All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I am sensitive to boats, so I took motion sickness medication before boarding, but there was no rocking. The staff took photos and made the experience enjoyable, and it went by in a flash. I really enjoyed the cruise.

船に弱いので、酔い止めの薬を飲んで乗船しましたが、
揺れも無く、スタッフの方々が写真を撮ってくれたり、
盛り上げてくれて楽しくあっという間だったです。
クルーズを満喫させて貰いました。

At first, I was scared of parasailing and hesitated to sign up, but seeing is believing!

最初、パラセーリングが怖くて申し込もうかどうか悩んだ上で参加しましたが、
百聞は一見に如かずです！

The activities were amazing!
The jet ski was thrilling and so much fun!
I gave my all in the following activities too!

アクティビティが最高！
水上バイクがガンガンに飛ばして最高やった！
後のアクティビティも全力でやりきった！

It was truly amazing. We searched for dolphins from the boat, and as soon as we spotted them, we put on our snorkels and dove into the sea! Underwater, there was a large group of dolphins, creating a magical world! After playing a bit with the dolphins, we moved on to the next snorkeling spot… this time, there were three sea turtles! Swimming with the sea turtles was the best moment! Despite a hurricane approaching that day, the visibility was outstanding, and I don't think the conditions could have been better. While the presence of wildlife and sea conditions depend on luck, I feel like we used up all our luck this time because it was just incredible!! In the end, we all did a hula dance together, and it was so much fun! I want to participate again with my family next time.

本当に凄かったです。船上からイルカを探してイルカを発見したらすぐにシュノーケルをつけて海にダイブ！
海の中ではイルカの大群がいて幻想的な世界でした！
イルカの大群の中で少し遊んでからは次のシュノーケルポイントへ…今度はウミガメが3匹も居ました！
ウミガメとも一緒に泳げて最高の一時でした！
当日はハリケーンが来てるという中透明度もバツグンでこれ以上のコンディションは無いのじゃかいかな？というぐらい良かったです。
自然の生き物と海のコンディションは運次第だけど、今回は全ての運を使い果たしたのじゃないかな？というぐらい最高でした！！
最後はフラダンスもみんなでして楽しかったです！
今度は家族と参加したいです。

Mike and his staff we very nice and pleasant to be around as this was mine and my wife's first time snorkeling. The boat ride was comfortable, the sand bar was a fun expreience and was also a nice way to get comfortable using the equipment. Staff was very attentive while we were in the water and made sure everyone was safe. Would recommend this to anyone!

Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, the check-in location was close and easy to find. The reception and the crew on the boat did not understand Japanese at all, but if you know some simple English and words, you'll manage just fine.

I snorkeled freely where there were about 4 to 5 sea turtles. The turtles would come up to the surface to breathe multiple times, so I was able to take pictures up close, which made me very happy. The crew members occasionally checked in with a friendly "Are you okay?" in broken English, which was nice.

The sailing was headed towards Diamond Head, and the waves were really rough, making it feel like an attraction. However, since the waves splashed onto the boat and soaked us completely, I recommend putting important items in waterproof bags.

I went with my family of five adults, and even my mother, who didn't snorkel, was very satisfied with the sailing experience. Additionally, they provided a drink menu in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy my favorite drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean, which made me very happy!

シェラトンワイキキに宿泊していたため、受付場所も近く分かりやすかったです。受付や船の船員さんは日本語が全く通じませんが、簡単な英語と単語が分かれば何とかなります。
シュノーケルは海亀が4〜5匹いるところで自由にシュノーケルしました。海亀は何度も息つぎしに海面に上がってくるので近くで写真を撮ったりもでき、大満足でした◡̈⃝
乗務員のお兄さんたちも時折、片言ですが『だいじょぶ？』と声をかけてくれて、フレンドリーでした。

セーリングはダイヤモンドヘッド方面に向かい波がすごく荒かったので、アトラクション感覚で楽しめました。ただ、波が船の上に上がってきて、全身濡れるので、大事なものは防水の袋などにいれて持って行った方がいいと思います。

成人してる家族５人で行きましたが、シュノーケルしない母もセーリングが楽しかったと大満足でした。またドリンクメニューは日本語の紙を渡してくれたので、好きなお酒を飲みながら綺麗な海も見れて大満足でした！

It was our last day in Hawai’i. This hike was the best way to end our 7 day vacation! It was a great bonding time for me and my son! I have a chronic illness so for us to do this hike together is something that we will cherish forever. Walking, talking, and exploring this rainforest was a big hit. Thank you for offering this. Our young man that picked us up was great and helpful!

I participated in the morning shuttle. The tour company staff were friendly and kind to the children, and my 7-year-old daughter enjoyed the view from 150 meters. I was worried about the kids getting seasick, but there were no problems. After the parasailing, the speed of the boat on the way back to the port was exhilarating, almost like a different activity. We were able to return to the hotel before 9 AM, so we had plenty of time to play for the rest of the day. It was a great experience.

I appreciated the suggestion to book a different time slot to minimize waiting time at the ranch. The shuttle service with the large bus was comfortable.

However, the procedures upon arrival were somewhat unclear, so it would be helpful if the steps were written on the voucher in advance. I didn't know that helmets were required because they weren't shown in the photos, so I bought a hat the day before, but I would have liked to know beforehand.

It would also be beneficial to have clear information about paid lockers and photography guidelines provided in advance rather than on the day of the activity.

As for the activity itself, we only watched a short video before riding, and then we were quickly on the horses. During the ride, there were two instructors for six participants, but they mostly left us to our own devices (laughs). While it's nice to have freedom, some people might feel anxious about it.

Naturally, each horse has a different personality; there were calm horses, some that only wanted to eat grass and wouldn't listen, and others that were playful with the other horses, which was amusing. The horse I rode seemed to be a bit of a troublemaker, as the instructor frequently came over to praise it. It was curious about the other horses and occasionally sped up, but I held the reins firmly, so it was fine. By the way, there was someone who completely let their horse do whatever it wanted, and that horse was just eating grass (laughs).

The horseback riding lasted a solid two hours, allowing us to enjoy the stunning scenery! We rode towards the mountains while looking at the sea. There were ups and downs, making it quite a workout just to sit on the horse. The views were truly magnificent! If you're going because of the Jurassic Park movie, I recommend reviewing it again right before your visit for even more enjoyment.

We were able to start riding about 20 minutes after arriving and boarded the bus about 30 minutes after finishing, so we had almost no waiting time on-site, resulting in zero stress. However, if things don't go smoothly, there can be a three-hour wait at the ranch, so I recommend confirming this when making your reservation.

By the way, the waiting area is in the restaurant inside the souvenir shop, and waiting for an hour seemed tough for us. The food didn't seem promising either, so if needed, I recommend bringing light snacks like bread.

予約時に牧場での待機時間が少ない時間になるように別の時間帯での予約の提案があり、助かりました。
大型バスでの送迎で快適でした。
現地到着後の手順が若干曖昧で事前に手順をバウチャーに書いていただけると助かります。
写真ではヘルメット着用していなく、着用することを知らなかったため、前日に帽子を買いましたが、事前に知りたかったです。
有料ロッカーの案内や写真撮影などに対する注意・案内が当日ではなく事前に分かりやすくあると助かります。
アクティビティ自体は、乗馬前に簡単なビデオを見るだけで、すぐに乗馬。乗馬中もインストラクター（決まったフレーズのみ日本語で話せます。こちらからの質問はあまりコミュニケーション取れないと思った方がよいです。）が体験者6名に対し、2名いましたが、ほぼ放置プレイでした（笑）
自由でいいですが、不安に思う人もいるかもしれないです。
当たり前ですが、馬によって性格が違い、おとなしい馬、草ばかり食べて言うことを聞かない馬、他の馬にちょっかいを出す馬がいて面白かったです。私が乗った馬はインストラクターが頻繁にいい子にするように声をかけにくるちょっとした問題児のようで、他の馬が気になったり、急に早足になったりしましたが、しっかり手綱を持っていたので大丈夫でした。ちなみにまったく指示を出さず、完全になめられている人もいて、その馬は草ばかり食べていました（笑）
乗馬はしっかり2時間で素晴らしい景色の中で堪能できます！海を見ながら山の中に向かいます。アップダウンもあり、乗っているだけで結構な運動量になります。景色が本当に素晴らしかったです！ジュラシックパークの映画がきっかけで行くのであれば、もう一度直前におさらいしてかは行くとより楽しめるかと。

私達は到着後20分位で乗馬、終了後も30分位でバス乗車出来たので、現地での待機時間もほぼなくストレスゼロでしたが、うまくいかないと3時間の牧場待機時間があるそうです。予約時に確認することをおすすめします。
ちなみに待機場所はお土産屋さん内のレストランとなり、1時間待機も私達にはきつそうです。食事にも期待は出来ない感じでしたので、必要であればパン等の軽食持参をおすすめします。

A wonderful way to experience the diversity of the island. There were frequent stops with ample time to enjoy the site and/or walk the trails. Many foods to sample along the way and delicious lunch! Awana was an informed and entertaining guide who was flexible throughout the day to make sure we could get the best experience.

I attended with my son and his wife. We completed the check-in on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center and waited in front of the buffet venue. Until the venue guidance began, we had to wait on the 4th floor at our leisure, so arriving earlier than the designated time doesn't mean you can enter sooner. The buffet was plentiful, featuring a whole roasted pig and roast beef, and it was delicious. After the buffet, we moved to the show venue. Since entry was based on the order of the line, the earlier you lined up, the sooner you could enter. My husband, a fan of Elvis Presley, was looking forward to this show, so we lined up early. The show started with the history of Hawaii and, as the title suggests, was a fusion of hula and rock? There were impersonators who moved around the venue, shaking hands and giving out scarves, creating a lively atmosphere just like a real show. It was fun with hula, impersonators, and fire dancing. After the show, there was also a photo opportunity with the impersonators.

息子夫婦と一緒に参加しました。
ロイヤルハワイアンセンター４Fで受付を済ませブッフェ会場前で待機。
会場案内が始まるまでは思い思いに4Fフロアで待つことになるので、指定時間より早く行っても早く入れるわけではありません。
ブッフェは豚の丸焼きやローストビーフ等充実していて美味しかったです。
ブッフェが終わるとショーの会場へ移動。こちらは並び順なので早く並べば早く会場に入れます。私達はプレスリーファンの夫がこのショーを楽しみにしていたので早めに並びました。
ショーはハワイの歴史から始まり、題名の通りフラとロックの融合？プレスリーは本物のショーのように、そっくりさんが会場を回り握手をしたり、マフラーをプレゼントしたりと会場は大盛り上がりでした。
フラあり、そっくりさんあり、ファイヤーダンスありで楽しかったです。
ショー終了後はそっくりさんとの写真撮影タイムもありました。

In the morning, a dedicated bus came to pick us up near the hotel. From there, we traveled by boat to the location where the dolphins were. During the first two attempts, we couldn't see any dolphins, and I was worried about whether we would get to see them, but we were able to see them swimming underwater!

Due to lack of sleep and fatigue, along with the low water temperature, I ended up feeling seasick towards the end, but I’m glad I had this valuable experience.

I think it would be better to prepare some motion sickness medication if possible.

朝は専用バスがホテル近くまで迎えに来てくれました。
そこから船でイルカのいる場所まで移動。最初の二回はイルカは見えず、会えるかどうか不安でしたが無事に水中を泳ぐ姿が見れました！

寝不足と疲労、それから水温が低かった為に最後の方は船酔いしてしまいましたが、貴重な体験ができて良かったです。

酔い止めは出来れば用意した方が良いと思います。

The tour staff were very kind and had great energy! Since a Japanese person was guiding us, I felt very reassured participating! I heard that if you're lucky, you can swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, that didn't happen for me, which was disappointing. I want to try again next time!! The hamburgers at lunch were also great because they grilled the patties right there, giving it a BBQ feel, and I was very satisfied!

ツアースタッフの方々がとても親切でノリがいい！日本人の方がガイドしてくれたのでとても安心して参加できました！運が良ければウミガメと泳ぐこともできるとのことだったのですが、それは叶わなかったのが残念です。次はリベンジしたい！！昼のハンバーガーもその場でパテを焼いてくれるのでBBQ感覚も味わえてとても満足！

We used this for our honeymoon trip.
This was our first time experiencing the cast show.
Although most of the staff and cast members didn't speak much Japanese, the check-in and dining processes went very smoothly, and we had a wonderful time.
The facility was very clean and stylish. Especially in the waiting hall when we entered as VIPs, we were served very cute snacks, which made my wife very happy.
The show itself featured famous impersonations that even people in their 20s like us know, and it was so diverse that we were completely absorbed, with no time to catch our breath.

I definitely want to use this again on our next trip to Hawaii.

新婚旅行にて利用させて頂きました。
今回初めて、キャストショーを利用させて頂きました。
スタッフの方キャストの方殆ど日本語はあまり話せない様でしたが、受付や食事等とてもスムーズに進み大変楽しいひと時を味わえました。
施設内はとても清潔でおしゃれな空間でした。特にVIPで入場した際の待合のホールではとても可愛らしいおつまみを提供して頂き妻も満足しておりました。
ショー自身は20代の私達でも知っている有名な人のものまねショーとなど客席をMAXまで使用したショーなど多彩で息をつく暇も無いほどに見入ってしまうほどでした。

又、次回ハワイへ旅行の際は利用したいと思った一つでした。

Highlight of our holiday, friendly & experienced crew, I liked the crew member being in the water & keeping the group together...it felt safe, plus the turtles were amazing!!

Wonderful dinner and show impersonators spot on and interactive with audience fire show was a wow factor dancers and singers wonderful excitement, something that my wife and I would do again.

We had Awesome time Snorkeling. The fish were beautiful and very colorful. Dan was very patient with me. He is a great instructor. Hawaii was absolutely Gorgeous!

We joined this tour because we wanted to participate as a group of three, including one child. Besides us, there were groups of a family of three and two siblings, and everyone was able to ride with their desired number of people. The altitude increased quickly from the start, but I didn't feel any fear; I just felt joy and comfort. Before we boarded, they asked if we wanted photos taken, and when I requested it, they took some fun pictures for us. I would love to participate again.

子供1人含む3人で参加したかったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
我々以外には3人の家族や2人の兄弟？で参加されている組がいましたが、それぞれ希望の人数で乗れていました。
開始からすぐに高度が上がりましたが、特に恐怖感はなく、ただただ楽しさ、気持ち良さを感じました。乗る前に撮影して欲しいかを聞かれたのでお願いしたら面白い感じで写真を撮ってくれましたよ。また参加したいです。

The course in the mountains after the rain was a bit muddy, which made me a little anxious, but the horse walked very well. There were times when I slipped, but the horse maintained its balance, so it wasn't a problem. I think the course on a sunny day would also be nice, but the course after the rain was thrilling and fun. The boss doesn't speak Japanese, but the guide provides a thorough explanation before riding, and there are illustrated signs, so there's no need to worry.

雨が降った後の山のコースだったため、足元がぬかるみ少し不安でしたが、馬が上手に歩いてくれました。時々滑りましたが、馬が上手にバランスをとってくれるので問題ありませんでした。晴天のときのコースも良いと思いますが、雨が降った後のコースもスリリングで楽しかったです。ボスは日本語を話しませんが、乗馬前にガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくれるし、イラストで説明された説明版があるので心配いりません。

The beginning snorkel was perfect for our family! We saw so many fish a sea turtle! We would do this again for sure. Our guides were attentive and made sure we we safe and not missing a thing. This was perfec for us since we were all 1st time snorkelers.

We can’t wait for the next time.

We experienced it together as a group of three. It was very smooth, and we were extremely satisfied! I was a bit scared before jumping, but once I floated up, it felt great the whole time. Occasionally, when a strong wind blew, it swayed, which added to the thrill. I didn't purchase the photos, but it became a wonderful memory. I want to do it again!

３人で一緒に経験しました。とてもスムーズで、大満足です！とぶ前は少し怖かったのですが、ふわっと飛んだらあとはずっと気持ち良かったです＼(^o^)／時々強い風が吹くと揺れて、それもまた良いスリル感でした。
写真は購入しなかったのですが、とても良い思い出になりました☆またやりたいです！

I participated in the 11:00 departure plan. Previously, I joined an early morning departure plan where there were many dolphins, but this time I felt there were fewer and more scattered.

Also, I participated with my 10-year-old and 7-year-old children. To see the dolphins, it's quite important to jump into the sea from the boat quickly, but since I had to take care of the kids, I didn't have much time to look under the water. In the end, I only saw the shadows of dolphins a little way off.

The Japanese female guide and the crew on the boat were all fun people, so I was very satisfied with that.

If I were to make a recommendation, it would be: 1) Participate in the earliest tour possible, and 2) Join with adults or older children only.

If you want to show small children the dolphins, I think a dolphin watching tour from the boat without snorkeling would be more enjoyable than a plan that includes snorkeling.

11:00出航プランに参加しました。以前は早朝出航のプランに参加し、イルカがたくさんいましたが、今回はまばらで数が少なかった気がします。

また、今回１０歳と７歳の子供連れで参加しました。イルカを見るためには、スピード勝負で、船から真っ先に海に飛びこむことが結構大切ですが、子供のケアをしなければならないので、海の下を覗いている余裕があまりありませんでした。結局、少しだけ遠くにイルカの魚影が影のように見えただけでした。

ガイドしてくれた日本人の女性や、船のクルーはみんな楽しい人たちばかりなので、そこは非常に満足しています。

おすすめするとすれば、①極力朝一のツアーに参加すること、②大人または大きな子供だけで参加すること、です。

もし、小さな子供にイルカを見せてあげたい！という方は、イルカとシュノーケリングするプランではなく、シュノーケリングはせずに、船の上からイルカウォッチングするツアーの方が、楽しめると思います。

It was an excellent experience! The staff were outstanding and fun

We had always wanted to visit the Sandbar and snorkel in the Kaneohe area. Captain Bob's made it enjoyable . The crew was pleasant and the food was great. It was a relaxed atmosphere (meaning, not too regulated) so we could pretty much do whatever we wanted. There were lots of turtles and fish. The only drawback was that it was more crowded than I'd imagined it would be. Maybe it would be less busy when the keikis go back to school.

I experienced seasickness, and both my mother and son vomited. We were apologized to, but we were called names like "Vomit Family" and "Yellow Family," which made us feel very uncomfortable. In the end, we were also forced to give a tip. It was the worst experience.

I hope that in the future, the captain and guides will not be involved in the tourism industry to prevent such incidents. The term "yellow" is something that cannot be overlooked.

船酔いし、母親の私と息子が嘔吐しました。それに対して謝罪しました。ですが、ゲロファミリーやイエローファミリー等と散々言われ、とても嫌な思いをしました。最後にチップも強制されました。最悪でした。

今後このようなことが起きないよう、船長やガイドが観光業に関わらないよう願います。
イエローという言葉はとても看過できるものではありません。

I signed up for this tour thinking it would be an easy activity for my first time in Hawaii. I initially thought we would just be sitting on the boat, but after a while, once the captain introduced himself and the crew, we were able to go out on deck and enjoy the view of the ocean.

The narration was in English, and there were newlyweds, families, and solo travelers, but everyone was very friendly and cheerful.

We were able to see dolphins and sea turtles, and my whole family was extremely satisfied, wanting to repeat the experience the next day. I would like to use this service again on another occasion.

初ハワイで何か手軽なアクティビティーをと思い、このツアーに申し込みました。普通に船に座って乗っているだけかと思いきや、船が出てからしばらくして船長さん達の紹介を終えると甲板に出て海を眺めることが出来ました。

進行は英語で、海外の新婚さんや家族連れ、おひとり様の方もいましたが、とても和気藹々としていました。

イルカやウミガメにも会うことができ、家族みんな大満足で翌日またリピートしたいと思うほどでした。
またの機会にも利用したいとおもいます。

We arrived at the sandbar just before noon under cloudy skies, and it was a bit chilly with the wind. At the sandbar, we practiced snorkeling in the shallowest area, which was about knee-deep for adults, as my first-grade grandson was trying it for the first time. After that, we enjoyed watching tropical fish and sea turtles in deeper waters. It was quite a good tour.

曇り空の中、昼前にサンドバーに着いたが、風もあり、肌寒かった。サンドバーでは、一番浅い場所で、大人の膝下位で、初めてのシュノーケリングに1年生の孫が、挑戦するため、練習しました。その後、深い場所で、熱帯魚や海亀を見て楽しみました。なかなか、良いツアーでした。

The ride was good. None of us have ever ridden a horse on the beach, so it was a new experience. I haven't spent more than 20 minutes on a horse before this, more than a decade ago, so it was almost all new to me. We liked how the leader stopped us on the beach and took nice photos of us to remember the ride. The reason I didn't give a perfect score was that I think the leader of the ride needed to be more aware of the riding skill of the people she was leading and give advice on how to improve instead of just telling us what not to do.

Last year, my parents had a great time on their trip to Hawaii, which is why we made this reservation. It was my mother's second time, and it was my first time parasailing, but thanks to the friendly staff, we enjoyed a fun flight. On the day of our flight, there was only one other couple besides us, so it wasn't busy, which was nice. The weather was clear, and perhaps because there was a little wind, we experienced some turbulence in the air. My mother seemed to get a bit seasick, but after a while, she settled down. I felt like the view from above was completely different from what you see from the ground. After we landed, we paid $30 to receive an SD card with the photos. All the pictures captured natural expressions, and they made for a wonderful keepsake. I would love to experience this again next time.

昨年、両親がハワイに旅行に行った際に楽しかったからと言う理由で今回予約をしました。母は２回目、私はパラセイリング初めてでしたがフレンドリーなスタッフさん達のおかげで楽しいフライトを楽しめました。当日は私たちの他に１組のカップルだけだったので、忙しくなく良かったと思います。またお天気も快晴で少し風が吹いていたからかもしれないが、上空で揺れました。母は少し酔ってしまったようですが、少し経過して落ち着いたようです。地上から見るのと上空から見るのでは、また違った景色を見ているように感じました。到着後、＄３０を支払写真のSDカードをもらいました。どれも自然な表情の写真ばかりで、とても良い記念になりました。また次回も体験してみたいと思いました。

It was disappointing that the sandbar was underwater. The water clarity was also not great. Our Japanese guide, Yuki, was cheerful and very pleasant. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and even the kids enjoyed them.

サンドバーが海の中だったのは、残念でした。
海の中も透明度は、イマイチでした。
日本人ガイドのユキさん、明るくて感じがとても良かったです。
ランチのハンバーガーは、子供も美味しいとたへ゛ていました。
