All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The shuttle arrived on time, and although the staff were not Japanese, they explained things in broken Japanese, which was fine!
It was refreshing to head out to sea by boat.
We flew with three people, and although I thought it might be scary because it was higher than I imagined, it was quiet up there with hardly any turbulence, allowing us to enjoy the scenery. My 7-year-old daughter was also excited!
We were able to take photos ourselves and took many pictures.
It was a great experience!

時間通りに送迎車が来ましたし、スタッフは日本人ではありませんが、カタコトながらに日本語でも説明してくれて問題なし！
ボートで沖に向かうのも爽快でした♪
3人で飛びましたが、想像よりも高くて怖いかなと思いきや、上空は静かでほとんど揺れもなく、景色を楽しめました★７歳の娘も興奮でした♪
自分たちで撮影もでき、沢山写真撮りました。
とても良い体験ができました！

The tour itself was very good and interesting, especially if you're a history buff. Only disappointment was we had to pick up 1 tour member at the airport and waited for over a half hour for him and he wasn't even there, he showed up later on. We could have used that extra half hour for site seeing on the USS Missouri or other museums at Pearl Harbor. Guide Jay was knowledgeable and engaging. Overall, a great tour with lots to see!

Everyone has thought about trying it someday... Last year, I climbed a mountain just over 4,000 meters high. So, I thought, why not try jumping from that height next? I chose Hawaii as the place where I could go skydiving. Wow, it was incredible! I want to recommend it to everyone. I thought once wouldn't be enough, so I signed up again two days later, but it rained. I still feel regret about that. Also, that lighthearted atmosphere was a bit much for an older guy like me...

Right before the trip, I found a website that wrote some concerning things about this diving company. I don't know how true it is... When I got to the airport, I realized there were a couple of other companies offering diving as well. I think it's a good idea to get insurance just in case.

I will challenge myself again someday.

誰もが、いつかはやってみたいと思いながら・・・
去年、４千ちょいの山に登った。じぁ次はこの高さから落ちてみようかと、
スカイダイビングの出来る所、で選んだのかハワイでした。
いゃーたまんないねー　みんなに勧めたいねー
一回だけじぁだめだろうと、二日後にも申し込んでいたのだが、雨。
心残りである。
あと、あの軽いノリは、おじさんにはちょっと・・・・・

旅行出発直前、ダイビングのこの会社について、
不安になるようなことを書かれたサイトを見つけた。
真意の程は判らないが・・・・・
空港へ行くと分かるが、
他に２社ほどダイビング行なっている会社があるようです。
まあ保険には、入っておいた方が良いと思います。

いつかまたチャレンジします。

The event was held even in light rain. The April rain was a bit chilly. I experienced the 120m, and it felt great. If it had been sunny, it might have been an even more spectacular view! Maybe I should have gone for the 150m!

小雨でも開催。4月の雨はちょっと寒かったです。120mを体験しました。気持ちよかった。晴れていたら、さらに絶景だったのかな♡150mにしてもよかったかも！

This trip exceeded my expectations. We swam with dolphins several times. One pod consisted of 16 dolphins. And we probably saw 50 green sea turtles. Outstanding! The crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. I was saying good bye to my pictures as my camera sank into the coral below. Then Paul dove at least 25 feet underwater to retrieve it. Who could have expected this amount of attention? . As a bonus, he made his pictures available for everyone on board. Thank you, thank you!

There was a morning call, and there was a guide who spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease. The staff were all fun people, and the dancing was great. It was a wonderful experience. I got to see dolphins and swim with tropical fish. Since it was my first time snorkeling, I think I could have enjoyed it even more if I had been more accustomed to it. To make it a good memory, taking motion sickness medication is essential. There were a few people who got sick and looked like they were struggling.

モーニングコールもあり、日本語の出来るガイドさんもいたので安心♡
スタッフの皆さんも楽しい人たちでダンスもよかった。いい体験になりました。イルカも見れて熱帯魚とも泳げました♡
シュノーケル初体験だったので慣れていればさらに満喫出来たなぁって思います。よい思い出にするために酔い止めは必須。酔った人が何人かいて、しんどそうでしたよ。

Had a good time- definitely recommend. Crew were fun and drinks were good!

I wasn't very good at swimming, but I was able to enter the ocean with a kickboard. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't see the dolphins underwater, but I want to take advantage of the scholarship program to try again. I had a lot of fun playing with sea turtles and tropical fish. The current in the ocean was strong, making it difficult to swim. The wind was also strong and it got cold, so I highly recommend borrowing a wetsuit (it's only $10). You can also buy the photo data for $50, so I recommend seeing and enjoying it with your own eyes.

泳ぎが苦手な私でしたが、ビート板を貸してもらって海に入ることができました。イルカを水中で確認することができなくてちょっと残念でしたが、（いたのに確認できなかったことが残念）奨学金制度を利用してリベンジしたいです。ウミガメやトロピカルフィッシュとはたくさん遊べました。海の流れが速く、泳ぐのが大変。風も強く体も冷えるので参加する人は是非ウエットスーツを借りてください。（10ドルで安いですよ）写真のデーターも50ドルで買えるので、自分の目でしっかり見て楽しむのがお薦めです。

I was forced to go skydiving by my husband, but it was absolutely amazing! ^_^
Before jumping, I was scared and frozen, but once I jumped, it felt incredible to be flying in the sky!
Until the parachute opened, I was struggling to breathe and felt overwhelmed, but the moment the parachute opened, I was able to see the scenery clearly and was moved!
A female instructor jumped with me, so I wasn't spun around and she let me hold the control lines, allowing me to steer right and left. ^ ^
I couldn't speak English well, so I wasn't able to express my thanks or have a good conversation, but I had so much fun!
I want to experience that view and thrill again!

主人に無理やり連れられて来たスカイダイビングでしたが、とっても最高でした！^_^
飛ぶ前までは怖くて固まっていましたが、飛んでしまえばもう空を飛んでいる気分ですごく良かったです！
パラシュートが開くまでは、息がしにくくて余裕がなかったのですが、パラシュートが開いた瞬間から景色がしっかり見れて感動しました！
女性の方が一緒に飛んでくれたので、グルグル回されず、一緒に操作する紐を持たしてくれて、右〜左〜と運転させてくれました^ ^
英語が喋れないのでうまくお礼やお話ができなかったけどとっても楽しかったです！
またあの景色とスリルを味わいにいきたいです！

Many people probably want to try it at least once, right? I was one of them, but I didn't have the opportunity until now, and I finally got to experience it.

While on the shuttle bus, we watched an explanatory video and filled out a questionnaire that was handed to us.

After a little over an hour from Waikiki, we arrived at a small airport. After confirming our identities, we received a brief lecture and met our instructor.

Since it was Golden Week, there were many Japanese people there. My instructor could speak a little Japanese, and I had a lot of fun flying. The only time I felt scared was when the airplane door opened in mid-air; after that, I just went with the flow.

When it was my turn to jump, I felt a moment of "Oh no!" but then I enjoyed the pressure of the wind and the view like never before.

Some instructors seem to spin around after the parachute opens, and my cousin, who jumped with me, felt a bit groggy after landing.

If you can speak English, I think it's better to say in advance, "Please don't spin."

As for clothing, I recommend wearing a long-sleeve shirt since it can be a bit cold up there. Since the wind pressure is strong, it's best to avoid anything that flaps around, like hoodie strings.

There was a food truck available, but we brought rice balls with us. Since the time spent is long, I think it's a good idea to bring some drinks and snacks.

Photo and video services are expensive, but it might be worth signing up since it's a special occasion. They seemed to take pictures together if you were in a group of two or three. I didn't sign up, but someone I got friendly with there did, and they sent me the video later, where I appeared a little, and it became a great memory.

一度は、やってみたいと思ってる人も多いんじゃないでしょうか？
私も その一人でしたが、なかなか機会がなく やっと今回体験することができました。

迎えのバスの中で 説明ビデオを観ながら、渡された質問事項などを書いた紙に記入します。

ワイキキから一時間ちょっとで、小さな飛行場に到着。
現地で本人確認をしてから、簡単なレクチャーを受けて、自分のインストラクターさんと対面。

GWということもあって日本人も多かったです。
私のインストラクターさんは、少し日本語も話せるし、とても楽しく飛ぶことができました。
恐怖を感じたのは、上空で飛行機の扉を開いた時だけで、あとは 野となれ山となれです(;^_^A

自分の飛ぶ順番が来たら、一瞬『あらあらあらぁ～』っとなりますが、すぐに感じた事のない風圧と景色を楽しめます。

インストラクターによっては、パラシュートが開いた後、くるくる回る人もいるようで、一緒に飛んだ従妹は 地上に降りてから、しばらくグロッキーでした。

英語が話せるなら『くるくるは、やめてください』と先に言っといた方がいいと思います。

服装は、上空にいる時 少し寒いのでロンTが、お勧めです。
風圧が すごいので、パーカーの紐など、パタパタする物は避けた方がいいと思います。

食事は、移動販売のバスがありましたが、私たちは おむすびを持って行きました。
時間が 長いので、飲み物や食べ物など少し持参した方がいいと思います。

写真撮影や、ビデオ撮影は高額ですが、せっかくなので申し込んだ方がいいかも知れません。
2人とか3人なら一緒に撮ってくれる感じでした。
私は申し込みませんでしたが、現地で仲良くなった人が申し込んでて、後から動画を送ってくれたんですが、少し写ってて、とてもいい記念になりました。

I took my 3-year-old daughter on our first trip to Hawaii. With a small child, there are limits to what you can do, so I pondered various activities in Hawaii, but this tour was completely suitable for little kids (3 years old) and was incredibly enjoyable!

I checked the tide times for Kaneohe in advance and chose a tour date during the lowest water level of our stay in Hawaii. However, whether the weather would be good was up to luck... We were really fortunate, as it was sunny from the morning, and the water level was just about knee-high, so we had a fantastic time. The staff were very friendly, cheerful, and made the experience fun, and they were very kind to my daughter as well. She looked like she was having a great time, and I was so happy to see that. The buffet on the boat was delicious too!

We also got to see sea turtles, and I was surprised at how close they came to us. While the weather can be a matter of luck, I highly recommend that those who will participate check the tide times in advance before signing up!

３歳の娘を連れて、初めてのハワイ。
小さな子供連れだと出来ることも限られていますので、ハワイでやることを色々と悩みましたが、このツアーは小さな子供（３歳）でも全然ＯＫで、とっても楽しめる内容でした！

事前にカネオヘの満潮と干潮を調べて、ハワイ滞在中で最も水位が低い時間帯のツアーの日程を選びました。
でも、天候が良いかどうかは運次第…。
私達は本当に運が良く、朝から晴れて、水位もくるぶしくらいの高さだったので、本当に楽しめました。
スタッフさんたちもとても気さくで明るく楽しく盛り上げて下さり、娘にもとても優しくしてくれました。
娘も本当に楽しそうにしていて、その姿を見られて嬉しかったです。
ボートでのビュッフェも美味しかったですよ♪

ウミガメにも会うことが出来、しかもとっても近くまで来てくれて驚きました。
天候については運の部分もありますが、これから参加される方にはぜひ満潮と干潮の時間を事前に調べてから申し込むことをオススメします♪

The scenery was very beautiful, and the guide was very helpful, but the snorkeling was quite disappointing. I was aware that the waters in Hawaii are not very clear, but it felt like a complete beginner course. There weren't even fins provided.

景色はとても綺麗だし、ガイドさんもとてもよくしてくれましたが、シュノーケリングだけがとても残念でした。
ハワイの海が綺麗でないことは承知でしたが、
超初心者コースといった感じ。
フィンすらありませんでした。

We participated as a couple in our 50s along with our son. Besides us, there were a family of three and two honeymoon couples. Since it was mentioned in the comments, we decided to challenge the 150m! It was incredibly fun and felt great. We had a wonderful experience. The shuttle car was clean, and our driver, Mr. Yano, was cheerful and entertaining. The boat was also clean, and the crew was lively and made it a fantastic time. Our son and his partner even got playfully splashed, which became a great memory of the trip. We definitely want to participate again! ^ ^

50代夫婦&息子カップルで参加しました。私たちの他には3人連れの親子さん、ハネムーンカップル2組が一緒でした。コメにもあったので、折角なので150mに挑戦！最高に楽しかったです。そして気持ちよかった。良い体験をしました。送迎の車も綺麗で運転手の『やのさん』明るく楽しませてくれました。ボートも綺麗でクルーも明るく盛り上げて下さりステキな時間でした。
息子カップルもワザとお尻をドボンされて、これも旅の良い想い出になったようです。
また是非参加したいです^ ^

There is a shuttle service available, but we went to the North Shore by rental car. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes from the dock. You will enter a cage. You can see sharks while snorkeling inside the cage. There is a water shower available, but the only place to change is the restroom. I changed in the car. I think it's better to bring your own towels from the hotel.

送迎もありますが。私たちはレンタカーでノースショアまでいきました。
船着き場から２０～３０分ほどかかります。ケージの中にはいります。ケージの中でサメをシュノーケルでみます。水のシャワーは使えますが、トイレしか着替えるところはないです。私は車の中で着替えました。ホテルのタオルは持参したほうがいいと思います。

You can trek through a vast ranch on a retired thoroughbred that excelled in polo.

Holding the reins by yourself, you walk through the great outdoors with both uphill and downhill paths, and the view from the horse is truly wonderful! You can enjoy the scenery of Waimea Canyon.
The horses are well-trained and smart, so as long as you don't startle them, you can feel safe.
Although they are older horses retired from competition, their coats are shiny and beautiful.

You can ride for a full hour, so be sure to strengthen your inner thigh muscles! (laughs)

ポロ競技で活躍し今は引退したサラブレッドに乗って、広大な牧場の中をトレッキングできます。

自分一人で手綱を持って、上り坂・下り坂のある大自然の中を歩くのですが、馬上からみる眺めはやはり素敵です！ワイメア渓谷の風景が楽しめます。
馬たちは賢く調教されているので、彼らを驚かさない限りは安心です。
競技から引退した老齢な馬たちですが、毛並みや艶も良く、姿はとても綺麗です。

1時間たっぷり乗馬できるので、足のふともも（内転筋）を鍛えておきましょう！（笑）

I felt a bit anxious because I had to wait a few minutes after checking in. However, the person who assisted me was a foreigner, but very kind and even taught me a little Japanese, so I was able to get on the ride right away! I had plenty of fun by myself!

最初受付をしてから何分か待たされたので少し不安になりました。ですが、教えてくれる方は外国の方ですが、とても優しく少し日本語でも教えてくれて一発目で乗れました！一人で十分楽しめました！

We did the snorkeling tour with Chieko and Dan and it was amazing. Their help and information was appreciated. My boyfriend was terrified of sinking and Dan explained it thoroughly which gave him the confidence he needed to do it. We saw sooo many out of this world fish it was like an acquarium, and even a turtle! We had plenty of time to explore the entire bay and you go plenty deep to see some amazing marine life. It was a once in a lifetime experience so thankyou Blue Hawaii Divers!

The experience was amazing. Definitely I'd recommend this tour!

Amazing perfect couldn't of been better. No volleyball tho :(

Unfortunately, due to the weather, the temperature was lower than expected, and it felt a bit cold on the boat with the wind. A beach towel is a must; I regretted bringing a smaller towel (laughs). The tour staff kept us warm by organizing beach volleyball and encouraging us with their cheers. The hamburgers eaten on the boat were exceptional! I wonder if the title "BBQ" is because they grill the patties and such? Since we had free time in the afternoon, I was able to make the most of the day!

あいにくのお天気のため、気温が予想より低く、船上は風もあり少し寒く感じました。
ビーチタオル必須ですね、小さめのタオルだったのが後悔（笑）
ツアースタッフの皆さんは、暖まれるようにビーチバレーをしてくださったり
声かけで盛り上げてくださいました。
船上で食べるハンバーガーは格別！
タイトルがBBQとなってるのは、パテなどを焼くからなんでしょうかね？
午後からフリーになるので、とても１日を有効に使えました！

Great staff. Knowledgeable pilot. Great background music during the flight :)
The views were great, despite the overcast conditions.
Now I want to go back and dive at all those reefs I saw and hike up to those waterfalls.
I never realized just how small Pearl Harbor was until I saw it from the air with my own eyes.
This is something a visitor should do at least once.
If I did it again, I wouldn’t bother taking my own pictures and videos (they take video for you) and just enjoy the view.

A must-see for anyone visiting the Islands.
Lots of historical exhibits with helpful tour guides.
Lots of information for those not familiar with the events leading up to the attack.
As a history major and WW2 buff, this was a must-see for me, especially as my grandfather was aboard the USS Dobbin that morning.
Don’t forget to check out Ford Island and the airplane exhibits there.
Be sure to bring a few extra bills and leave donations in the boxes aboard the ships and help preserve our history for generations to come.

I’ve been on several shark dives in the past - almost all without cages. This experience was right up there with all the rest.
Without a cage you really get to understand that, unlike Shark Week hype, sharks are not out to get us.
You share the ocean and appreciate them as they go about their own business. We had up to 17 sharks in the vicinity on the my second trip, including Galapagos, Sandbar, and Scalloped Hammerheads. A couple would cruise by closer, but most seemed content to keep their distance.
The team made both dives very informative as well as enjoyable. Their cameraman ensures that you’ll have pictures to share with family and friends. I used my GoPro, but still got the pictures they took as well.
If I’m ever back on Oahu, I’ll book a couple more outings with them.

Overall the whole experience was great. Loved how everyone very involved and interacting with the audience. Loved the setup of how they lead us from one place to the next and drinks were amazing. Also loved how Elvis came to up to my baby. This was definitely my top experience in Hawaii this week. I felt as if I was in a movie because everyone was so friendly and we’re treating us all so nicely. The involvement of the employees from the dinner to the show was amazing on how they were involved The Who way through. I’m happy this was one of the first things we did on our list because it made the trip start of very good.

It was great that the hotel we were staying at was close to the meeting point, so we could go without a shuttle! By the way, it's a hotel within Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it takes less than five minutes to walk there. The instructor spoke broken Japanese, but their friendly personality made it enjoyable! With the early morning plan and discounts available, I think it's quite a good deal since you can make the most of your day.

泊まってるホテルが集合場所に近かったので、送迎なしで行けたのも、良かったです！ちなみにヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内のホテルですが、歩いても5分もかからないです。インストラクターの人もカタコトの日本語ですが、楽しませようとする人柄も良かったです！早朝プランで、割引きも有り、1日をフルに使えるので、かなりお得かと思います。

My first parasailing experience! The staff were locals and explained everything in English, which made me a bit anxious, but they kindly guided us even though we couldn't speak English, so there were no issues! The time spent in the air was longer than I expected and very comfortable! If you have a GoPro or similar device, I highly recommend bringing it! I only had my phone, so I had to leave it behind, but a Japanese couple who participated with us kindly took some photos of me from below with my phone! I have the stunning views etched in my memory, but I do regret not being able to capture the scenery from above in photos!

初のパラセーリング！
スタッフの方は現地の方で説明は全て英語で少し不安もありましたが、英語が話せない私たちにも優しく誘導してくださり問題なかったです！
空にいる時間は思ったよりも長く非常に快適でした！ゴープロなど持ってる方はぜひ持っていった方が良いです！私は携帯のみしかなかったので携帯は置いていくことになり、たまたま一緒に参加した日本人夫婦の方が私の携帯で下からの写真を少し撮って下さいました！
絶景は目に焼き付けましたが、上からの景色を写真におさめたかったなぁとそこだけ後悔です！

I experienced skydiving for the first time in my life! Until the parachute opened, I was struggling to breathe, and the instructor encouraged me to pose, but I ended up with a pretty miserable face and pose. (laughs) After the parachute opened, I was able to leisurely take in the view of the Hawaiian sea, and it felt amazing! The instructor was very enthusiastic, which made it enjoyable!

He couldn't speak Japanese, so he taught me the posture for jumping through atmosphere, body language, and a few Japanese words. (laughs) Also, during the check-in, I had to choose between photos or videos for the diving shoot, but the staff on-site couldn't speak any Japanese and spoke very fast native English, so I had to ask several times to understand. I wished there had been staff who could communicate in Japanese or at least provide Japanese signage. Since it was quite an expense, I wanted to know more details about that.

Additionally, the waiting time was long, which was a bit disappointing, but overall, it became a really great memory. Thank you!

生まれて初めてスカイダイビングを経験しました！
パラシュートを開くまで呼吸がうまくできない中、インストラクターの方がポーズをとるよう促してくれたのですが、もう悲惨な顔とポーズでした。笑
パラシュートを開いてからはのんびりハワイの海などを一望でき、気分は最高でした！インストラクターはノリノリの方だったので、楽しむことができました！
その方は日本語を話せないので、飛ぶ時の姿勢などを雰囲気とボディーランゲージと日本語の単語で教えてもらいました。笑
あと受付時に、ダイビング中の撮影方法として、写真かムービーかを選ぶのですが、スタッフが現地の方で日本語が全く話せず、ネイティブのとても速い英語を話すので、理解出来ず何回か質問しないといけなくて、日本語対応のスタッフ、もしくは日本語表記をするなど、してほしかったかなとも思いました。
金額もある程度したので、そこは細かく知りたかったです。
また、待ち時間が長かったので、ちょっと残念でしたが、総合的にはかなりいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

The tour was better than we had anticipated. We went with a 20 month old toddler, sea was calm.
The bus that picked us from the hotel was clean and the bus ride was relaxing.
The atmosphere was friendly, tour guides were fun and professional. Food was excellent, they catered for my spouse who has special dietary needs.
Overall the experience was amazing and will definitely go back to Sandbar with Captain Bob's sandbar adventure

I participated on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii, and the weather was nice and pleasant. The kids were also happy, so I'm glad I joined.

ハワイ到着初日に参加しましたが、天気もよく気持ちよかった。
子供たちも喜んでいたので、参加してよかったです。

We participated with eight people.
Michael was a bit on the heavier side with a bit of a belly, which disappointed everyone, but Elvis was perfect in both singing and appearance!!!
After the show, he took pictures and signed autographs, and everyone was thrilled.
Definitely give it a try at least once!

８人で参加しました
マイケルはちょっと太めでお腹出てて みんながっかりだったけど
エルビスは歌も容姿もバッチリ！！！
ショー終了後に、写真撮ってくれたりサイン書いてくれたりと喜んでました
是非一度は体験下さい！
