All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

I was anxious until I got on, but once I flew, it was refreshing!
Even though the aircraft is small, it flies steadily.
The speed is slow enough to enjoy the scenery, and 30 minutes goes by in no time.
However, it's scary when I'm the one piloting; the aircraft responds to even the slightest movement of the control stick.

乗るまでは不安でしたが、いざ飛んでみれば気分爽快！
機体は小さくても安定した飛行です。
速度もゆっくりで景色を楽しむことができ、３０分はあっという間です。
でも自分が操縦する時だけはコワいですね、操縦桿の少しの動きに機体が反応します。

We participated in a course that departed from Waikiki at 2:30 PM. On the way there, it was just the guide and the two of us, and we were able to freely ask the guide about life in Hawaii, which was really enjoyable!

After arriving, I heard that we couldn't do any activities, but we could enter the village. However, we were disappointed to be told at the gate of the inner village that we couldn't enter. There were only a few souvenir shops at the front, so we ended up with some free time.

The buffet was surprising with its volume and variety. For Japanese people, a regular restaurant might be enough. The Polynesian show was incredibly moving, just as rumored, and it was very good!

私達は午後14時半、ワイキキ出発のコースで参加しました。行きはガイドさんと私達2人のみで、自由に気兼ねなくガイドさんハワイライフを伺い、すごく楽しかったです♪
到着後、アクティビティはできないけど、村の中に入れると聞きましたが、奥の村のゲートで入場できないと言われガッカリでした。手前の土産物屋は少ししかなくて、時間を持て余しました。
バイキング料理は、ボリューム、種類が多すぎて驚きました。日本人は普通の飲食店ので十分かも。ポリネシアショーは、うわさどおり大感動、とても良かった！

Be prepared to take a lot of knowledge in! Everyone in our family had plenty of fun!

faced our fears and ended up being one of our best experiences! my boys loved the thrill of being right next to the sharks

it was very educational and all the staff were informative and very nice. I highly recommend it.

It was absolutely amazing! This time, I went with my family of four. The exhilaration and indescribable feeling are something you can't experience anywhere else. Skydiving doesn't have the same sense of distance from the ground as bungee jumping, so it's not scary at all. If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely encourage you to give it a shot!

やっぱり最高でした！今回は家族4人で飛びました。
この爽快感と何とも言えない感覚は他で味わえるものではないです。スカイダイビングは陸との距離感が全くないのでバンジージャンプのような怖さはありません。
未体験の方は是非チャレンジしてみて下さい！

It was absolutely amazing! Skydiving, which was on my bucket list, was something I thought might be a bit scary. While waiting below, I was nervous because the parachutes were arriving so quickly! But once I got up there, the height was so great that I didn't feel scared at all, haha. It was completely not scary! I also heard that the person jumping with me had done it about 20,000 times, which made me feel very reassured! Since returning home, I've been recommending it to all my friends.

まーーじで最高でした！
人生でやりたいことリストに入っていたスカイダイビング！ちょっと怖いかなって思ってて、下で待機してる時パラシュートの到着する速度が早くてビビってました！
けど上まで行ったらもう怖いとかないくらいの高さでw
全く怖くなかったです！
いっしょに飛んでくれる人も20000回ほど飛んでいると聞いてとても安心しました！
帰国して友達にみんなに勧めています

This is my 3rd time coming here over the years, and it never disappoints it just gets better and better. I highly recommend this experience to everyone. Visiting the different islands was both informative and entertaining. Our buffet dinner was suburb with vast food choices. The show HA was spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed ourself their performance was flawless. Keep up the magnificent work !!

As a memory of our honeymoon, I had the experience with my wife!

The drive from Waikiki was incredibly refreshing, surrounded by nature that you can't see in Japan! It might be better to speak some English! This time, I was helped by a Japanese person who could understand the surroundings!

Skydiving was the most exhilarating part, as going up in the Cessna felt amazing! After jumping out, I have no memory of what happened! It was that scary! I definitely think that those who are not good with thrill rides should avoid it!

ハネムーンの思い出として
妻と体験させてもらいました！

ワイキキからドライブは
日本では見ることのない大自然でとても爽快的！
英語は話せたほうがいいかもです！
今回は周りに理解できる日本人の方がいたので助かりました！

スカイダイビングは
セスナで上空まで行くのが最高に気持ちいいです！
飛び降りてからは記憶がありません！
そのくらい怖いです！
絶叫マシンが苦手な方は絶対にやらないほうがいいと思います！

Since we were the only ones on the day of the tour, it felt like a private tour. The guide was very kind and made it a lot of fun, so we really enjoyed ourselves! ☺︎ I was worried because I hardly speak any English, but the guide made an effort to communicate using translation tools, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience!

Anyway, my face ended up completely black (laughs). It gets so dark that I can't even go out in public. A towel and wet wipes are essential.

I will definitely participate again! ☺︎ Thank you very much.

当日は私達しかいなかったので貸切ツアーでしたがガイドさんもとっても親切で楽しませてくれたのでとっても楽しめました☺︎
英語がほとんどできないので心配でしたが、翻訳を使いながら一生懸命に伝えてくださるので安心して楽しめます‼︎

とにかく顔が真っ黒になります（笑）人前には出れないくらい真っ黒になります。タオル、濡れティッシュ必須です。

また絶対に参加します☺︎ありがとうございました。

It was more fun than I expected because we could go fast. However, since everyone runs at the same time, it might be frustrating if the person in front is slow (the person in front of me was my wife, haha). So depending on the group combination, it could become boring.

Since it was in the North, we went by rental car, and we arrived earlier than expected. When I asked to change the start time, they kindly accommodated my request, probably because they had availability.

思った以上にはスピードが出せて楽しかったです。ただ基本全員同時に走るので前の人遅いとイライラするかも（私の前の人は妻でした（笑））。なのでグループの組み合わせ次第ではつまらなくなるかも？
ノースなのでレンタカーで行きましたが、思ったより早く着いたので現地で開始時間の変更をお願いしたら、空いていたからだと思いますが快く変更してくれました。

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Waimea Valley Luau!
The pre activities were so fun; my son (23 years old) participated in the coconut opening and the palm head cover. He totally embraced the moment.
The area was beautiful! We did the falls and the gardens first.
The drinks were quite festive, and the food was awesome.
The “show” was engaging; I loved the music and dance. And, the fire was very impressive!
I would highly recommend this experience!

I left my hotel near Waikiki at 6:30 AM to meet at the location by 8:30 AM. I thought the shuttle service was a bit expensive, so I took an Uber taxi instead (it cost about 8,000 yen one way).

I arrived at the location in about an hour. It was mentioned that there would be a restroom, but there was no toilet paper and it was extremely dirty, so please keep that in mind when using the facilities. (laughs)

There were a total of 12 members in our group. Before boarding the boat, we had to take off our shoes. Since all shoes can be placed together in a basket, I recommend wearing sandals or something that you don’t mind getting dirty.

After reading reviews from others, I took motion sickness medication before going. After about 15 minutes on the boat, I got seasick. If you are prone to motion sickness, be prepared.

When we reached the area where sharks are spotted, we were divided into two groups: the first half and the second half entered the water. By the way, there was no one among the staff or participants who spoke Japanese. (laughs)

The captain explained the safety instructions in English. He asked if I was from Japan and then handed me a written explanation in Japanese. I can’t speak any English, but surprisingly, I managed just fine. (laughs)

They provide snorkeling gear for free. However, some people brought their own. Since the snorkeling gear is shared, if you’re uncomfortable with that, it’s better to bring your own.

The tour was more fun than I expected, with plenty of sharks around. The time flew by. If it weren’t for the seasickness, I would want to participate again and again. However, since the seasickness was quite severe, I rated it one star lower than the maximum. I returned by bus (it cost about 1,000 yen for two people).

8時半に現地集合のため、朝の6時半にワイキキ付近の宿泊ホテルを出ました。送迎してもらうプランが料金が少し高いと思ったので、Uberタクシーで自力で行きました。(行きのみで約8000円ほどでした)

1時間ほどで現地に到着。現地にトイレがあると書いてありましたが、トイレットペーパーがなくてトイレも壊滅的に汚い為、それを頭に入れてトイレを使ってください。(笑)

メンバーは全員で12人でした。船に乗る前に履物を脱ぎます。籠に全員分まとめて入れられるので、汚れてもいいようなサンダル等を履いてきたほうがいいと思います。

他の方の口コミを読んで、酔い止めを飲んでいきました。船に揺られて15分ほど、見事に酔いました。船酔いしやすい方は覚悟していってください。
サメの出没するポイントにつくと2つのグループに分けられました。前半組と後半組で海に入りました。
ちなみに日本語をしゃべれる人はスタッフと参加者で誰もいませんでした。(笑)

キャプテンが注意事項等、英語で説明してくれます。ジャパン？と聞かれ、その後日本語で書いてある説明書を渡してくれました。まったく英語を喋れませんが、意外と何とかなります。(笑)

シュノーケリングは無料で貸してくれます。ですが、自分で持ってきてる人もいました。使い回しのシュノーケリングなので、嫌な方は自分で持ってきたほうがいいです。

ツアー自体は思った以上にサメがうようよいてとても楽しかったです。
あっという間の時間でした。
船酔いがなければ何度でも参加したいです。
でも船酔いが相当きつかったので、星は最高点より1つマイナスにしました。
帰りはバスで帰りました。(2人で約1000円くらい)

We had a great trip! Guides were super friendly and accommodating

You can enjoy breathtaking views in Hawaii. This is truly a unique activity that only Hawaii offers.

You can experience a total of seven different activities, and there are various challenges along the way, so you won't get bored at all.

If you're too light, you might get stuck at times, but the staff will come to help you, so you can feel at ease.

The exhilaration is outstanding.

The staff are all very friendly and fun, which really boosts your mood and doubles the enjoyment.

This is the most recommended activity among all the experiences I had this time!

ハワイの絶景を楽しめます。
これこそハワイならではのアクティビティ。

全部で７本も体験できますが、
途中でいろいろとお題を出されるので、
まったく飽きません。

体重が軽すぎると途中で止まってしまうこともありましたが、
スタッフの方が助けに行ってくださるので安心です。

爽快感抜群です。

とてもフレンドリーで楽しいスタッフさんばかりで、
気分を盛り上げてくれるので、
楽しさも倍増です。

今回体験したアクティビティの中で一番おすすめです！

The horses are very cute, but...

They just walk in a straight line quietly for a long time (there are explanations from the staff and opportunities to talk with them, but you can't converse with your companions), so I got bored after about the first 30 minutes...

I wish we could walk side by side with our companions and chat instead of in a line.

Thinking about it, it might not be worth the price.

I wonder if it's something I really need to do in Hawaii...

Next time I experience this, I would prefer a private course.

馬はとってもかわいいのですが・・・

ずーっとひたすら一列で黙々と歩くので
（スタッフの方の説明があったり、スタッフの方と話すことはありますが、
同行者と話すことはできません）、
最初の３０分くらいで飽きてしまいました・・・。

一列ではなく、同行者と並んで、おしゃべりしながら歩けたらいいなと思います。

そう考えるとお値段に釣り合わないかもです。

わざわざハワイに行ってやらなくてもいいかなと・・・。

今度体験するなら、プライベートコースにしたいと思います。

We participated as a family of four (with a middle schooler and an elementary school student).

I was a bit anxious because there were few reviews and no Japanese guide, but it was more fun than I imagined, and the kids were very satisfied!

The tour lasted about two and a half hours and was divided into three main sections:
- A flat road where we could drive about 40 km
- A bumpy road through the jungle
- A course within a playground with steep ups and downs
Each section offered a different kind of enjoyment.

Good points:
- The drive through the vast scenery was cool and pleasant.
- The bumpy road was fun like a roller coaster.
- The guide was very kind.
- Even if you're not good at English, they speak slowly, so it's understandable.
- There are instructions in Japanese.
- The water and juice provided during the tour were cold and delicious.
- We received photos and videos from the tour via AirDrop.

Bad points:
- While driving, the guide explains Hawaii's history through a walkie-talkie, but if you're not good at English, it's hard to understand over the walkie-talkie...
- Tips can only be paid in cash, not by card.
- Transportation to the North Shore is necessary.

Before participating, I wondered if it was necessary to go to the mountains instead of the beach in Hawaii, but I think it was the right decision to join! It was really fun.

家族4人（中1、小4）で参加しました。
・口コミが少なかい
・日本語ガイドがいない
ということもあり、少し不安でしたが、
想像以上の楽しさで子供たちも大満足でした！

ツアー時間は2時間半くらいで、大きく
・40km程度で走れる平らな道
・ジャングルの中の凸凹道
・起伏の激しいプレイランド内のコース
の3つに分けられますが、どれも違った楽しさがありました。

良かったこと
・広大な景色の中のドライブが涼しくて気持ち良い
・凸凹道がジェットコースターみたいで楽しい
・ガイドの方がとても親切
・英語苦手でもゆっくり話してくれるので理解できる
・日本語の説明書はある
・ツアー中にもらった水、ジュースが冷えてて美味しい
・ツアー中の写真、動画もairdropでもらえる

悪かったこと
・運転中もトランシーバーでハワイの歴史などを解説してくれるのですが、英語が苦手だとトランシーバーごしでは理解できない…
・チップがカードで払えず現金のみ
・ノースショアまでの移動が必要


参加するまでは、ハワイまで来て海じゃなくて山行く必要ある？とも思ってましたが、参加して正解だったと思いました！
本当に楽しかったです。

Had a good time in a group of different ages from teens to 40s! Recommend!

I challenged my son to skydiving for the first time. It's a lifelong memory. I haven't told my son, but I was scared—I'm glad we did it on impulse.

初めてのスカイダイビングを息子とチャレンジ
一生の思い出です。ただ　息子には言ってませんが怖かったー勢いでやれて良かった

The staff was bright and fun, and it was clear that they genuinely enjoy and love the ocean. Thanks to them, I was able to have a truly moving time in the sea. I understand that there might be concerns about safety during the shark swim, but the staff prioritizes the safety of their guests above all else. They guide you while maintaining a balance that is considerate of the sharks in terms of distance, timing, and duration. I felt that this was very important, especially since it was a cage-free swim, and having good control is crucial. I look forward to coming back to Hawaii and would love to rely on their services again. Thank you for the wonderful experience! ALOHA!!!

スタッフは明るく、楽しいメンバーで、心から海を楽しみ、愛してるのが伝わってきました。おかげですごく感動的な海の時間を過ごすことができました。シャークスイムはやはり安全性も心配かと思いますが、スタッフはお客の安全を1番に考えています。距離感、タイミング、時間配分とサメに無理のないバランスを保ってガイドしてくれます。ゲージフリーのスイムだからこそとても大切な事であるし、統制が取れていることは重要と私は感じました。また次にハワイに来る時はお世話になりたいと思っています。感動をありがとうございました！ALOHA!!!

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first experience participating in this tour. I've seen sharks through glass and from a boat, but this time, even though there was a cage, the sensation of swimming right next to them was thrilling and very enjoyable. If I could experience it at a deeper level with something like an air walk that supplies oxygen, it might be even more fun. I definitely plan to participate again if I have the chance.

何度かハワイに来てますが、このツアーの参加は初めて体験してみました。サメをガラス越しに観察や船上から見たことはありますが今回はゲージがあるとはいえ直ぐ足元や横で一緒に泳いでいるという感覚はスリルも感じとても楽しかったです。エアーウォークみたいに酸素を送りもう少し深い位置で体験出来たらもっと楽しいかもしれない。また機会があれば是非参加してみようと思います。

The weather was great, the scenery was wonderful, and I had a lot of fun.
My English is not very good, but I felt reassured because they kindly taught me.

I was worried about whether there would be sharks, but there were no problems at all, and they were swimming around everywhere. I was able to see many sharks.

The voucher from Veltra mentioned beach sandals or slippers, but in reality, I was told to go barefoot when getting on the boat, and I was barefoot the whole time on the boat.

When I ordered a DVD, I was told that the camera was broken because it was bitten by a shark! They said sorry.

There were various differences from the information provided by Veltra, but overall, I had a great time.

お天気に恵まれて、景色も素晴らしく、楽しかったです。
英語はさっぱりなのですが、親切に教えてもらえて安心でした。

サメがいるかどうか、心配してたのですが、まったく問題なしで、うじゃうじゃ泳いでいました。たくさんのサメを見ることができました。

ベルトラさんのバウチャーには、ビーチサンダルかスリッパと書かれていたのですが、実際は船に乗るとき裸足になるように言われ、船に乗ってからはずっと裸足でした。

DVDを頼んだら、サメに噛まれてカメラが壊れた！ごめんねと言われました。

ヴェルトラさんの情報とは異なるところがいろいろありましたが、総合してとても楽しかったです。

We left our hotel in Waikiki early and arrived in about 50 minutes. The place we got off at was locked, and upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit different, so we walked a bit further and found a sign that said "Check-In," where we waited. However, even when the meeting time came, they didn't arrive for quite a while and showed up 10 minutes later. The explanation was only in English, and I could only understand a little through gestures. At first, I was scared, but once I got used to it, I was able to enjoy horseback riding while feeling the North Shore breeze.

I was fine, but a foreign participant with us seemed to have some issues. My husband said his butt hurt. It was a valuable experience.

早めにワイキキのホテルを出発したところ50分くらいで着きました。降りたところが鍵がかかっており、よーく見てみるとちょっと違ってたので、先の方に行ってみるとチェックインと書いてあったので、そこで待っていました。しかし集合時間になってもなかなか来ず10分後にきました。説明は英語のみで身振り手振りで何となくしかわからない状態で出発。最初は怖かったですが慣れるとノースショアの風を感じながら、気持ちよく乗馬出来ました。
私は何ともなかったのですが、一緒に参加した外国の方はまたズレ？してました。主人は、お尻が痛いと言ってました。貴重な経験が出来ました。

I have a fear of heights, but thanks to everyone's reviews and the YouTube videos I watched to prepare, I really enjoyed the day! However, our lack of English skills meant that the details of our reservation were completely ignored. They were promoting plans like having another cameraman fly and take photos, and there are plans that allow you to fly even higher, targeting Japanese customers. As a beginner, I ended up with a plan that goes up to the highest altitude with an oxygen mask, which was a big misunderstanding, so please be careful! But it was so much fun!

高所恐怖症の私ですが、みなさんの感想やYouTubeの映像で予習していったおかげで当日は本当に楽しめました！！
ただ！！私達の英語力が無かったのでしょうがないですが、こちらで予約した内容は一切無視
もう1人カメラマンが飛んで撮影するプランがあるよ！もっと高く飛べるプランがあるよ！と日本人を狙って営業してきます
初心者なのに酸素マスク付きの最高度まであがるプランとなり大誤算でしたお気をつけください！
でもとっても楽しかったです！！

Absolutely loved and enjoyed this experience. It was my husband’s first time, and he had the time of his life. This experience would have been nothing without the zip lining associates that were so professional, yet encouraging and light hearted at the same time! Special shoutout to Reagan & Shiloh, what an awesome crew! I forgot the guys name but he was great too, made some funny jokes on our atv ride out to the zip lines. Speaking of zip lines, such a fun experience and a great workout might I add. If you have a fear of heights that you want to get over, then this zip lining crew is the one you want!!

PS, if you’re driving from Wakiki to this place, be prepared to be blown away with some breathtaking views of the island!

My children had a blast that day! It was their first time on an ATV! The staff was extremely friendly, patient, & kind. We will be back again when we visit the Norrh Shore. What a great experience for all ages!

Really got to see the island like never before. Was really great.

글라이더 투어 처음으로 해 보았습니다.
긴장이 되긴 했지만, 하기를 잘 했다고 생각이 듭니다.
하늘에서 감동을 잊을 수가 없습니다.
하와이에 왔다면, 꼭~ 유인 글라이더 투어를 하시기 바랍니다.
완전 강추 입니다.~^^
무한 도전에서 나오셨던 그 아저씨...
지금은 세월이 15년이나 흘러 할아버지가 되셨지만,
같이 사진 찍어 주시면서 다양한 포즈 취하게 해 주시고 ㅎㅎ
즐겁게 사진을 찍었습니다.
다음에 또 하와이를 간다면 글라이더 투어 한번 더 하고 싶네요~^^

Right after jumping, my first impression was "It's cold!" But immediately after, I was shouting "Amazing! This is crazy, crazy!!" I want to experience it not just once, but two or three times.

飛んだ直後は「寒い！」と言うのが感想　でも直ぐに「最高！」「ヤバい、ヤバい！！」と叫んでました。
一度と言わずに二度、三度と体験したいです。

I took advantage of the pick-up service to Waikiki. In the morning, a cheerful older man came to pick me up in a van. All 11 of us boarded the 11-seater, and it took a little over an hour to reach the North Shore.

Upon arrival, I logged in using a touch panel. Everything was in English, but I managed to do it in about five minutes with Google Lens for translation. Then, I went to the register to pay a fuel surcharge of $15 and chose a photo package to complete the process.

I was expecting some safety instructions before the jump, but the instructor helped me put on the gear and briefly said in broken Japanese where to place my hands just before jumping, to "arch my back" while in the air, and to lift my legs upon landing. It was a bit confusing, and I felt a little discomfort when the gear accidentally hit my ear during removal, but I couldn't express it well. Other than that, it was fantastic.

After that, I boarded the plane, jumped, arched my back, lifted my legs, and landed. I received a souvenir at the end. At that time, I was given a bag for tips, which I placed in the box.

On the way back, I rode with the same group. It was a bit scary to eat a sandwich while using my smartphone and driving on the highway, but I made it back safely.

ワイキキへ迎えに来てくれるとのことでそれを利用しました。
朝、元気のいいおじさんがバンで迎えに来てくれました。
11人乗りに11人乗り込んで1時間強くらいでノースショアの現地につきました。

現地に着くとタッチパネルでログイン。
全部英語なのでgoogleレンズで翻訳しながら5分でできました。
そうしたらレジに行き燃料サーチャージ15ドル？を支払い。写真を撮るコースを選び完了。

飛ぶ前に何かしら注意事項があるのかと思っていましたが、インストラクターが器具を装着してくれながら、飛ぶ寸前は手はここ、飛んだら「エビゾリ」、着地は足上げてと片言の日本語で言われて終わりです。
着地して器具を外す時にたまたま耳に金具が当たり痛かったですが伝え方が分からずそこだけがモヤりましたが、あとは最高です。

あとは、飛行機に乗り込んでジャンプしてエビゾリして足上げて着地して終わりです。
記念品をもらいます。その時チップを入れる袋をもらいます。チップを入れて箱に入れます。

帰りの車も同じメンバーで乗って帰ります。
スマホいじりながらサンドイッチを食べながら高速道路を運転するのは少し怖かったですが無事帰りました。
