat with traffic) and got us going. He was very personable and helpful in getting us our equipment. We had an AMAZING day at Hanauma Bay (reef-safe sunblock only, people!) He was right on time for our pickup and turned on the AC so we could sit comfortably while waiting for the rest of the guests to return. We had a great amount of time to be in the water and had so much fun! My son got an acceptance call to the first choice college while we were waiting. Our driver said Congrats and even again as we were getting out of the van. It
was a fabulous day.

The kids experienced the 150m ride! They were a bit nervous since it was their first time, but the cheerful local guy really got them excited! He even took photos for us, and thanks to him, we had a very enjoyable time on the boat both while waiting for the kids' turn and after it was over! I plan to sign up again the next time I go to Honolulu! The shuttle also arrived on time in front of the hotel, which was reassuring.

子供達が150ｍ体験しました！初めてで少し緊張していましたが、ノリノリで盛り上げてくれた陽気な現地のお兄さん‼️
写真も撮ってくれたり、子供達の番がくる時も終わってからもボートの上はお兄さんのお陰でとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました❣️
次回ホノルルに行く時も申し込もうと思ってます！
送迎もホテルの前に時間通り来てくれたので安心でした。

My husband and our friends really enjoyed the view of Honolulu and the fireworks!

The show itself is somewhat inferior compared to Las Vegas. I wished that Elvis and Michael would sing more popular songs. The theater is smaller compared to those in Las Vegas.

ショー自体はラスベガスに比べるとやや劣ります。エルビスさんもマイケルさんももっと人気歌を歌ってほしかったものです。劇場はラスベガスに比べるとこじんまりとしています。

It was my first experience, but I wasn't scared. I took some footage with my phone. I rode with two other people. We went for 150 meters.

初体験でしたが、怖くありませんでした。自分の携帯で様子を撮りました。他の人２人と一緒に乗りました。１５０Mにしてみました。

I've come here so many times, but this was my first time paragliding. The staff took photos at just the right moments, making it an amazing experience. Just before a once-in-a-hundred-years hurricane hit, the clear skies and the height of 150 meters were fantastic. I want to participate again!

こんなに何回も来ているのに初めてパラセイリングをしました。スタッフの人もいいタイミングで写真を撮ってくださり、最高の体験になりました。
100年に一度のハリケーンが来る寸前で、快晴の中、150メートルの高さは最高でした。また参加したいです。

This is my second time using this service this year. I was able to see a wonderful sunset, and the sea breeze was refreshing. The atmosphere on the boat was great, and the Mai Tais and beer were delicious. They even gave us snacks as a gift on the way back. I plan to ride again when I go to Hawaii.

今年2回目の利用です。素晴らしいサンセットが見れましたし、潮風も爽快です。船の上の雰囲気も良くて、マイタイやビールもおいしい。帰りにはお菓子もプレゼントまで有りました。またハワイに行った際には乗るつもりです。

We had done this excursion on our first trip last year. We had such an amazing time we decided to do it again
Upon our arrival at the marina our guide Jenner took excellent care of us but the best part was he remembered us from over a year ago the crew was exceptional we had a great lunch and saw lots of turtles. The snorkeling was fantastic
This is by far our favorite thing to do while on Oahu

I heard from a friend who went before that they had a great time sitting in the front row and even got a kiss from Elvis, so I thought if I was going to go, I might as well join the show with a backstage tour. First, I was welcomed at the entrance with a hula dance, and then I was taken to the VIP room. After taking photos with the stars, we enjoyed champagne and finger foods. Then, we were taken backstage for explanations and more photos. After that, we had a course meal right in the center of the front row. Everything was delicious. Honestly, I wish I had a bit more time to enjoy the first finger foods. But the girl, Momo, whom I talked to in the VIP room was incredibly beautiful, and I was completely smitten. Since she was also in the show, I thought, "That's the Momo I just talked to!" and I became a fan. I was so excited to see Michael Jackson, Elvis, and hula dancing right in the center of the front row. It was an amazing night filled with unforgettable memories, especially when they came down to our seats. I highly recommend the backstage tour plus the VIP course dinner if you go.

友人が以前行き、最前列で観てたらエルヴィスにチューされて楽しかったと聞き私もどうせ行くならと思いバックステージツアー付きのショーに参加しました。 まず入口でフラダンスのお出迎え、その後VIPルームに通されました。スターとの写真撮影後、シャンパンとフィンガーフードをいただきました。その後バックステージに連れて行って下さり説明と写真を取りました。その後ステージ最前列のど真ん中でコース料理をいただきました。味も全て美味しかったです。正直最初のフィンガーフードをもう少し食べる時間が欲しかった。でもVIPルームで色々お話したモモちゃん！すっごく綺麗で惚れ惚れでした。ショーにも出ていたのでさっき話ししたモモちゃんだ〜っと思ってすっかりファンになってしまいました。最前列のど真ん中でマイケルジャクソン、エルヴィス、
フラダンスなど見れてめちゃくちゃ興奮しました。席にも降りて来てマジかでも見れたりと素晴らしい最高の思い出に残る夜でした。行くならバックステージツアー＋VIPコースディナーをお勧めします。

Not only Hawaiian, but also impersonations of famous singers like Presley are very well done and captivating.

The buffet before the show felt a bit short on time, but it was exciting to see Hawaiian dance and ukulele up close.

ハワイアンだけでなくて
プレスリーやその他の有名な歌手の日本で言えば、モノマネになるのでしょうがとてもお上手で引き込まれてしまう

ショーの前のビュッフェは少し時間が物足りない気がしましたが、間近で、ハワイアンのダンスやウクレレで盛り上がりました。

Everything was great from the time of arrival. We arrived a few hours early to visit the waterfall and botanical garden. Simply beautiful and peaceful. That landed us in time for the luau and we got upgraded to VIP! Warning VIP you may be asked to be part of the show but it’s all fun and games and a great hands on learning experience. Food was buffet style and also amazingly delicious. All in all a great day at a great price.

The Rock-a-Hula show, the largest cast show in Waikiki that blends Polynesian culture with rock and roll, is one of many shows on Oahu. You can see all of them right here at the Royal Hawaiian Center, located in the heart of the town, and the safety in the area is excellent.

ロック・ア・フラショー　ポリネシアンとロックンロールを融合させたワイキキ最大のキャストショー は、オアフにいろいろショーがあるが、その全部をここロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンターで、みれる、場所が町のど真ん中のロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンターで、治安も最高です。

Loved this experience! We saw so many turtles and fish and the water was crystal clear. Loved the net that you can sit on whilst the boat was driving The boat was perfect and so was the weather on the day we went out. 10/10. What a highlight to end our holiday. Would definitely do this again. Thanks so much for having us on board.
