All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

A wonderful experience. Relaxed atmosphere and pleasant guides. We had already encountered sharks while snorkeling in the Maldives, but they were much smaller. These were fascinating.

I was picked up near the hotel and went to Haleiwa Town on the North Shore via Dole Plantation. The guide's stories were very enjoyable! I learned a lot about Hawaii's history. They also informed us about the location of the restrooms in advance, showing great attention to detail. On the way back, we left early due to Hawaii's traffic issues, but we were taken back to the hotel, making it a fulfilling day. For those who are not confident in driving or who plan to drink alcohol, there is a shuttle service, and with more free time, everyone can enjoy their time as they wish. I highly recommend this tour! I would like to use it again!

ホテル近くまでピックアップしてもらい、ドールプランテーションを経由して、ノースショアのハレイワタウンに行きました。ガイドさんのお話もとても楽しかったです！ハワイの歴史、勉強になりました。トイレの場所などあらかじめ教えていただき気配りが行き届いていました。帰りはハワイの車の渋滞問題があると言う事で早めに帰路につきましたが、ホテルまで送っていただき充実の１日でした。車の運転は自信ないなーという方やアルコール飲まれる方は送迎あり、運転もしてもらえて自由時間多めなので各自思い思いの時間が過ごせるおすすめのツアーです。
又利用したいです！

It was thrilling and the best experience. I didn't expect it to be this much fun before participating. I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii.

スリルがあって最高でした
参加前はこんなに楽しいとは思っていませんでした
またハワイに行ったら必ずまた参加します

The pickup on the way there was a bit scary due to the high speed. This was my third time, and I was satisfied with both the dinner and the show. As for the return bus, where would they drop us off? It was quite disappointing for the price, especially with no explanation provided.

行きの送迎は、猛スピードで少し怖かった。
今回3回目でしたが、ディナーもショーも満足でした。
帰りのバスは、何処で降ろしてくれるのか？
何の説明も無く金額の割にはお粗末でした。

There were only two participants, but everything was carried out properly. The driver was Japanese and very nice. I was very grateful for the detailed and careful explanation of Hawaii's history and information. Thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy Haleiwa Town and was very satisfied.

2人だけの参加でしたが、ちゃんと施行してくださいました。
ドライバーの方は日本人で、とても良い方でした。
ハワイの歴史や情報を、丁寧に詳しく語って頂いたので、大変有り難かったです。
お陰様で、ハレイワタウンを満喫できて、大満足です。

This was my second dive. Diving from that height is addictive. I didn't feel scared at all, so it was just fun, and the instructor was cheerful, creating a great sense of camaraderie. I thought I wanted to be someone who could speak more English.

Photos and videos are sent to your smartphone 20 minutes after the dive, so you can see them right away. There's also a Japanese staff member at the reception, which is reassuring.

2回目のダイブでした。あの高さからのダイブは病みつきになります。自分は怖さを感じないのでとにかく楽しく、インストラクターの方も陽気で一体感を味わえます。英語がもっと喋れるやつになりたいと思いました。
写真、動画も飛んで20分後にはスマホへファイルが送られてすぐ見れます。受付にも1人日本人スタッフがいるので安心。

I had Giovanni's garlic shrimp. It was exquisite. However, I don't think I needed five hours for the sightseeing in the area... Three hours would have been sufficient.

ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプをいただきました。絶品でした。
ただ、街並み観光を含め5時間は必要なかったかな…
3時間あればじゅうぶんでした…

18 of our group of 24 went on this excursion. A few things- SAM was absolutely fantastic! So much knowledge- loved it! The fruit stand was awesome, the macadamia nuts stop was great, we were able to get great souvenirs at the best prices, treats, coffee- delish, bathrooms were clean and staff provided an excellent experience. We did the Waterfalls (definitely recommend) in the morning and had lunch at the cafe/bar there. Everything we ordered was delicious and the drinks were amazing. Then we did kayaking, SUP and some exploring aka shopping and tastes of local foods, LOL. So glad to have taken this excursion. Sam even had ice in the cooler.

If you're having doubts, I definitely think you should go for it. While saving money is important, I've come to realize that having unforgettable experiences is even more important.

迷いがあるなら絶対にやった方がいいと思います。
お金を貯めるのも大事だが、忘れられない経験をすることのほうが大事だと気付かされました。

The guide who came to pick us up was the worst. The explanations on-site were insufficient, and when I was getting the tickets, my smartphone hanging around my neck was yanked, and I almost fell. The guidance for the return trip was also inadequate, leaving me worried about whether I could get back to the hotel.

迎えにきたガイドさんが最低でした。
現地での説明が不十分でチケットをもらう時も首にかけていたスマホを引っ張られて転びそうでした。
帰りの案内も不十分でホテルに帰れるか不安でした。

The day was a little wet from the morning rain, but it did not prevent us from having a fun day ATVing at North Shore Stables. Just prepare yourself to get dirty!!
We caravaned on the farm our guides took us along the coast but mostly through the farmstead. We stopped and met their farmers (cows) and their goats. Very delighted to find out that this company is doing what they can for the environment and turning much of their dollars to restoration! Kudos to NSS and thank you for a very fun time!!

The North Shore was amazing, and as expected for a championship event, the huge waves were impressive. I even encountered a sea turtle while paddleboarding. It was a great tour.

初ノースショア、さすがチャンピオン大会が開催されるだけありもの凄い大波に感動。SUP中にウミガメにも遭遇。良いツアーでした。

When we left Waikiki, I was a bit anxious because of the thunderstorm and thought we might not be able to ride, but the weather was perfect when it was our turn! The horse was not as skittish as a thoroughbred and was gentle and well-behaved! Although it wasn't very tall, its body was thicker than a thoroughbred's, which made me feel even more like I was abroad! Since I had only experienced British horses, everything felt fresh and new! The instructor was cheerful, kind, beautiful, and really wonderful! The guide was Japanese, very knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly, which made me feel very secure and it was a lot of fun!

If there is enough demand, I would love to see something like "Let's run horses on the beach! (with a pre-lesson)"

Thank you very much!

ワイキキを出発したときは雷雨で乗れないかも…と少し不安でしたが、私たちが乗るとき天気にも恵まれ最高でした！
サラブレッドよりも怖がりでなく温厚で良い子でした！体高はあまり高くないものの馬体(胴回り)がサラブレッドより太く、脚で挟みきれない感じがより海外に来てる感があって良かったです！
ブリティッシュしか経験がなかったのもあって色々と新鮮でした！
インストラクターの方も明るくて親切で美人でとても素敵でした✨
ガイドさんは日本人でとても知識が豊富で説明も分かりやすくとても安心&楽しかったです♪

一定の需要があればですが、「海岸で馬を走らせてみよう！(事前レッスン着き)」みたいのがあれば嬉しいです

どうもありがとうございました！

Overall, excellent experience. The show was awesome showing the traditional style of dances and performances of the Hawaiian culture. The buffet itself had many selections to choose and eat. The most highlight of the show was the HA breath of life where it was the fire rings twisted by several different men on the show which was pretty cool. We also did the islands of Polynesia 2 hour guided tour where we sat down and peeled bananas and coconut looking like materials with the dressed up villagers on site.

The guide spoke Japanese, but the horseback riding instructor hardly understood it.
Tips are necessary, so you need to prepare cash.
However, the experience was all great!

ガイドさんは日本語が通じますが乗馬インストラクターはほぼ日本語通じませんでした。
チップが必要であり現金を用意しておく必要かあります。
しかしながら体験は全て良かったです！

There was a shuttle service to Hilton Hawaiian Village, so no worries about getting there. The driver was funny and had high energy even in the early morning!
It was the rainy season, so there was heavy rain at the location.
However, they explored possibilities until the last minute, provided explanations along the way, and even though we waited for a few hours, we got to eat.
We upgraded to a photo package on-site. In the end, it turned out well.
Although it says English is essential, there were many Japanese guests at the reservation, so there were Japanese staff members, making check-in smooth. The instructor was really nice (and handsome!), and even though my conversation skills were just a bit better than what I learned in school, it was no problem.
The experience of seeing a rainbow below you is precious! When I was parachuting down, they asked if I was scared, and when I said I wasn't, they did a lot of spins, allowing me to enjoy the view!
I got a little dizzy, though (^_^;)
For those who are hesitant, I recommend making a reservation! It will change your world!

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまで送迎あったので、現地まで心配なし。運転手さんも面白くて早朝からテンション高かったです！
雨季だったから現地で大雨。
でもギリギリまで可能性を探ってくれて、途中説明もちゃんとあって、数時間待ちましたが食べました。
現地で写真付きにグレードアップ。結果的に良かった。
英語必須とありますが、予約に日本人が多かったからか日本人スタッフもいてくれてスムースにチェックイン。インストラクターも凄くいい人で（イケメンだった！）、私は学校で習った英語に毛が生えたくらいの会話力でしたが問題なしでした。
虹が眼下にみれる経験は貴重！パラシュートで降りてる時、怖いか聞かれたので怖くないと言ったらいっぱい旋回してくれて景色を楽しめました！
ちょっと酔いましたが(^_^;)
迷ってる人は予約してみては？世界変わりますよ！

When it comes to horseback riding in Hawaii, I thought there was only Kualoa Ranch, but I was surprised to find out you can ride along the North Shore coast!! (Even my local friends didn't know about it.) It was definitely refreshing!! I have experience riding both domestically and internationally, but it's totally fine for first-timers as well. However, if you go on a tour, the time for exploring the North Shore town will be a bit short, which is a little disappointing.

ハワイで乗馬といえば、クアロア・ランチしかないと思っていましたが、ノースの海岸沿いで乗馬できるとは！！（現地の友人も知りませんでした。）
やっぱり爽快です！！　
乗馬は国内外で何度か経験はありましたが、初めての方でも全然大丈夫ですよ。　ツアーの場合はノースの街の散策の時間は短くなるのでその辺はちょっと残念かも。

The buffet had a variety of options, and the show was really wonderful! The kids were also very happy. If it weren't for the unnecessary comments from the male driver who picked us up, it would have been perfect. It was none of his business, and his attitude was too rude.

ブッフェも色んな種類があり、ショーもとても素敵でした！
子供も喜んでました♪
送迎してくれた男性の運転手さんの余計な一言が無ければ最高でした。
大きなお世話だし、態度悪すぎる。

The tour guide was great, the horses were lovely, the scenery was perfect, and the ride was peaceful and relaxing, but you won’t see the sunset on the beach like the photos suggest you will. (It sets behind the mountain across the street from the riding tour, which was a disappointment for me considering the name of the tour and the photos!)

We participated as a couple. Skydiving was my first time in life. I was very nervous, but in the end, it became the best memory! I'm not good with thrill rides like roller coasters, but having a guide made me feel safe to jump!

The thrill leading up to the jump was also fun, and I was able to see the best views, so I'm really glad I participated.

夫婦で参加しました。スカイダイビングは人生初。とてもドキドキしましたが、結果的に最高の思い出になりました！
私はジェットコースターなどの絶叫系は得意ではないのですが、ガイドさんがついてくれるので安心して飛べましました！

飛び立つまでのスリルも楽しかったし、最高の景色を見ることができて参加してとても良かったです。

It was too long of a day! Our bus left PCC after 9:20pm which meant we got back to Waikīkī almost 11pm. The day was great but the ending with the timing of the bus was a sour note.

The tour was fun! Our Drivers gave us information about sites as we drove along! We stopped at the macadamia nut farm and fruit stand!! He gave us options about what was available for us to do! I was with a big group, we chose hiking to the waterfall and kayaking/paddleboarding!! The hike was along a paved road so not much hiking but swimming in a waterfall was worth it!! Make sure you wear water shoes that can tolerate walking on rocks if you get in at the waterfall! And while paddle boarding, I saw a turtle then ate gelato at one of the vendors near the lake!
Overall 9/10 experience!!! Would have loved to have gone to the beach as well but time didn’t permit

My husband and I had a fantastic day at the polynesian culture centre.
We went to many of the activities and to the Gateway dinner. We felt it was excellent and a beautiful display plus we learnt a lot.
Thank you all so very much...
I was particularly wishing to go to a Luau and that was what I thought I booked from Australia before we went.....however discovered while there that I had booked the Gateway dinner. Bit disappointed but the dinner was lovely and the whole experience fantastic!!! Thank you all so much...

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a “must have adventure” that we would highly recommend from couples to families. We spent a day and enjoyed every second of it. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and kept it quiet but loved the experience of the Tahitian wedding ceremony where we renewed our promise. The food experience was outstanding, we tried a lot of food that we never tried before. The raw tuna was our favourite. 1 day was not enough to have the time to have some art workshop to do and sadly we couldn’t go back to have an Okulele session.
Thank you for the experience of our lifetime. Tia and Zoltan from Ireland

What a thrilling day, my 11 year old was buzzing by the end!

It was a really great ground, but you will be tired after exploring PCC.

The kids had a lot of fun, we think we would skip next but its worth it one time!

I've always wanted to try skydiving. The moment I jumped out of the Cessna was thrilling, and my heart was racing, but I was able to enjoy the journey through the sky with the diver, feeling excited. Definitely give it a try!

ずっとやってみたかったスカイダイビング。
セスナからの飛び出した瞬間はドキドキ、心臓バクバクでしたが、ダイバーの方と一緒に空の旅をワクワクしながら楽しむ事が出来ました。
ぜひ、挑戦してみて下さい！

Highly recommend! This experience is incredible and the guides that run it are awesome. Our guide in particular was very kind to our 8 year old daughter who had a blast with us.

This was my second horseback riding experience, but it was my first time along the coast! I started with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Thanks to the kind and attentive trainer and the adorable horse, I ended up having so much fun that I was filled with joy before I knew it. I definitely want to do this again! For those who are unsure about it, this wonderful location for horseback riding will help you forget your everyday fatigue and stress in an instant.

乗馬体験は2度目ですが、今回の海沿いは初めて！
興奮と緊張感満載でスタートしました。
優しくきめ細やかなトレーナーさんと可愛いお馬さんのお陰で楽しくていつの間にかウキウキしながらの体験となりました。
また是非！是非！潮風を浴びながら乗馬体験したいです。
どうしようかな…？と、迷っている方、こんな素晴らしいロケーションでの乗馬体験は、普段の疲れやストレスを一気に忘れさせてくれますよ(^｡^)
