All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

I jumped into the clear blue sky with no wind. I was so moved that I couldn't find the words.

In the morning, I was filled with hope and had quite a bit of waiting time, so I relaxed on a bench until it was time. Everyone at the location was kind, and I boarded the plane with high spirits.

When my partner and I found a round rainbow in the sky and flew through it, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, I love Hawaii!"

風が無い快晴の空に飛び込みました。
感動で言葉がでませんでした。

朝希望の私は待ち時間もかなりあり、
時間になるまでベンチでゆっくりしてました。
現地の方はみなさん優しく、
テンションぶち上げで飛行機にのりこみました。

パートナーと空で丸い虹を見つけて
その中をくぐってくれたときは、あぁハワイ大好きと言葉が漏れました。

Had a great time from the time of pick up all throughout to the Center , the driver and the assistant Cousin Vette was funny and very knowledgeable of the culture since he was from Samoa . It was a great experience to learn about different cultures and histories inside the Polynesian Cultural Center, glad we added this to our bucket list

I booked a plan that includes transportation! The bus arrived on time, and all the staff spoke English. Even if there was a language barrier, the staff tried to communicate with gestures, so it all worked out! The zip line was so much fun! It's fine even if you have a fear of heights! The fruit tomatoes and apple bananas from the farm were delicious too!

送迎付きのプランで予約しました！
バスも予定時刻通り迎えにきてくれて、スタッフさんは全て英語。言葉が通じなくてもスタッフさんもジェスチャーで伝えようとしてくれるのでなんとかなります！！
ジップラインはめっちゃ楽しかったです！高所恐怖症でも大丈夫！！農場で取れるフルーツトマトやアップルバナナも美味しかったです！

The tour lasts about 3 hours and includes 7 zip lines. 1) They teach you various sliding styles, 2) You can take commemorative photos at scenic spots! 3) Tomatoes, macadamia nuts, bananas. 4) The harness and rules are very thorough, so you can feel safe and there’s no risk of falling, which means you can also take photos with a smartphone selfie stick. 5) They talked to us in English about various things before sliding, but I didn’t understand… 6) The price is on the higher side, but I think it was worth the experience.

約3時間のツアーで、７本のジップラインがある。１）いろいろな滑降スタイルを教えてくれます、２）景色がよいところで、記念撮影！３）トマト、マカダミアナッツ、バナナ　４）ハーネスやルールも万全かなり安心で、落下することは無いでしょう、よって、スマホ自撮り棒で撮影も出来ます。　５）滑走する前にいろいろと英語で話してくれましたが？？英語がわからず…　６）金額的には、高めですが体験して良かったと思います。　

I had a great experience!!! The instructor was kind and taught us well, and I didn't feel unsafe at all. The view from the sky was something I've never seen before, and it became a lifelong memory! Thank you!

いい経験ができました！！！インストラクターの方も優しく教えていただき、危ないと思うことは１つもありませんでした。空から見える景色は今まで見たことないもので、一生の思い出になりました！ありがとうございます！

The guide was very kind and attentive! Additionally, since the guide explained everything in Japanese and most of the participants were Japanese, I felt comfortable joining.

The shrimp on the North Shore is incredibly delicious!! The town is colorful and very stylish, which really lifts your spirits! There are many souvenir shops, so I did a lot of shopping!

ガイドさんがとても優しく、丁寧な方でした！
また、ガイドさんが日本語で説明してくださったこと、参加者がほとんど日本人だったので安心して参加できました。

ノースショアのシュリンプがすっごい美味しい！！
街も、建物がカラフルですごくおしゃれでテンションが上がります！
お土産屋さんがたくさんあるので、沢山買い物しました！

Horseback riding on the beach was fabulous. Beautiful and very relaxing. Our ride was 11/2 hours long which was just perfect. We wanted the sunset ride but it was booked, so reserve early. The horses are well groomed and cared for. Highly recommend this experience.

We participated as a family. At first, it was scary, but since we got used to the gentle course before moving to higher altitudes, we were able to enjoy it without anxiety. There was an instructor who spoke a little Japanese, which was helpful. It would have been even more fun if we could speak English.

Since there are times when you need to hold onto the equipment with both hands, it would be convenient to have a case to hang your smartphone around your neck. I think it would be concerning if you only had it in your back pocket and it fell out.

When we were there, there was water available, but unfortunately, there were no bananas or other fruits (not sure if they ran out?).

Overall, it was a fun and great experience.

家族で参加。最初は怖かったのですが、優しいコースで慣れてから高地に上がるので不安なく楽しめました。
少し日本語が話せるインストラクターさんがいたので助かりました。
英語が出来たらもっと楽しかったでしょうね。
両手で器具につかまることもあるので　スマホを首からぶら下げられるケース等があると便利です。お尻のポケットだけでは　もし落としたら…と不安になると思います。
私たちの時は水はありましたが、バナナなどフルーツはなく（数が尽きたのか分かりません？）残念でした。

でも楽しくいい体験ができました。

Tour guide outstanding. Exceeded all our needs and provided excellent guide service and advice. Treated us special from the moment we met until our departure. Thanks very much for translating Chinese for my wife and daughter and making their experience memorable. Had the best time ever! Definitely need to do this again with same guide. Thank you!

I'm not very good with roller coasters (to give you an idea, I wouldn't want to ride Splash Mountain at Disneyland), so I hesitated, but I went ahead and did it!

Since you jump with an instructor, there's no time to hesitate up in the air, so you won't have extra time to feel scared! You only feel the sensation of floating a little at first, and after that, it's completely fine!

The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the instructor is friendly and helps ease your nerves by chatting with you. We didn't have to wait long at all. It can be cold up in the air, so I recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants during this season.

The minimum tip for the instructor and photographer is $20, and for the driver, it's $10, so you'll need to prepare cash. Payment for optional fees can be made by card.

If you're hesitating, I definitely recommend giving it a try!

ジェットコースターがとても苦手(ディズニーランドで言えばスプラッシュマウンテンはあまり乗りたくない程度)なのでやるか迷いましたが決行しました！

インストラクターの方と一緒に飛ぶので上空で躊躇している余裕はありませんので余計な恐怖感を感じる時間はありません！
浮遊感を感じるのは最初に少しだけであとは全く問題ないです！

とにかく景色もとてもよく、インストラクターも気さくに話しかけてきて緊張をほぐしてくれます。
待ち時間は私たちの場合はそんなに待ちませんでした。上空は寒いのでこの時期なら長袖長ズボンがオススメです。

料金はチップでインストラクター、カメラマンに20ドル、ドライバーに10ドルが最低ラインなので現金の用意が必要です。
オプションの料金はカード払いも可能です。

迷ってる方は是非ご経験あれ！

The instructors were friendly and made me feel very excited even before flying. There were also people who spoke Japanese, which gave me a great sense of reassurance. When I was flying, I was asked if I was a fan, and when I answered "fan!!", they spun me around, which was a lot of fun.

インストラクターの方も気さくで、飛ぶ前からとっても楽しい気持ちにさせてくれました。日本語が喋れる方もいたので安心感がとてもありました。飛んでる時にfan?と聞かれてfan!!と答えたら、グルグル回してくれたりしてくれてとても楽しかったです。

It was skydiving from a height of 4,267 meters. Everything was a first-time experience and it was very valuable, but the instructor was very friendly and helped ease my nerves. At one point, due to some trouble with the airplane, we switched to a helicopter, but we were able to fly safely without any injuries. It was the best experience I've ever had! However, I did feel a bit nauseous while descending in a spiral with the parachute... Also, it's cold, so warm clothing is essential.

高度4267メートルからのスカイダイビングでした。何もかもが初めての体験で、とても貴重していましたが、インストラクターはとてもフレンドリーで緊張をほぐしてくれました。途中飛行機のトラブルか何かでヘリコプターに変わりましたが、無事に怪我なく、飛ぶことができました。今までに経験したことのない最高の体験でした！ただパラシュートで旋回しながらおりる時は少し気持ち悪くなりました…後は寒いので防寒必須です。

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Greg was unbelievably knowledgeable and so funny! All the stops were absolutely gorgeous! We would definitely do this again!!

I didn't understand the guide's (Kaz's) explanations well, and I was just dropped off at the sea and left to my own devices. I spoke with a woman who was also on the same tour, and none of us really understood what was going on. The horseback riding was very enjoyable. However, the casual way of speaking and the overall lack of professionalism made it an unsatisfactory tour. I recommend not participating.

ガイドさん(カズさん)の説明がよくわからず、適当に海に降ろされ、野放しにされました。
同じツアーに参加していた、女性の方とも話し、全員がよくわかっていませんでした。
乗馬はとても楽しかったです。
しかしタメ語で話しかけてくる感じや、全体的に雑で、満足なツアーになりませんでした。
参加しないことをおすすめします。

It was my sixth skydiving experience (first time in Hawaii), and it was amazing to see whales from the plane. My family was also thrilled after the jump. I definitely recommend it if you go to Hawaii!

６回目のスカイダイビング（ハワイは初めて）飛行機からクジラも見れて最高な時間でした家族も飛び終わった後は喜んでいました‍‍ ハワイに行ったら絶対お勧めします

This was my second trip to Hawaii in about 30 years. It was my first time visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center. The shuttle bus took about 90 minutes to travel 60 kilometers from Waikiki to the center. Our guide was a lovely Japanese girl who kept us entertained with fun topics the whole way.

As for dinner, I'm sorry! It didn't suit my taste. The mashed potatoes, couscous, and crab were delicious, though. The overall flavor was quite rough, which was disappointing. However, all the staff were really nice, and the atmosphere was comfortable.

Unfortunately, the weather was a letdown! It rained heavily. Because of that, I couldn't enjoy shopping; it was cold, I got wet, and I didn't have a towel. Having wet feet was quite tough, and it was cold. It's best to prepare something warm depending on the weather!

But! The show was truly amazing, more than enough to overshadow all the negatives! It depicted birth, growth, departure, love, marriage, battles, the death of loved ones, forgiveness, the birth of children, and the ongoing cycle of human life, love, and family—Ohana.

In the final scene, I was in tears. It was wonderful! Even though it wasn't in Japanese, the message came through clearly. I'm really glad I went! Mahalo~❣️

30年ぶりくらいの2回目のハワイ。
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターへは、初めてでした。
送迎バスでワイキキから60キロ離れたセンターまで、約90分近く。ガイドさんは可愛らしい日本人のお嬢さん。道中ずーっと楽しい話題で退屈させることなく運んでくれました。
、、、って、私は、午前中、ダイヤモンドヘッドへワンデイパス使ってバスで行って登山してきた疲れもあって爆睡してしまってましたが、相方かきっちり聴いてました。^_^

ディナーはですねー、ごめんなさいね！
わたしの口には合いませんでした。
美味しかったのはマッシュポテトとクスクスと蟹。かな。笑、、仕方ないなーって、思えない程ざっくりしたお味でござりました。が、スタッフさんはみーんないい感じで、居心地はよかったです。
残念だったのは天候！雨でした。
大雨。だから、ショッピングを、楽しむどころじゃなく、寒い、濡れる、タオルない。足が濡れたまんまは結構つらかった。そして、寒い。
天候によって羽織るものなど待つべし！です。
でも！ショーはほんまにほんまにほんまに、マイナス面全てを包み込んでまだ余るくらい良かった！
誕生、成長、旅立ち、恋、結婚、戦い、愛する人の死、許し、子どもの誕生、繰り返し続く人の営みの中にある、愛、家族、Ohana
最後のシーン、涙溢れました。素晴らしい！
日本語じゃないけど、充分伝わります。
ほんとに行って良かった！マハロ〜❣️

We flew together as a couple ^_^. I was a little worried, but it was absolutely amazing! Supported by a strong instructor, we soared into the sky without hesitation! I became a bird without thinking about anything.

Don't expect a detailed explanation like in Japanese leisure activities; this is a self-responsibility leisure activity. You’ll be asked to sign many waivers, all in Japanese. I didn’t have time to read them, but I thought it wasn’t something to read thoroughly anyway.

Anyway, I highly recommend getting photos or videos! My husband ordered both photos and videos, while I just ordered photos! If you have an iPhone, they can send you the data via AirDrop on the spot. Definitely wear colorful clothing for the best visuals! ^_^ It’s cold at 4,200 meters, but there’s no time to feel cold! It gets hot once you land! Many people were flying in short sleeves. The instructors were dressed quite warmly, but everyone was colorful. ^_^

The Japanese guide at first seemed brusque, gave little explanation, and spoke in a commanding tone, which made me think, "What’s going on?" However, he turned out to be a deep and wise person with a rich life experience. I think opinions may vary, but it was definitely worth getting along with him! By the end, I was glad he was there! ^_^

We were grouped with a party of four women from Saga, and one of them was a wonderful girl who spoke English perfectly, so we became friends. After all, traveling is better with companions!

By trusting my body to the instructor and the flow of the wind, I was able to see the Earth from the sky. I removed my accessories, and my shoes were lace-ups, which made me feel secure. I was a bit worried they might come off since they looked like deck shoes, but it was fine.

On the return bus, a man who spun around when the parachute opened ended up getting sick, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious! Also, there seems to be a personal difference in how painful the ears can get. In either case, it takes time for the ears to return to normal.

If I get the chance again, I’ll wear colorful clothes, be mindful of the camera, and fly again! I’m so glad I did it! I was happy! Both my husband and I agreed! Thank you.

夫婦で飛びました^_^
すこーし心配してましたけど、
無茶苦茶良かった！屈強なインストラクターに支えられて躊躇する間もなく大空へ！
なーんにも考えず、鳥になりました。
説明が全部わからないし、日本のレジャーの説明を期待しちゃダメです。自己責任のレジャーです。沢山の誓約文にイニシャルサインを求められますが、全て日本語。読む暇なかったけど。笑
でも、きっちり読んでやることでもないなと。

ともかく、写真かビデオはおススメです！
うちは、夫が写真とビデオを。わたしは、写真だけを注文！その場でアイホンなら、エアードロップでデータくれます。
ポイントは是非ともカラフルな服装で臨まれるべし^_^。絵的にそれがいい！
高度4200メートルはそら寒いけど、寒がってる暇もない！降りたら暑いから！
半袖で飛んでる人多数。インストラクターさんは結構厚着やったけど、みんなカラフルでした。^_^

日本人ガイドのおじいちゃんは、はじめ、ぶっきらぼうだし、説明少ないし、命令口調だし、な。なんなの！と、思いましたが、なかなか深みのある人生の大先輩で、好き嫌いあるかなと思いますが、仲良くしてもらって損は無し！最後は、この人居てくれてよかった！と、思いました^_^

佐賀から女子4人で参加してるグループと同じグループになって、その中の1人が英語バッチリのステキな女子だったので、彼女らとも仲良くなって、やっぱり旅は道連れ！

インストラクターさんに身体を預け、風の流れに身体を預け、それだけで、地球を自分の目で空から眺められました。
アクセサリーは外して、靴はひもぐつが。あんしんとおもいます。わたしは、デッキシューズぽくて。ぬげちゃうかなとちょっと気になってたけど。大丈夫でした。
帰りの送迎のバスで、パラシュート開いた時にくるくる回された男性が、ゲロゲロ吐いちゃって、、酔いやすい人は注意！寝不足も注意！
あと、耳はいたーーーーーくなる人と痛くなる人と個人差ある模様。どちらの場合も耳が元に戻るのに時間がかかります。笑

チャンスあれば、カラフルな服着て、カメラ目線意識して、また飛びます！
やれて良かった！幸せでした！
夫婦ともに同意見でした！感謝。

This was an amazing experience and exceeded our expectations
Highly recommend this to everyone
Views are fantastic
Staff are amazing
Will be back
VELTRA - is a great company to book through

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon in Hawaii for the first time.

At first, we were nervous and chose the lower plan, but during the explanation of the flight, we quickly switched to the higher plan. Since there was only a $30 difference and the drop time would be more than double, we decided to go for it.

In the end, it was a great decision! It was way scarier than roller coasters or bungee jumping! It was so much fun and became a lifelong memory.

The waiting time mentioned in the reviews might be around 3 hours, but we didn't really feel it because of the excitement, and the time to calm down was actually nice.

It was really fun!! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンの初ハワイで夫婦で参加しました。

最初は慄いて低い方のプランにしましたが
飛ぶ説明の際に高い方に急遽変更。
$30しか変わらないのに
落ちる時間が倍以上になるなら、と。

結果。変更して良かったです！
ジェットコースターやバンジージャンプの方がよっぽど怖いくらいです！
楽しすぎたて一生の思い出になりました。

口コミに書いてある待ち時間は3時間くらいになるかもしれませんが、
ドキドキであんまり体感はなく
逆に落ち着ける時間が良かったです。

ホント楽しかった！！
ありがとうございました！

My first skydiving experience was amazing. The waiting time before it started was filled with tension and anxiety, but once it began, everything progressed smoothly without any waiting.

One downside was that the Japanese instructor who drove us to and from the location was quite a character and funny, but their driving was rough, which made me feel car sick and fearful of an accident.

Other than that, everything was fun. We didn't hire a photographer, but seeing others with one made me think that maybe we should have.

人生初のスカイダイビングは最高でした。始まるまでの待機時間は緊張と不安がおおかったですけど始まってからは待つことなくたんたんと進んでいきました。
少し残念だったのが行きと帰りの送迎の日本人インストラクターの方が個性的な人で面白かったですが運転が荒く車酔いや事故の恐怖が大きかったです。
それ以外は全部楽しかったです。
自分たちはカメラマンを頼みませんでしたが頼んでる人をみたら頼めばよかったかなと思いました。

The longest zip line on Oahu was truly exhilarating and amazing! The instructors were all friendly and really helped to create a lively atmosphere.

オアフ島最長のzip lineは本当に気持ち良くて最高でした‼️インストラクターの方々も気さくな人ばかりで場を盛り上げてくれます

I'm not afraid of heights, but at first, I was tense on the swaying launch platform. It was quite difficult to trust the safety belt. (laughs) By the third time, I got used to it and really enjoyed myself. In the second half, I started backward and even went upside down. Even as a couple in our sixties, we had plenty of fun. The view from the 800-meter launch platform became a great memory. Lastly, pulling myself up was tough, and my blood pressure went up quite a bit.

高所恐怖症ではないけど、揺れるスタート台に最初は力が入りました。
安全ベルトに身体を預けることが、なかなかできなかった。(笑)
三本目になると、慣れて、満喫しました。
後半には、後ろ向きにスタートしたり、逆さまになったりしました。
還暦の私達（夫婦）でも十分に楽しめました。
800ｍのスタート台から見る景色はいい思い出になりました。
最後に、自分で自分を引上げるのは、大変で血圧が随分上がりました。

Turtle Bay is quite a distance from Waikiki, so taking a tour is definitely the best option!

Old downtown on the North Shore was as lovely as the rumors suggested! The garlic shrimp, which you can reserve during the tour, was exquisite! After strolling through the town, we went horseback riding.

Since the horseback riding club is located within the Turtle Bay hotel, the horses were wonderful, and enjoying a ride on the private beach was an unforgettable experience! The location is truly deserving of being a filming site for various movies. All the horses were charming, and it was a satisfying long ride.

The tour guide provided a lot of insights about the buildings and behind-the-scenes stories along the Highway, and I thoroughly enjoyed their rich experience and knowledge!

Thanks to this tour, I got to know Hawaii beyond just Honolulu, and it was a wonderful experience that greatly exceeded my expectations.

Thank you!

タートルベイはワイキキからかなりの距離があるのでツアーが断然良いです！

ノースショアのold downtownは噂に違わず素敵な街並みでした！ツアー途中で予約受付してくれるガーリックシュリンプは絶品！街並みも散策してから、いざ乗馬に。

タートルベイのホテル内にある乗馬クラブなので馬も素晴らしくら何になりプライベートビーチを乗馬で楽しむのは変え難き経験でした！
さまざまな映画のロケ地になったのが納得のロケーションです。馬も皆チャーミングで納得のロングライドでした。

ツアーガイドの方はHighwayの途中、建物や裏話など色々ガイド頂き豊富なご経験、知識に楽しませて頂きました！

このツアーのお陰げてホノルルだけでは無い、ハワイを知れて、期待を大幅に超える素敵なツアーでした^ ^

ありがとうございました！

I had my first horseback riding experience with my 9-year-old son and my husband. My horse and my husband's horse were calm and followed the staff's horse, but there were times when my son's horse wouldn't move away from the line, which made me think that my son might have been a bit nervous, and that might have been communicated to the horse. The horses started walking at the staff's cue. We were able to leisurely explore nature and ride the horses, which was very soothing.

One disappointing thing was that the staff explained how to ride and the precautions in English, so I couldn't understand much. However, my son seemed to have enjoyed it and said he would like to ride again when we come back.

9歳の息子と主人と3人で初乗馬体験しました。
主人と私の馬は大人しく並んでスタッフの馬の後ろを付いていたが、
息子の馬が列を離れて動こうとは、しない事があったので少し息子も緊張してたのが馬にも伝わったのかなぁと思いました。スタッフの掛け声で馬は歩きだしました。自然の中をゆっくり見て回れて馬にも普通に乗れて癒されました。
残念な事は、スタッフが最初に乗り方や注意事項を説明されたが、英語だったので、あまり理解出来ませんでした。でも息子は、楽しかったみたいで又、来た時は乗りたいと云ってました。

I had been wanting to try skydiving for a while, and when I found out it was cheaper to do it here than in Japan, I decided to go for it! Since we met early in the morning and it was cold, it's better to avoid short sleeves. When I jumped, it was scarier than I expected, but I thought it was a great experience! Watching the video made me laugh multiple times, so I highly recommend it!

前々からスガイダイビングしてみたいと思っており、調べたら日本でするより安いので決めました！
早朝集合で寒いので半袖はやめた方がいいです。
飛んでみると、思ったより怖かったですがいい経験だと思いました！
ムービーを見ると何度も笑えてくるのでオススメです！

The view from the sky was amazing!! I want to do it again!! I felt like a bird flying right over the ocean!!

空からみる景色は最高でした！！
もう一度したいくらいです！！
海の真上を飛んで鳥になった気分でした！！

It was my second time diving, but it was my first experience at 14,000 feet. The free fall was long and incredibly fun. You absolutely have to try it!

人生２回目のダイビングでしたが
高度14,000ftは初体験でした
フリーフォールが長く めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。絶対にやるべき❗️

JC was a wonderful guide and super easy to hang with for our tour. Would definitely recommend!!

It was a wonderful stage! I'm glad I went! The fire dance was particularly impressive. Depending on the weather and the season, it can be a bit chilly, so I think a light jacket is essential. The cultural center had a great atmosphere, and I enjoyed the juice and various shops there.

Also, the student guide for the shuttle was skilled and taught us a lot about Hawaii, making the trip enjoyable!

ステキなステージでした！
行って良かったです！
特にファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。
観てる間は気候や時期にもよると思いますが、肌寒いので羽織ものは必須かと思います。
カルチャーセンターは雰囲気があって、ジュースや雑貨のお店などもあり楽しめました。

あと、送迎の学生さんのガイドが上手でハワイの知識を沢山教えてくれたので行き来も楽しかったです！

Thrilling and amazing! I was able to see landscapes I've never seen before in the great outdoors. It's okay if you don't understand English, but it might have been even more enjoyable if I could understand the staff's English... The apple bananas we had along the way were also delicious.

スリリングで最高！大自然の中で景色も今まで見たことないものを見られました。英語わからなくても大丈夫ですが、スタッフの方の英語がわかればもっと楽しかったかも…途中でいただいたアップルバナナなども美味しかったです
