All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Before coming here, I accidentally handed over the reservation confirmation sheet from the illusion show, so I could only confirm it on my smartphone screen. However, the staff were very kind and accommodating. Thanks to them, I was able to enjoy delicious hot chicken and crispy nachos, as well as a burger. Thank you very much!

此処へ来る前に行った、イリュージョンショーで予約確認の用紙を一緒に渡してしまいスマホの画面で確認する事しか出来なかったのに、スタッフの方々が親切に応じて下さいました。
お陰様で、熱々の美味しいチキンやカリカリのナチョス･バーガーたっぷりいただく事が出来ました✌本当に有難うございました

This was a super and well worth it tour. We had the Missouri in Washington state for many years and it was so great to see what a wonderful job Hawaii has done in taking care of this part of history. I learned so much history I didn't know about this war and these ships. The tour driver we had was one of the most knowledgeable ones I'd ever had he told us a lot of info we didn't learn on the tour. Not sure how to spell his name Kaleo I think. I would love to do it again as there was so much to learn.

It was amazing.
This time, we participated as a family of five.
Unfortunately, the sunset was cloudy...
The crew explained everything in English.
I thought all the guests would be English speakers, but about a third of the passengers were Japanese this time.
When boarding, there are waves, so depending on the situation, you might get wet up to your thighs.
The fast-paced English and long explanations were a bit hard to follow, but it all worked out, and the international crowd was lively and fun to be around.
The crew mixed in jokes and kept the atmosphere lively.
For those who enjoy alcohol, it must be even better.
With reggae music playing, there was unlimited Mai Tais, champagne, juice, etc.
However, if you get carried away, you might feel a bit unwell.
The scenery was fantastic. The view of Waikiki from the sea was quite impressive.
Since we were riding the waves, we got splashed a bit, which was part of the fun.
Once we went a bit offshore, we raised the sails and moved with the wind, so it felt like sailing.
It felt like two canoes connected, so there wasn't much side-to-side rocking,
and I felt safe while on board.
The ride lasted about an hour and a half.
It was quite a hidden gem of a tour.
Next time, we all talked about wanting to wear swimsuits and have a blast during the day.

最高でした。
今回、家族５人での参加でした。
サンセットは残念ながら、曇りだったので...
クルーはすべて英語での説明。
お客さんもすべてと思っていたのですが、
今回は３分の１くらい日本人が乗船していました。
乗船するときは波があるので、場合によっては太ももぐらいまで濡れてしまいます。
早い口調での英語、しかも長い説明でったので、分からないこともありましたが、何とかなるもので、海外の人たちはノリがいいし、一緒に楽しむことがいいと思います。
クルーたちが冗談混じりで、盛り立ててくれるし。
お酒が好きな人にはさらに最高でしょう。
レゲー調の音楽が流れる中で
マイタイ、シャンパン、ジュース、etc...飲み放題。
ただし、調子に乗りすぎると少し気分が悪くなるかも。
景色も最高です。海側からのワイキキの眺めもなかなかのものでした。
波に乗りながら行くので少し水しぶきがかかります。それも楽しみの一つです。
少し沖に出ると帆をあげて、風を受けての進行なので、ヨットそのものです。
カヌーが２連つないだ感じなので、横揺れがあまりなく、
安心して乗っていることができました。
約１時間半の乗船でした。
なかなかの穴場的なツアーでした。
次は、昼に水着を着て思いっきり楽しみたいと
みんなで話していました。

It was a very pleasant atmosphere, with the sea breeze, lovely music, and I was intoxicated by the champagne. The people I was with were all nice, and I had a great time. I want to ride again when I go to Hawaii! ✨

とても雰囲気の良い空間で、海の風と素敵な音楽、シャンパンに酔いしれました。
一緒に乗っていた方も良い方ばかりで、楽しみました。
また、ハワイに行ったら乗りたいです✨

It was great taking this tour with our toddler. It was my second time to make it to Kaneohe SandBar. My first on Captain's Bobs boat. The Crew was great and even though your sharing the tour with everyone else on the boat It didn't feel cramp at all. It was great to share the experience with other guest.

The food was good too. Most of my friends and I went in for seconds for sure.

The Sandbar experience was great too, even though there were jellyfishes on the water the crew was very good about keeping us informed on where to not go so that we can prevent from getting stung by the jellyfishes.

While we were on the tour it rained but that's Hawaii for you. If anything it made the experience that much better:)

I reserved a ticket because it was highly recommended in Sho Aikawa's book, and I thought, really?? But just as my brother said, it was great!! As soon as I entered the store, a lively Elvis greeted us with a pose. The high level of Elvis's singing, MJ's dancing, the beautiful and fun hula, the impressive fire dance, and the excitement when Elvis came down to the audience to drape leis and scarves over us created a fantastic atmosphere; the hour flew by. Just as Sho Aikawa wrote, I enjoyed a wonderful show. I will definitely go again when I come back to Hawaii!

哀川翔さんの本で、熱く推薦されていたので、ほんと？？と思いながら予約しましたが、兄貴のいうとおり、よかった！！です。お店にはいるや、ギンギンのエルビスがポーズを決めてお出迎え。エルビスの歌唱力の高さ、MJのダンス、フラの美しく楽しい事、ファイアダンスの見事なこと、また、エルビスが客席に降りてきてレイやスカーフをかけてくれるサービスには歓声があがって、大盛り上がり、1時間はあっという間でした。哀川翔さんの書いている通り、素敵なショーを楽しませていただきました。またハワイに来たら行きます！

It was a windy day, so the boat rocked more than I expected, and I almost got seasick. But the sunset and the night view of Waikiki Beach from the sea were so beautiful that I was glad I joined this tour!

風が強い日だったので、思った以上に船が揺れてもう少しで酔ってしまいそうでした。
でも夕日と、海から見たワイキキビーチの夜景がとてもきれいでこのツアーに参加してよかったと思いました！

When I went (at the end of October), the day before had rain, so the water quality was a bit murky, and the water level was below waist height, which wasn't the best situation. However, this is just a matter of luck, so I would like to try again. The crew was wonderful and made me feel that way. My 0-year-old (11-month-old) son also seemed to really enjoy himself, even just at the sandbar!

私が行った時(10月終わり)は前日が雨で水質が少々濁り、水位も腰より下ら辺で、本来のベストな状況ではありませんでした。しかしこればかりは時の運ですので、またチャレンジしたいと思います。そう思わせてくれるような素敵なクルーでした。0歳(11ヶ月)の息子もサンドバーだけでしたがとっても楽しんでくれている様子でした♪

The catamaran is so clean and has a bar onboard. The staff is amazing and everyone made us feel comfortable and ready for snorkling.

I was totally surprised to see that there were so many! Although it's early in the morning, the saying "the early bird catches the worm" is definitely true! It's absolutely worth going! This experience can't be had in Japan!

まさかあんないるなんて‼︎っていう感じでした‼︎
朝は早いけど、リアルガチで早起きは三文の徳‼︎
行く価値ありまくり‼︎この体験は日本じゃ出来ませんね‼︎

We participated in the VIP+ Backstage Tour. There were only the two of us on this course! It was a fun and unique experience that gave us a sense of superiority. The delicious cocktails and lobster were amazing! The main dishes—steak, salmon, and truffle potatoes—were all delicious! Unfortunately, since we are not from the Elvis generation, there were many photos of Michael Jackson instead. We enjoyed it from the front row, center seats. The Hawaiian female singer, female dancers, and male dancers were impressive! The dining staff also engaged with us. It felt great. The first photo taken with Elvis was included (which costs 2500 yen if you don't participate in the backstage tour), so it was definitely worth the price.

VIP+バックステージツアーに参加。このコース参加は我々夫婦二人だけ！未体験の初体験で優越感もあって楽しかったです。美味しいカクテル、ロブスター美味しい！メインのステーキ、サーモン、トリュフポテト、全部美味しい！残念ながら、エルビス世代ではないので、やっぱり、マイケル・ジャクソンの写真撮影多数。一番前の中央かぶりつきシートで堪能しました。ハワイアンも女性シンガー、女性ダンサー、男性ダンサー、迫力有り！食事のスタッフも声をかけてくれます。いい感じです。最初にエルビスと撮った写真が含まれていて（バックツアー参加してないと2500円）、価格的には充分な価値有ります。

This was a last minute decision for my mom and I after previous plans were cancelled. I am so excited that we choose the Manu Kai Catamaran Waikiki Boat Tour. It was amazing!!! Even though we were running behind schedule, we called and let them know, and they waited for us. The service crew was top notch. We only drank water, but they kept checking to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The water was rough which actually added to the experience. We were able to sit down front and enjoy the waves without having to get in the water. I can't wait to take my husband back on this trip because my mom and I had such a great time. You can't lose by choosing the Manu Kai team!!!

It seemed that 90% of the passengers were American. I think it would be better to display the drink menu as well. I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't experience any at all, and it was great to go quite far offshore and see a different side of Hawaii.

乗船者の9割がアメリカ人と思われた。ドリンクもメニューを掲示するとかした方が良いと思う。心配していた船酔いは全くなく、結構沖合いまで行けて違った面のハワイを見れて良かった。

I participated with my mother.
The reception counter was a bit hard to find, and we were slightly late, but the staff welcomed us warmly.
The captain and the bartender were both very cheerful, and when we went to take photos, they let us hold the ship's wheel and even took pictures of that moment!
On the day of our cruise, it was windy and cloudy, but the sea breeze felt amazing, unlike anything I had experienced before, and the night view of Waikiki Beach from the sea was beautiful!
The special Mai Tai was very delicious, and the champagne was also great, so they even accommodated us with a Mai Tai and champagne mix, which made both my mother and me very satisfied!
I would like to participate in this tour again on my next trip to Hawaii!

母と2人での参加でした。
受付カウンターがわかりにくく、少し遅れてしまったのですがスタッフの方も快く迎えてくださいました。
船長さんもバーテンの方もとても愉快な方で、写真を撮りに行ったときに船の舵を握らせてくれてその場面の撮影までしてくれました！
乗船日は風が強く曇ってはいたのですが、今までに感じたことのない海の風がとても気持ちよくまた、海からみるワイキキビーチの夜景がとてもきれいでした！
特製のマイタイもとてもおいしく、シャンパンもおいしかったのでマイタイ×シャンパンにも対応していただき、母も私も大満足でした！
また次回のハワイの時もこのツアーに参加したいと思っています！

We went with seven people from three generations. I thought the person taking care of many tours at the meeting point, Hilton Hawaiian Village, was from Hilton, but it turned out to be a Japanese guide from Kualoa Ranch. They were very polite and made a good impression. The explanations at Kualoa Ranch were clear and concise, focusing only on the important points without unnecessary details.

We experienced three types of activities and a lunch course. Since my grandchild is small, we chose the Taste of Kualoa Tour, the Movie Site Tour, and the Ocean Voyage Tour.

On the Taste of Kualoa Tour, we were able to see and taste various tropical fruits. I had seen breadfruit many times, but it was my first time trying it as chips. They were deep-fried and seemed to have no seasoning, but they were very delicious.

The Movie Site Tour mainly focused on locations from Jurassic Park, and it was fun to watch Jurassic World on the plane back and see familiar scenes.

When my grandchild gets a bit older, I look forward to trying the horseback riding tour and the jungle expedition. I also want to enjoy the ATV tour.

三世代7人で行ってきました。集合場所のヒルトン・ハワイアンビレッジで多くの方のツアーの面倒を見ていた方はヒルトンの人だと思っていたのですが、クアロア牧場の日本人ガイドさんでした。皆さんに丁寧に対応しており好感が持てました。クアロア牧場での説明も余計なことは言わず、大事な事だけを簡潔に説明していたのでわかりやすかったです。
アクティビティ3種類とランチのコースを体験しました。
孫が小さいのでテイストオブクアロアツアー、映画ロケ地ツアー、オーシャンボヤジツアーです。
テイストオブクアロアツアーでは南国の色々な果物の見学と試食ができました。パンの実は何度も見たことがありますが、チップスを食べたのは初めてでした。素揚げで味は付けてないようですが非常に美味しかったです。
映画ロケ地ツアーではジュラシックパークのロケ地がメインでしたが、帰りの飛行機の中でジュラシックワールドを見て、見覚えのある場面が出てきて楽しかったです。
孫がもう少し大きくなったら乗馬ツアー、ジャングルエクシペディション。ATVツアーも楽しみたいと思っています。

The tour was amazing, scenic and very informative. Our tour guide, Ryan was very friendly and considerate and we enjoyed the tour a lot. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

I had my first overseas trip and my first surfing experience. The instructor was kind, and even as a beginner, I was able to ride the waves decently within an hour! If I go on my next trip to Hawaii, I would like to request Hands Heideman!

初の海外旅行、初のサーフィン体験をしました。インストラクターの方も優しく、初めての私でも1時間でそこそこ乗れる？所までなりました！ 次回のハワイ旅行に行くなら、ハンズ・ヒーデマンでお願いしたいです！

I had heard from the guide that it might take some time to see wildlife, but we spotted dolphins right after departing from the port. We got ready for snorkeling and entered the water, where we were able to see dolphins swimming quite close to us. Additionally, at the snorkeling point, we also saw sea turtles swimming relatively nearby. It was a lucky tour, and I was very satisfied.

野生のものを見に行くので、すぐに見れるか分からないをガイドさんから聞いていたが、港から出港してすぐイルカを発見。シュノーケルの準備して海へ入って、結構近くをイルカが泳ぐのを見ることが出来た。
また、シュノーケリングポイントでは、ウミガメが割と近くで泳いでる姿も見れた。
ラッキーなツアーで満足。

It feels really nice, like flying through a canyon. You can take aerial photos as long as you secure your camera with a strap so it doesn't fall. I recorded a video.

It can be tough when it rains, but that's also a part of the memories. So it's a good idea to prepare for rain and insect bites to feel more at ease.

渓谷の中を飛んでいるような気分でとても気持ちいいです。
カメラもOKなのでストラップなどで落とさなければ空中写真も撮れたりします。
私はビデオを回しました。

雨が降ると厳しいですが、それもまた思い出ですね。なので雨対策と虫さされ対策はしておいたら安心ですね。

We went to the sandbar on a clear day. During this season, the water level was up to our waists, so we couldn't walk on the sand like you see on TV. However, we had a great time snorkeling with colorful fish and sea turtles.

Lunch was a buffet with surprisingly delicious meat, salads, and fruits. The staff were very friendly, encouraging us to have seconds and even taking photos for us, making it a really enjoyable tour. The group photo turned out great and will be a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

I would love to join again during low tide.

快晴の中サンドバーへ。この時期は水位が腰位まであり、テレビで見るような砂の上を歩くことはできませんでした。その分シュノーケルではカラフルな魚やウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことが出来、大いに盛り上がりました。
ランチはビュッフェでお肉やサラダ、フルーツなど思いの外美味しく、スタッフもお代わりを勧めてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれたりととてもフレンドリーで楽しいツアーでした。集合写真もとても良く撮れていて良い記念になります、有難うございました。
干潮の時にまた参加したいです。

It was a very enjoyable tour!

The sandbar was a bit different from what I imagined, with the water coming up to my waist, but it was incredibly beautiful and moving. The staff suggested practicing snorkeling, so I practiced diving with goggles. I had never swum in the ocean before and wasn't confident, so I was glad I practiced.

I was worried about snorkeling since I couldn't touch the bottom, but they provided life jackets and fins, so it was fine! I was thrilled to see colorful fish and coral reefs.

The day I participated was cloudy and sunny, so when I got out of the water, it was surprisingly cold on the boat, and it actually rained a bit, making me shiver for real. The air conditioning on the bus was also strong, so those who are sensitive to the cold should be careful!

The hamburger for lunch was delicious too! The staff were very kind and lively, making it a fun and safe experience. I'm really glad I participated! I would love to go again on a sunny day.

とても楽しいツアーでした！

サンドバーは想像していたのとちょっと違って腰のあたりまで水がきていましたが、とっても綺麗で感動しました。シュノーケリングの練習をしとくといいよ、とスタッフの方が言ってたのでゴーグルをつけてもぐる練習をしました。海で泳いだことがなくて自信がなかったので、練習しておいてよかったです。

シュノーケリングをする時は足もつかないので心配でしたが、ライフジャケットもフィンも貸してもらえるので大丈夫でした！カラフルな魚やサンゴ礁が見れて感激でした。


参加した日は曇ったり晴れたりだったので、海から上がると船の上は意外と寒く、途中ザッと雨も降って冗談ではなく本当に震えました。。バスの中も冷房がきいているので、冷え性の方は要注意です！

ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです！
スタッフの皆さんもとっても優しくノリノリで、楽しく安心に過ごせました。参加して本当によかったです！また晴れた日に行ってみたいです。

On October 7th, my wife and I participated during our honeymoon. The location is inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, right in the heart of Waikiki, which allowed us to enjoy it leisurely after shopping. After checking in, we entered through the VIP entrance and enjoyed a welcome drink and dinner! The food was very good, and there were Japanese staff members, which made us feel at ease! The show featured traditional Hawaiian hula dancing and even an appearance by MJ, which captivated the audience. It was a very exciting and enjoyable time! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate!

10月7日、新婚旅行中に妻と参加させてもらいました。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にあり、ワイキキの中心部ということで買い物終わりにゆっくりと楽しむことができました。
受付を済ませてVIP専用入口から入り、ウエルカムドリンク、夕食を楽しみました！味もとてもよかったうえ、日本人のスタッフもいますので、安心できました！！
ショーは、ハワイの伝統のフラダンスあり、ＭＪ？笑の登場もあり、観客を魅了するショーとなっており、とても盛り上がり、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！！
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいと思います！

Due to the unfortunate bad weather and temperature, we couldn't see the beautiful sandbar. There's nothing we can do about that. The staff's response was good, so I can recommend it. I was able to swim close to a large sea turtle while snorkeling.

あいにくの悪天候と気温のため、キレイなサンドバーは見れませんでした。
こればかりは、仕方がありません。
スタッフのかたの対応はよかったので、オススメはできます。
シュノーケルでは大きな海がめの近くで泳げました。

I ended up going towards the Sheraton Hotel near Waikiki to get to the meeting point, which made me a bit flustered, but I managed to arrive on time. I enjoyed the night view of Waikiki while sipping on Mai Tais and soft drinks, and then there were the fireworks from Hilton. It was a time to forget about everyday life! It was a bit disappointing that it started to drizzle after the fireworks. The atmosphere around me was lively, with many foreigners engaging in conversation. I don't know why, but it was fun!

乗り場に行くのにシェラトンホテルのワイキキ寄りに行ってしまい慌ててしまいましたが無事に集合時間に間に合いました。マイタイやソフトドリンクを飲みながらワイキキの夜景を鑑賞、そしてヒルトンの花火。日常を忘れる時間でした！花火後、雨がパラパラと降ってきたのが残念だったかな。周りの雰囲気は外国の方が多く話が盛り上がっていました。なんかわからないけど楽しかったです。

My first skydiving experience. I came to Hawaii last year, but I couldn't do it due to scheduling conflicts, so I was determined to make a comeback this time. However, the weather was unfortunately rainy... I was really anxious, thinking I might not be able to do it, but after waiting for about an hour, we suddenly took off when the sky cleared a bit!

The instructor and the cameraman were both really funny. We boarded the Cessna and headed up into the sky!! Before takeoff, I was so excited that I couldn't contain myself, but gradually I started to feel anxious... (after all, I have a fear of heights... but I love roller coasters!). When the door of the Cessna opened, there was no time to hesitate, and we jumped right into the open sky!!! I was the first one to jump, but others said, "Seeing someone fall from the plane is an indescribable feeling." Once we were flying, it was just pure fun. The moment we landed, I thought, "I want to jump again!" I intended to buy either a photo or a video as a keepsake, but both turned out so great that I ended up purchasing both! (It's definitely better to have the cameraman take the video). I want to jump again the next time I come to Hawaii!

初めてのスカイダイビング。昨年もハワイに来ましたが、予定が合わず出来なかったので絶対リベンジしたいと思っていました。しかし、天気はあいにくの雨…もしかしたら出来ないかも…とても不安でしたが1時間ほど待って、少し晴れたところでいきなり出発！
インストラクターさんもカメラマンさんとても面白い方でした。セスナ機に乗っていざ上空へ！！出発前までは楽しみすぎて楽しみすぎてしょうがなかった気持ちが、段々不安に…笑(なんせ、高所恐怖症なもので…でもジェットコースターとかは大好きです！)セスナ機の扉が開いたら、待ったと言う暇もないまま即大空へ！！！私は1番最初だったのですが、他の方は「人が落ちていく姿見るのはなんとも言えない気持ちだった」と仰ってました…笑。飛んでしまえば、ほんとに楽しいの一言でした。着地した瞬間、もう1回飛びたい！と思うほどでした。記念にと写真かビデオを買うつもりにしていましたが、どちらも撮ってくれていたので確認すると、どちらも良すぎて両方購入しました！(ビデオは絶対カメラマンさんに撮ってもらう方がいいです)また次、ハワイに来た時は飛びたいと思います！

What a fabulous way to begin a vacation in Oahu! The Captain and Tour Director we’re knowledgeable, generous and entertaining. They made the first day of our vacation even more special than my husband and I imagined! Thank you!!

The weather was cloudy, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset I was looking forward to, but the Mai Tai Catamaran was really great. I could see Diamond Head beautifully, and the staff created a wonderful atmosphere. I was alone, but I had a lot of fun. As it got dark, the night view of Waikiki was beautiful.

天気が、曇りだったので、楽しみにしてぃたサンセットは綺麗に見れず、残念でしたが、マイタイカタマラン号は凄く良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドが綺麗に見れたし、スタッフの方も雰囲気を盛り上げてくださり、私は1人でしたが、とても楽しめました。暗くなって、ワイキキの夜景が綺麗でした。

❤️たくさんのイルカがみれました！一緒に行った子供達も大興奮です
ガイドさん達もとても優しく、楽しい方達でした！╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
船の上でのフラダンスショーもあり、ステキな旅の1ページになりました

This tour was completely satisfying. The hotel pickup, guidance at the harbor, explanations on the boat, and guidance at the sandbar were all excellent, including the explanation about the filming locations of Jurassic World during our return! Everything was satisfying. The weather, with rain and sunshine, allowed us to see a beautiful rainbow clearly from start to finish!
The date of the visit was October 11, 2018.
I took photos of a newlywed couple, but since I don't have their address, I couldn't send them, so I'm uploading the photos here.
If you're seeing this, I hope it's helpful!

このツアーは全てが満足でした。ホテルのピックアップ、ハーバーでの誘導、船上での説明、サンドバーでの誘導などなど、帰港中にジュラシックワールドのロケ地だった説明！全てが満足でした。天候も雨が降ったり晴れたりしたお陰でスタートからエンドまではっきり見える綺麗な虹を見ることができました！
現地月日は2018年10月11日です。
新婚さんの写真を撮ってあげたのですが、アドレスもわからないので送ってあげる事が出来なかったのでここに写真をアップします。
見ておられたらご参考に❗️

when we arrived there was a traditional Hawaiian dance to greet us. we then went into the venue for appetizers, which were well presented and very tasty. when we went into the main stage area we could not believe the position of our seat. right in front of the stage. the meal was exquisite and all 4 courses were cooked to perfection. when the show started the production was amazing. it was choreographed like a Broadway show. the Elvis impersonator sounded great and really looked the part. When he went through the crowd during "Suspicious Minds" he kept laughing between lyrics, just like Elvis did in his live performances. a simple touch but excellent attention to detail. We also had a Michael Jackson performer who was also very good and entertaining. His 'Moon Walk' routine was spot on.

Overall it was an exceptional evening out that beat all our expectations

Even the regular seating had great views so it doesn't matter which meal plan you book, just book it you will not be disappointed !!!
