All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

This tour is more of a picnic on a boat off the coast of Oahu rather than a dolphin-watching tour, so in that sense, it offers entertainment and could be enjoyable for those who are not used to being on the water. If you go in with the mindset that seeing dolphins would be a lucky bonus, you won't be disappointed. It was completely different from the dolphin tours on the Big Island. The staff followed the company's concept of providing entertainment, but at times their individuality came through, which I found a bit immature.

イルカを見るツアーというよりはオアフ島沖を船でピクニックするツアーで、そういう意味ではエンターテイメントもあり海に慣れていない人にとっては楽しいのではないでしょうか。
イルカは見れたらラッキーくらいのつもりでないとがっかりします。
ハワイ島のイルカツアーとは全く別物でした。
スタッフは楽しませようという会社のコンセプトにのっとってそれなりに業務されていましたが所々に個が出ていて幼稚だなぁと思いました。

Kualoa Ranch is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views of the mountains and ocean - a must see/visit. The zip line tour simply put was incredible but the icing on the cake, what made it is the employees and guides. We had Emily, David and Malotai as our guides and they were the best - I don’t recall the bus drivers name but she was awesome as well. Mahalo for a great time!

Our first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon! As a memory, we challenged ourselves to a 150-meter jump. With excitement and nervousness, when we finally jumped, I was surprised by the height! But the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head illuminated by the sunset was incredibly beautiful, and I still remember it! I definitely want to do it again when I go back to Hawaii!

ハネムーンでの初ハワイ！記念にと150メートルに挑戦しました。ワクワク、ドキドキしながらいざ飛ぶとあまりの高さにびっくり！でも夕日に照らされたワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドはすごく綺麗で今でも思い出します！また是非ハワイに行ったらやりたいです！

During the approximately 60 seconds of free fall, I was able to stay calm, and during the following roughly 5 minutes of parachute flight, I enjoyed the scenery with ease! I didn't feel nauseous or have to clear my ears, and I realized I was able to skydive more calmly than I had expected. The scariest part was when I was signing the contract.

60秒程度のフリーフォール中に気持ちが冷静になり、その後約5分間のパラシュート飛行では余裕をもって景色を楽しむことができました！
気持ち悪くなることも、耳抜きすることもなく、思っていたよりも冷静にスカイダイビングができたなと思いました。
一番怖かったのは契約書を書いている時でした。

It was the best time ever.
I couldn't become a bird, but the weather was great, and I had an amazing experience.
I want to dive again!

最高に楽しかったです。
鳥にはなれなかったけど天気もよく、最高の経験が出来ました。
また、ダイブしたい！

I made a reservation to board the cruise in time for the Hilton fireworks. The meeting point is at the beach at the end of the path lined with surfboards, located between the Halekulani and the Sheraton. Most of the participants were foreigners, but there was no problem joining even if you can't speak English. Once we set sail, they started serving drinks, including Mai Tais. There is a bartender in the middle of the boat, so you can go there to get your drinks. Although it's an all-you-can-drink option, you need to actively go and ask for more, as they won't come to you.

The Hilton fireworks aren't as impressive compared to Japanese fireworks, but the night cruise with the sea breeze was quite pleasant.

ヒルトンの花火に合わせて予約して乗船しました。集合場所は、ハレクラニとシェラトンの間にある、サーフィンボードがたくさん並べてある通路の突き当たりのビーチ。外人さんが8割方でしたが、英語が喋れなくても参加に問題はありません。出航すると、マイタイを始めドリンクを配り始めてくれます。基本的には船の真ん中にバーテンダーがいますのでそこに取りに行ってうけとります。飲み放題とはありますが、自分からどんどんもらいに行かないと、向こうからはきいてくれないです。
ヒルトンの花火、日本の花火と比べたら、大したことはありませんが、潮風を受けながらのナイトクルーズ、結構気持ち良かったです。

The waves were high, so we couldn't see the sea turtles, but the weather was great, and the horses were very smart, making for a fun horseback riding experience!

Since I brought my camera, I was able to take wonderful photos with pineapples and the sky at Dole. I think it's one of the best spots to utilize your camera! Additionally, the guide provided us with little tidbits of information and insights into Hawaiian history, as well as future information about Hawaii, which was very helpful. There was so much information that you wouldn't find in a guidebook, and the local guide was, above all, the best guidebook!

波が高く海亀はみることが出来ませんでしまが、お天気恵まれ、馬もとても利口で楽しく乗馬ができました！

シータを持っていっていたので、Doleではパイナップルと空とで素敵な写真が撮影できました。
シータを活用できる場所としてはベストスポットではないかと思います！
また、ガイドさんのプチ情報やハワイの歴史がきけたり、今後のハワイの情報などがとてもありがたかったです。ガイドブックにはない情報が満載で現地ガイドさんがなによりもベストガイドブックでした！！

I was really excited to see several sea turtles during the sea turtle watching until we reached the sandbar, but the sandbar was deeper than I expected, so I couldn't sit down to take photos. (I had to give up on sitting my child down with the beautiful scenery in the background...) I think it's better to check the tide schedule in advance. However, both the sea and the sandbar were very beautiful, and I was satisfied!! Please be careful after coming out of the water, as it can get cold.

砂洲に着くまでの海亀ウォッチでは何匹も見れて中々興奮しましたが､砂洲が思っていたよりも深く座って写真撮影はできませんでした。(子供を座らして絶景をバックに…は断念しました)
事前に潮の満ち引きを調べて行った方がいいと思います。
でも海も砂洲もとても綺麗で満足しました！！
海からあがった後は寒いので気をつけて下さい。

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed a wonderful sunset while having a good time with wine and beer. I prefer this type of boat over large cruise ships. Whenever I visit Hawaii, I always join a tour that includes a ride on a catamaran. The special feeling that you can't experience every day is the best. I highly recommend it to everyone.

天気に恵まれ素敵な夕日を見ながら、ワインとビールで楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました。私は大型クルーズ船より今回のような船の方が好きです。ハワイに訪れると必ずカタマラン船に乗船するツアーに参加します。普段味わえない特別感が最高。皆さんにもお薦めです。

The weather was a bit cloudy, but the sandbar was still very beautiful. It was fun to see several sea turtles. It was disappointing that I could hardly see any fish while snorkeling, possibly because it was after the hurricane.

天気は少し曇りでしたが、それでもサンドバーはとてもキレイでした。
ウミガメも何頭も見れて楽しかったです。
ハリケーン後だったからかシュノーケルでお魚が殆ど見れなかったのが残念でした。

On the last day, I experienced it, and I was moved by the view of Hawaii from the sky. The staff's service and the scenery were all excellent! I will definitely use it again next time!

最終日に体験したのですが、空から見るハワイに感動でした。スタッフの対応や、景色などどれをとっても◉！
次回も是非使わせて頂きます！

The number of participants exceeded 40, which caused delays in various activities. With so many people in front, even if dolphins are nearby, only those at the front can see them. Getting on and off the boat also takes time. The staff are cheerful and entertaining, but... I have participated in marine activities in various countries, and this is the first time I've encountered such a large number of participants. I believe that unless the number of participants is reduced to less than half, I won't be satisfied.

参加人数が40名を超えていて、色々な事に時間がかかります。
人が前に沢山居るので、イルカが近くにいても前の方を泳いでいる人にしかイルカが見えないことも。
船の乗り降りにも時間がかかります。
スタッフの皆さんは明るくて楽しませてくれますが、、、
色々な国で海のアクティビティに参加していますが、こんなに参加人数が多いのは初めて。
参加人数を半数以下にしなければ満足出来ないと思います。

While it is certainly fun, there is also a sense of fear. However, I believe it is an enjoyable and satisfying activity as long as you are not afraid of heights!

楽しいながらにも勿論怖さはあるのですが、高所恐怖症でなければ楽しめて満足できるアクティビティだと思います！

We participated with my 6-year-old son, making it a group of three. It was amazing to experience parasailing together, and we were truly impressed by the beautiful scenery of Waikiki! The guide took photos for us, and we purchased them on an SD card. It was $30 for cash and $35 with a credit card, including fees. Since we were by the ocean, I thought it would be better not to carry much cash, so I ended up participating without any cash and purchased with a credit card... Well, it's fine, but I wish I had been informed about this in advance!

６才の息子を含めた3人で参加しました。3人同時にパラセーリング体験できとてもキレイなワイキキの景色に感動しました！
ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれSDカードで購入しましたが、キャッシュだと30ドルクレジットカードだと手数料込みで35ドル。海になのであまりキャッシュ持ち歩かない方がいいかと思い現金もたずに参加してしまいクレジットで購入…
まぁいいのですが、事前に教えて貰えたらよかったな〜と思いました！

We participated as a group of six. There was a 5-year-old child with us, and it seemed like they had a great time, making it the best memory in Hawaii. We appreciated the flexibility in accommodating changes in the number of participants on the day. The photo service (for a fee) was also very good.

6人グループで参加しました。5歳の子供もいましたがとても楽しかったようで、ハワイで一番の思い出となったようです。当日の人数変更にも対応していただき助かりました。
写真サービス(有料)もとても良かったです。

I participated in the tour starting at 12:00. The snorkeling lasted about an hour, followed by approximately an hour of cruising before returning. When I joined, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming.

It was great to experience something out of the ordinary while snorkeling slowly in deeper waters and swimming alongside the fish and sea turtles. The water was clearer than I expected, making it enjoyable to swim. For Japanese speakers, a simple one-page notice with precautions was provided.

12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケリングは大体1時間程度で行われました。そのあと1時間程度クルージングをして戻る流れです。
私が参加した時はタイミングよくウミガメが泳いでいるのがみれました。

深めのところをゆっくりシュノーケリングで、さかななウミガメをみながら泳ぐことで非日常を感じることができてよかったです。
また思っていたよりも海の透明度も高く泳いでいて楽しかったです。
日本人対応だと、注意事項など簡単な1枚の注意書きが書いてある紙が渡されました。

Don't waste your money on a guided, "skip the line" tour. This ticket is all you need to see everything at Pearl Harbor. You will need to get your own transportation to/from Pearl Harbor but there are options, TheBus.org, The Waikiki Trolley, Uber/Lyft, etc.

We arrived around 8:00 AM on a Saturday and walked right up to the ticket counter to get our ticket and then again right up to the USS Arizona Memorial ticket counter to get this ticket. NO waiting, NO line, NO worry of not getting in on one of the 1300 free USS Arizona Memorial tickets.

The audio tours of the USS Arizona Memorial (note due to maintenance issues we could not get off at the USS Arizona Memorial but we still took the boat tour around it) & the USS Bowfin were great and allow you to go at your own pace. We took the guided tour of the USS Missouri and then you have time at the end to wonder around below deck on your own. There was one additional stop included but we chose not to get off there. This gives you complete flexibility of how to spend your day at Pearl Harbor.

There are a few food options. We chose the food truck at the USS Missouri. It was very good.

This is a Must Do for any American! Very educational and sobering.

Snorkeling in the middle of the ocean, just a short cruise from Waikiki Beach... I was thrilled to see large sea turtles and fish swimming right beside me. On the way back, we cruised a bit offshore, cutting through the wind. It was a wonderful activity that allowed me to fully enjoy the ocean.

ワイキキビーチから　少しクルーズした海の真ん中で　シュノーケリング・・・すぐそばで　大きなウミガメや　魚たちが泳いでいて　大感激でした。帰りは　風を切って少し沖までクルージングです。海を思う存分堪能できる　素晴らしいアクティビティーでした。

Above all, the sea was incredibly beautiful. Luckily, I was able to see couple of sea turtles and manta rays, which was amazing! If I could wish for something, since I went with children, I was walking behind everyone in the snorkeling preparation, and I got pushed back by someone who started snorkeling a bit earlier, so I didn't have enough time to enjoy snorkeling slowly. I would have liked to cut down a bit more time relaxing at the sandbar and had a few more minutes to snorkel. The time was too short, and my child was only able to practice floating. The Japanese guide, the boat captain, and all the staff were very kind, and I was able to enjoy the tour!

何より海がとってもきれいでした。運良くカップルのウミガメやマンタも見ることができ最高でした！欲をいえば、子連れで行ったのでシュノーケリングの準備にてまどりツアーのみんなの後ろを歩いていたからか、一足先にシュノーケリングを始めた人に押し戻されて、ゆっくりシュノーケリングをする時間がなかったです。
サンドバーでゆっくりする時間はもう少し削って、あと数分でも長くシュノーケリングしたかったです。時間が短すぎてこどもは浮く練習をするだけでいっぱいいっぱいでした。日本語のガイドさんや船のキャプテン、スタッフのみなさんはみな優しく、楽しくツアーに参加できました！

I participated with my mother, and we had a thorough lecture on how to snorkel, which made it enjoyable! We encountered many small fish up close, and they were so beautiful. It would have been even better if we had met a turtle too!

母親と参加しましたが、シュノーケリングのhow to もしっかりレクチャーあって楽しめました！
間近で沢山の小魚に出会いとってもキレイだった。あとタートルと出会えてたらもっと最高だったなー

You can encounter dolphins and sea turtles. It's truly moving to see them up close. Be sure to bring an underwater camera. If you ask the guide, they can help you get nice shots of the dolphins and sea turtles. Also, for those who are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication to prevent it. Feeling unwell can really diminish the enjoyment!

イルカやウミガメに出会えます。近距離で見えると感動します。ぜひ水中カメラを用意していきましょう。ガイドさんにお願いすれば、イルカやウミガメをナイスショットしてもらえます。あと船に酔いやすい方は、酔い止めなど飲んで船酔い対策して行く方が良いと思います。気持ち悪くなると楽しみも半減しますので！

I participated in this tour without hesitation because it offered a luau show at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, which is close to the hotel and right in the heart of Waikiki.

First, we were guided to the dining area on the terrace. The staff entertained everyone with songs and dances even before the meal started. At the end, they got everyone involved in a hula experience, which was a lot of fun. The buffet-style meal was all very delicious, and I had to be careful not to overeat.

After the meal, we were taken to the theater. Our seats were in the front row of the second floor, which I thought was a nice perk of this tour. On the first floor, the people enjoying their luxurious meals had not finished yet. I was glad to have my meal in the open-air terrace seating, which had a very relaxed atmosphere. Being on the second floor also allowed me to see the entire stage clearly.

The show began, and the dancers were singing and dancing energetically. The stage setup and production were very eye-catching. I was surprised when a dancer descended from the ceiling.

Both the hula and the songs were very captivating. The rock and roll songs and dances were great too. The Elvis Presley impersonator sounded just like him, and the excitement reached its peak when he walked around the venue, shaking hands and hugging people. After that, when Michael Jackson appeared, my husband and I were very satisfied with the nostalgic songs. He was a bit on the heavier side, but his singing and dancing were very similar.

The final fire dance was the highlight for me. It might have been the best Polynesian dance I've ever seen.

Before I knew it, we reached the finale. It was a very luxurious moment to experience both the hula and rock and roll show. I would love to participate again.

This is a highly recommended show that is worth seeing at least once.

　ホテルからも近くワイキキの中心にあるロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンターでルアウショーが観れるということで、迷わずこのツアーに参加しました。
　始めにテラスにある食事会場に案内されました。案内してくれたスタッフが食事の前から、歌や踊り踊りでみんなを楽しませてくれます。最後には、会場のみんなを巻き込んでのフラ体験で盛り上げてくれました。ブッフェ形式の食事は、どれもたいへん美味しく、食べ過ぎてしまわないように気をつけて食べました。
　食事が終わって、シアターに案内されました。座席は、２階の最前列でした。これもこのツアーの特典なのかなと思いました。１階では、豪華な食事をしている人たちの食事がまだ終わっていませんでした。私は、オープンエアのテラス席で開放的な雰囲気で食事ができてよかったと思いました。また、２階席だったので、ステージ全体が見渡せたのでよかったです。
　ショーが始まりました。ダンサーが所狭しと踊ったり歌ったりしていました。舞台装置、演出とても目を引かれました。途中でダンサーが天井からぶらさっがってきたのにはビックリでした。
　フラも歌もとても見どころがありとても引き付けられました。ロックンロールの歌や踊りもよかったです。
　エルビスプレスリーの歌声もそっくりでたいへん盛り上がりました。プレスリーが会場の中を回って握手やハグをして盛り上がりは最高潮でした。その後のマイケルジャクソンの登場で私たち夫婦も懐かしい歌に大満足でした。ちょっと太めのマイケルでしたが、歌や踊りはとても似ていました。
　最後のファイヤーダンスは、私としては一番でした。今まで見たポリネシアンダンスの中でも一番かも。
　あっという間にフィナーレを迎えました。フラとロックンロールショーの両方が見ることができたいへん贅沢なひと時でした。また参加したいツアーでした。
　一度は、見る価値のあるお勧めのショーです。

The guide was cheerful, and the tour started with a fun atmosphere. The trail was about a 30-minute walk, but I felt very rejuvenated in nature. For lunch, we had an organic meal at a lovely café. I heard that they specially prepare vegan lunch boxes for this tour company. Everything was enjoyable, and the hours flew by. Next time, I definitely want to join another tour with this company.

ガイドさんが明るくて、楽しい雰囲気でツアースタート。片道30分くらいのトレイルでしたが自然の中でとても癒されました。お昼は素敵なカフェでオーガニックランチ。こちらの催行会社のツアー用に特別に用意しているビーガンランチボックスだそうです。全てが楽しくあっという間の数時間でした。次回はこちらの会社の他のツアーにもぜひ参加してみたいです。

I was so happy to feel like I was watching the real thing, as Michael's performance even included detailed recreations of the MC! Overall, the quality was high, and there were funny moments along with great song selections, making it a show that people of all ages can enjoy!

マイケルのパフォーマンスでは、MCまで細かく再現されてたので本物を見ているかのような気持ちになれて嬉しかったです！
全体的にクオリティーが高く、笑える部分が含まれていたり選曲も良かったので幅広い年齢層が楽しめるショーだと感じました！

The sandbar has beautiful water, and snorkeling was a lot of fun as I could see many fish! The staff were kind and took photos for us, and they were also fun people who really livened up the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance due to bad timing, so I gave it four stars, but I was very satisfied with the tour content! There were others who participated with me who saw manta rays and sea turtles while snorkeling, so if you're lucky, you might see them too! ^_^

サンドバーは水面が綺麗で、シュノーケリングはたくさんの魚を見ることができ、とても楽しかったです！スタッフの方も写真を撮ってくださり親切で、また、場を盛り上げてくれる楽しい方々でした。
タイミングが悪く、ウミガメは遠目からしか見ることができなかったため、星4つとさせてもらいましたが、ツアー内容は大変満足いくものでした！一緒に参加された方で、シュノーケリングの時に、マンタとウミガメを見れた！という方もいらっしゃったので、運が良いと見れるかもしれません^_^

The sea of Lanikai, also known as the "Heavenly Sea," was incredibly beautiful. The emerald green areas turn into sandbars during low tide, revealing sandy beaches if the timing is right. If you want to see the beach, you need to check the low tide schedule and join a tour accordingly.
After playing at the sandbar, I had a hamburger on the boat. They grilled it right there, and it was very delicious! ✨
During snorkeling, we were given bread to feed the fish, and many colorful fish gathered around, which was a lot of fun! ♪
The tour guides were also great at keeping the energy up, making it an extremely enjoyable day!!!

天国の海とも称されるラニカイの海が最高に綺麗でしたエメラルドグリーンの部分がサンドバーで浅瀬になっており、干潮のタイミングが良ければ砂浜が出るようです。もし砂浜の状態を見たいのであれば干潮の時間を調べてそれに合わせてツアーに参加する必要があります。
サンドバーで遊んだ後は、船の上でハンバーガーを食べました。その場で焼いてくれていて、とても美味しかったです✨
シュノーケリングでは餌(食パン)をもらって魚にあげてみると、鮮やかな魚たちがたくさん集まってきて楽しかったです♪
ツアーガイドのみなさんも盛り上げるのが上手で非常に楽しい1日になりました！！！

This time, I participated with my daughter. Unfortunately, the sandbar was submerged due to high tide, so there was no beach, but we participated in beach volleyball and had a lot of fun.
The sea turtle watching was amazing; we saw many turtles!
I thought there would be more fish while snorkeling, but I didn't see that many, so that was a bit disappointing. It was probably because the spot I was looking at wasn't very good.
The lunch was delicious as well.
Next time, I would love to join again to see the sandbar during low tide. I look forward to it. Thank you for this time!

今回、娘と2人で参加させて頂きました。サンドバーは満潮にあたり残念ながら砂浜はなく、でも、その中でのビーチバレーに参加し、とても楽しかったです。
ウミガメウォッチングは沢山の亀が見られて最高)^o^(
シュノーケルはもっとお魚が沢山いるかと思ったのですがそれほど見られなくて残念、きっと私が見ていた場所が良くなかったのでしょうね。
ランチも美味しかったです。
是非、今度は干潮の時にサンドバーを見に参加させて頂きます。その時はよろしくお願いします。
そして今回はありがとうございました。

I was on a cruise with American families who had just gotten engaged. Everyone was excited with Mai Tais, but we opted for pineapple juice to avoid seasickness. The cruise was longer than expected, and there were quite a few waves offshore. In the end, we didn't get sick and were satisfied to see the sunset.

プロポーズを受けたばかりのアメリカ人ファミリーたちと一緒のクルーズでした。みんなマイタイで盛り上がっていて、私達は船酔いしたら困るのでパイナップルジュースにしました。思ったより長めのクルーズで、沖は波が結構あります。結果酔うこともなく、夕陽も見れて満足のクルーズでした。

What a true Hawaiian experience. Not to be missed.

We participated as a family! It was very fun!
Since it’s not a large cruise ship, it sways and you might get splashed in some areas. However, that actually made it more enjoyable (^ ^)♩
There were restrooms on the boat, which was reassuring.
When boarding the boat, you walk along the beach, so I think flip-flops and shorts are a good idea.
There were also people boarding in their swimsuits.

家族で参加しました！とても面白かったです！
大きな客船ではないので、揺れて場所によっては波がかかります。けれど、それが逆に楽しかったです(^ ^)♩
船には御手洗いもあったので、安心でした。
船に乗る際、ビーチを歩きますので、ビーチサンダルに短パンがいいと思います。
水着のまま乗船されている方もいました。
