All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The pickup was great, and the Japanese staff (students) provided very polite guidance, making it easy to participate. The night show was dynamic, but the kids got bored halfway through, so it might be more suitable for adults. It's a tour you should definitely experience at least once when you come to Hawaii!

ピックアップから園内と日本人スタッフ（学生）さんが大変丁寧に案内をしてくれて安心して参加出来ました♪夜のショーもダイナミックでしたが子供は途中で飽きてしまうので大人向きのツアーかな⁉ハワイに来たら一度は行くべきツアー
です◎

I was to scared to go but my friends and family had a great time. The staff was super friendly and understanding.

The instructor explained everything clearly, allowing us to enjoy the skies of Oahu without fear and have fun. We were also very satisfied with the videos and images.

インストラクターの方もわかりやすく教えてくれて恐怖もなく楽しくオアフ島の空を楽しむことが出来ました。
動画や画像も大満足です。

Great day at the north beach. We chose the waterfall hike as our activity in the morning. You could have done snorkelling or bike rides if preferred. We then had free time on waimea bay beach. In the afternoon we had a free lunch instead of doing another activity such as kayaking. Saw sea turtles at a beach on the way home

The guide lady on the way there talked a lot, which is understandable, but the driver was driving roughly with his elbow on the window and speeding. The car shook so much that it made me feel sick. The food and show were about what I expected. On the way back, they said they would check that everyone was on board before leaving, but the moment it was time, they took off without checking. As expected, someone who was supposed to get off at the Hilton wasn't on board. I wonder what happened... I might not go again.

行きの車内のガイドおばちゃんが良く喋るのは仕方ないが、
運転手が肩肘付きながらスピード出して運転が荒い。
気持ち悪くなるほど良く揺れる車もいまいち。
食事とショーはまあ予想通りのレベル。
帰りの車は全員乗車を確認してから出発すると言っていたのに
時間になった瞬間、確認もしないで急発進。
案の定、ヒルトンで降りる予定だった人が乗ってなかった。
どうなったんだろう。。。
次はないかな。

I was torn between Standard and Deluxe, but I'm glad I chose Deluxe!

I had a great view from the center of the third row. I could really appreciate the dancers' expressions, and I enjoyed the fire dance and the energetic hip-shaking dances. The stage was much larger than I expected, so I was happy to have a good seat. In the first half, various dances were performed in turns by several teams, and in the second half, it got even more exciting with fire dances. At the end of the show, the dancers came over to shake hands, and I was amazed by how muscular the main dancer was... Their palms were thick and hard, which surprised me. (laughs)

As for the food, I was able to enjoy a lot of meat, fish, salads, and desserts. The beef was thick yet tender, and I ended up going for seconds. I was wondering if I would get to try Kalua pig during my trip, but it was included in the buffet menu, so I unexpectedly got to enjoy it. The pork was light and delicious, with just the right amount of fat. The way my favorite dishes were piled high on a large plate felt like ordering from a restaurant, and I was very satisfied.

スタンダードかデラックスか、迷いましたがデラックスで良かったです！

ショーは前から３列目の真ん中で、じっくり鑑賞することができました。ダンサーの表情もよく見えたし、ファイヤーダンスや激しく腰を振るダンスもしっかり見えてとても楽しめました。ステージは思っていたよりも随分広かったので、良い席にしてもらえて良かったです。前半は色々なダンスを数人のチームに分かれて順繰りに披露という感じ、後半は火を使ったダンスも交えて盛り上がりました。ショーの最後にダンサーの方が握手に来てくれましたが、メインダンサーの方のムキムキ具合がすごかったです…手のひらも厚くて硬くてびっくりしました。笑

料理も、お肉お魚、サラダやスイーツもたくさん食べれました。ビーフが分厚いのに柔らかくておかわりする程、カルアピッグは旅行中食べれるかな～と思っていたら、ブッフェメニューに含まれていたので予定外に食べられました。脂のおちたあっさり目の豚肉でおいしかった^^好きなメニューを大皿にどっしり盛りつけた感じは、レストランで頼んだメニューのようで、満足ｄした。

It seems we didn't go up to 4000 meters, so we received a partial refund. The view from above was, of course, breathtaking, but the instructor who was in charge was really scary, and I was so tense that my whole body was stiff. Other instructors were much friendlier and smiled a lot, so it varies from person to person. I had planned to ask for photos since I was there, but I found out that each person had to pay individually instead of as a group, and it was quite expensive, so I gave up on that.

高度4000mには行かなかったようで、いくらか返金がありました。
上空からの景色はもちろん絶景ですが、担当して下さったインストラクターの方がとにかく怖くて、全身に力が入ってしまうほど緊張しました。他のインストラクターの方は笑顔も多くフレンドリーだったので、人それぞれですね。。
せっかくやるなら写真をお願いしようと思っていたのですが、1グループではなく1人1人でお金を支払わないといけなくて、高額なので断念しました。

We had an awesome driver named Allen who was hauling his way to get to the Polynesian cultural center even through the pouring rain. Even though we purchased the late night entry, we still had a great time with our tour guide and was able to go to a few of the more larger exhibits. Each land has their own exhibit, or a mini show varying from 15-30 minutes. My favorite was the Samoas. The dinner was a buffet style luau with the hula girls and boys, and the children. Half day is more than enough time to go through the park. There was also a canoe ride that operates every 15 min but we missed it since we were the last wave to enter the park. The show at the end called HA, the breathe of life was an amazing show!

This is my third visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The stories from the elderly guide on the shuttle bus were interesting. The dance show has also been renewed and was great. Last time it was fully booked, but this time there were many empty seats, and I could tell the guide was lamenting the lack of Japanese tourists. It might be inconvenient because it's far from Waikiki? However, if you use a tour like this one, you can go there with peace of mind.

　ポリネシア文化センターへは、3回目です。迎えのバスの年輩のガイドさんの話が面白かったです。ダンスシヨーもリニュアルされており良かったです。前回は満席でしたが、今回は空席が多数あり日本人観光客が少ないとガイドさんが嘆いていたのがわかりました。ワイキキから遠いので不便なのが原因かも？今回のようなツアーを利用すれば安心して行けますよ。

The guide was Japanese, and since it was a tour with only Japanese people, I enjoyed hearing various deep stories about Hawaii in the van. The guide was a great storyteller and a fun person.

On this day, the North Shore had high waves due to the typhoon, and it seemed that the turtles couldn't come up to the beach, so there were no turtles at Turtle Bay. However, they took us to another beach where we could see turtles on the way back!

For lunch, they took us to a recommended shrimp restaurant, and it was really delicious. The seaside horseback riding plan was just the right length at 45 minutes, and it felt great. The horses weren't startled by the sound of the waves, and they were all calm, but some horses got really into eating grass during the ride, which seemed challenging for the riders (laughs). The riders looked like they were having fun despite the struggles.

I think it's a tour that people of all ages, from children to the elderly, can enjoy.

ガイドさんは日本人で、日本人しかいないツアーだったので、バンの中でいろんなハワイのディープな話が聞けて楽しかったです。ガイドさんは話が上手で面白い人でした。

この日のノースショアは台風の影響で波が高く、亀が海岸に上がってこれないようで、タートルベイに亀がいませんでした。しかし、帰りに亀が見られる別の海岸に連れてってくれたので見ることができました！
お昼にはおすすめのシュリンプのお店にも連れて行ってもらったのですが、本当に美味しかったです。
海辺乗馬プランは45分とちょうど良い時間で、気持ちいいです。馬は波の音にも驚かないし、みんなおとなしいですが、馬によっては外乗の途中で草を夢中で食べてしまう奴がいて操作が大変そうでした(笑)乗っている人は苦労しつつそれなりに楽しそうでしたが。

子供から年配の人まで楽しめるツアーだと思います。

Not only was the horseback riding experience enjoyable, but I also got to visit Moanalua Gardens, Dole Plantation, and Haleiwa, which made for a fulfilling trip! Even though it wasn't part of the original plan, I was glad that I could also visit the North Shore Soap Factory and Honolulu Coffee upon request!

乗馬体験だけではなく、モアナルアガーテン・ドールプランテーション・ハレイワも行けて充実していました！当初の予定にはなかったにも関わらず、リクエストに応じてノースショアソープファクトリーやホノルルコーヒーも行けてよかったです！

Best experience ever. Highly recommended. I wasn't able to make Ultimate one due to the weather. Definitely will try that one again in the future.

It is a very special experience to see sharks that closely in the water. But you will get bored very soon since you'll see the same thing for the entire 20 mins.

Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable Y la guía que nos toco sabia mucho del tema y nos atendió excelente

Excellent guide, very knowledgeable about horses, Hawaiian scenery, and informative about Hawaiian economy. The ride itself was absolutely goregous and the beauty of the trail and ocean was so beautiful it is difficult to describe. Definately worth the money and a must if you are on the North Shore.
Only suggestion is that the address needs to be be more specific and signs would be nice.

Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable

Rained most of day, so sopping wet weather in water or not. Confusion all day about activities etc.

Gracias por hacer nuestra luna de miel perfecta con sus atenciones y la magia de estar en las alturas y las hermosas vistas que es una experiencia que no se compara con nada y esperamos volver para subirnos de nuevo gracias.

The park is worth to visit, food just ok but the show at night is so good and make the day worth it.

Wife and I loved this tour. She was nervous going into it but once we got out there and she saw the other two groups go in prior to ours it helped to calm her nerves. The crew was great and very knowledgeable about the area and what we were seeing.

We felt very safe the entire time and thought the water was so blue and clear. Visibility in the cage was about 100ft in either direction.

Only thing I would suggest is to make sure you take something for Motion sickness prior to going out like we did. There were several on the boat who got sick several times while we were stationary next to the cage and a few others that got sick while in the cage.

It was a bucket list item for us and we are so happy we did it. We also got their video package which was $75 for a SD card recording of our time in the cage.

The tour guide was not that good, spoke in a soft voice and let the passengers talk too much so it was hard to concentrate on what she was saying.

It's a once in a lifetime thing and it did not disappoint at all. Loved every minute of it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would love to jump again. Chico is great. Mahalo.

We started from Waikiki Beach and visited Hanauma Bay, Moanalua Gardens, Waimanalo Shopping Center, Dole Plantation, and Haleiwa in that order. We arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1 PM, where we spent the afternoon enjoying lunch, exploring the grounds, attending the dinner, and watching the light show until 9:30 PM. I think it was a very fulfilling tour.

ワイキキビーチから出発、次がハナウマ湾、モアナルアガーデン、ワイマナロショッピングセンター、ドールプランテーション、ハレイワの順番で回って、午後1時頃にポリネシアカルチャーセンターにたどり着き、ランチ、園内観光、デイナ、ライトショーを夜9時半まで園内で過ごしました。
とても充実したツアーだったと思います。

From my upbringing to my time in Hawaii.
This world is filled with meaningless bragging about money.
In the end, there was a flyer printed with my profile.

I wish they would let me sleep since it's so early in the morning...
I won't be using this service again. It's annoying!

Oh, but the skydiving itself was incredibly fun!! Otherwise, I wouldn't even want to give it a star!

自分の生い立ちから、ハワイに来てからのこと。
この世はお金だばかりの意味の分からない自慢話。
あげくは自分のプロフィールが印刷されたチラシ。

朝早いんだから寝かせて欲しい…
もう、この業者は使いません。
鬱陶しいわ！

あ。スカイダイビング自体は非常に楽しかったです！！
じゃなければ星すら付けたくない！

It was thrilling, and I was very satisfied to see the magnificent nature of Hawaii from the sky! I definitely want to do it again in Hawaii.

スリル満点でハワイの雄大な自然も空からみる事が出来て大満足！
またhawaii で絶対にやりたいです。

The day before had terrible weather, but on the day itself, it was clear with almost no clouds and no wind. I was quite lucky, arriving as the second group, so my turn came up quickly. (A few groups later, clouds started to appear. The photo is of the group that flew after me.)

Conversations with the instructors were only in English, but they were very considerate and helped ease my nerves, which gradually led to a sense of reassurance, making me feel like I could just leave it to them.

When it was finally my turn to dive, it was really up to the instructor's timing, so saying "wait a minute" doesn't work! It felt like being pushed off. However, the view was amazing, and I was captivated by the scenery, which naturally doubled my enjoyment.

Unlike the feeling of a roller coaster or an airplane, it felt like I was falling at a constant speed. My reactions became more like those of a foreigner. I might say that it felt scarier after the parachute opened. There were services that spun us around, and as we got closer to the ground, I started to feel the distance to the ground, which made it even scarier.

The impact when the parachute opened wasn't too strong, and I don't think it would hurt. When landing, you lift your legs, but if you land on the grass, your pants might get dirty, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Sturdy fabric clothing would be best.

The wait until the return time is due to the negative checks for those who ordered photos and videos. If someone in the same car ordered, you'll have to wait until their negative check is done. However, it's possible to ride back with another car that leaves earlier, so it’s a good idea to ask the driver. There's one person, an elderly man named Mickey Takahashi, who understands Japanese, so you might want to talk to him.

Photos and videos are expensive, but I think it's worth ordering them. Without them, the only proof of my jump would be a certificate, and I wouldn't be able to convey this amazing experience to my friends! It's about the same price as jumping again, but I think ordering them is a good idea. Otherwise, like me, you might regret not ordering them later.

It seems that some people cancel on the day. A few days before, I couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night, but after actually jumping, I felt I had an incredible experience that happens only a few times in a lifetime. I want to save up and go again.

For those who are hesitating! Definitely! Give it a try. You won't regret it!

前日は凄く天候が悪かったのですが、当日は快晴で雲もほとんど無く、風もありませんでした。
色々と運も良くて、到着して２組目で順番が廻ってきました。
（何組か後になると雲が出てきました。写真は私が飛んだ後の組の写真です。）
インストラクターの方々との会話は英語のみですが、色々と気を遣ってくれて緊張をほぐしてくれている感がとても伝わってきました。それが徐々に安心感に繋がり、後はお任せしようと思うようになりました。
いざダイブの順番がくると、事実上、インストラクターのタイミングでダイブするので、ちょっと待ってぇ～は通用しません！突き落とされる感じです。
でも、景色が素晴らしくて、周りの景色に目を奪われて、自然と楽しさが倍増してきました。
ジェットコースーターや飛行機の、あのフワッと感は全く無くて、一定の速度で落ちてる感じがありました。自然とリアクションも外人ぽっくなったりします。
どちらかと言うとパラシュートが開いてからの方が恐いかもしれません。
クルクル回るサービスがあったり、だんだん地上が近いづいてくると地上との距離感を感じてしまって、逆に恐くなってしまいます。
パラシュートが開いた瞬間の衝撃はあまり強くなくて、痛いと感じることはないと思います。
着地の時は足を上げて降りるのですが、芝生の上にお尻を着くとズボンが汚れるので、汚れても良い服装の方が良いと思います。丈夫な生地の服装が良いと思います。
帰りの時間まで待たされるのは写真やビデオを注文した人のネガチェックがあるからです。
一緒の車で来た人の中に注文した人がいれば、その人のネガチェックが終わるまでは待つ事になります。ただ、先に帰る車に同乗することも可能なので、ドライバーに聞いてみると良いと思います。１人だけミッキー高橋という日本語が分かるおじいさんがいるので、その人と話してみてください。
写真やビデオは高いですが注文した方が良いと思います。
無ければ自分が飛んだ証拠が証明書以外に無く、この感動を友人に話しても全く伝わりません！
もう一回飛ぶくらいの価格ですが注文して損は無いと思います。逆に後から注文しておけば良かった～などと私のように後悔してしまいます。

当日、ドタキャンする人もいるみたいです。私も数日まえからご飯が喉を通らなくなり、夜も眠れなくなりましたが、実際に飛んでみて、一生に何度と無い素晴らしい体験が出来たと思います。またお金を貯めて行ってみたいと思います。
迷っている方！是非！チャレンジしてみてください。絶対に損は無いです！

first of all, thanks for support and help for experiencing this amazing activity.
however, it seems that i lost my sunglasses there. So please check whether or not you have any missing sunglasses . If so, please keep it and contact me so that we could recieve it ASAP. it is very meaningful sunglasses to my wife.

your efforts and support would be appreciated.

thanks.

The guide talked non-stop on the way there (which is understandable since they are a guide), so I couldn't sleep. I thought it was just a transfer service without a guide, which was a bit stressful. The buffet meal was also disappointing. On the way back, we were told not to go to the restroom and to return to the bus immediately! So, I decided to leave a little before the end. I wish I had a bit more time to relax.

行きのガイドさんがずーっと喋っていたので（ガイドですから仕方ないのですが…）寝れませんでした。ガイド付きではなく送迎付きだと思っていたのでちょっとストレス…。バイキングの食事もイマイチ…。帰りはトイレなんて行かないですぐにバスに戻るように！と言われたのでラスト少し前に出ることに。もうちょっと余裕が欲しかったです…。

We participated in the 7 AM tour with transportation included as a couple. There was only one other Japanese couple besides us, and the rest were all foreigners.

When we arrived at the boarding area, we used the restroom on the hill nearby before getting on the boat. There are no restrooms or changing areas on the boat, so you have to change here. Also, before boarding, you need to take off your shoes and put them in a box, so it's better to wear sandals that you don't mind getting dirty.

The instructions on the boat are all in English, so if you can't understand English, you won't know what's being said at all. During our visit, there were no Japanese instructions available, but when entering the cage, they give you simple warnings in English, and they check your gear when you're wearing the snorkel, so I think you can still enjoy it safely even if you don't understand English.

We were divided into three groups of five, and when we arrived at the spot with the sharks, each group was called in turn to put on their snorkels and enter the cage.

I took motion sickness medication, but I ended up throwing up. After throwing up, I felt a bit better, and the sharks came closer (laughs). The boat rocked more after setting up the cage than during the movement. Even my husband, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up throwing up. There were people who looked exhausted and others who casually threw up, so I think it's best to prepare for seasickness. Also, it's better to go on an empty stomach.

The staff were very friendly and kind, checking on us when we were feeling seasick and giving us tissues after we threw up.

You can see a few sharks from the boat, but when you're in the cage, there are about ten sharks, and it was very exciting! When they come close, you can see their eyes and body wounds clearly. The cage sways, so it's fun to curl up and float while watching. Some people were sticking to the bottom of the cage to take photos.

I was really moved to see the sharks, but the nausea was a bit tough, so I gave it four stars.

送迎付きの7時の部に夫婦で参加しました。
私たち以外に1組だけ日本人がいましたが、その他は外国人ばかりでした。

乗り場に付いたら、乗り場付近の丘の上でトイレをすませてから船に乗ります。船の上にはトイレも着替える場所もありませんので、ここで着替えるしかありません。また、船に乗る前に靴を脱いで1つの箱に入れるので、汚れてもいいサンダルを履いていった方がいいです。
船上で説明を受けますが、すべて英語なので英語が聞き取れない人は何を言っているか全くわかりません。私たちの時は日本語の説明書もありませんでしたが、ケージに入る時には簡単な英語で注意してくれるし、シュノーケル着用時もチェックしてくれるので、英語がわからなくてもそれなりに安全に楽しめると思います。
5人ずつの３グループに分けられ、サメのいるスポットに到着するとグループごとに順番に呼ばれ、シュノーケルを付けてケージに入ります。


酔い止め薬を飲んで行きましたが、結局吐きました。吐くと少し楽になりますし、サメも寄ってきます(笑)。移動中よりケージを設置した後の船の方が揺れが激しいです。この時に船酔いしにくい夫も吐いていました。ぐったりして寝ている人や、クールな顔でさらっと吐いている人もいたので、船酔いする覚悟で行った方がいいと思います。あと空腹状態で行った方がいいです。
スタッフの人は船酔い時に心配してくれたり、吐いた後にティッシュをくれたりと、とても気さくで親切でした。


船の上からも少しサメが見えますが、ケージの中に入ると10匹くらいいて、とても興奮しました！たまに近づいてくると目や体の傷までよく見えます。ケージが揺れるので揺れに合わせて丸まって浮きながら見ていると楽です。ケージの下に張り付いて写真撮っている人もいました。

サメを見ることができて本当に感動したのですが、やはり吐き気が少しつらかったので星4つにしました。

The dance show features various costumes and dances from Polynesia, including not only Hawaii but also Tahiti, Tonga, and New Zealand, throughout its overall story. Above all, the quality of the dance is impressive! The large group performances are beautifully synchronized down to their fingertips. The men's fire dance was also powerful.

Since I participated in the standard tour, the meal was a bit simple, but the venue was magnificent, with a large painting covering the entire wall that was strong and emotional, leaving a lasting impression. Next time, I would like to participate not only in the dance show but also in the daytime tour of the park.

ダンスショーは全体的なストーリーを通して、ポリネシアン(ハワイだけでなく、タヒチやトンガ、ニュージーランドなど）の色々な衣装やダンスを見ることが出来ます。
何といっても圧巻なのはダンスの質の高さです！大人数の群舞が指先まで揃っていて綺麗です。男性の踊るファイアーダンスも迫力がありました。
スタンダード･ツアーで参加したのでお食事はちょっとシンプルでしたが、会場は壁全体に描かれた大きな絵が力強く、情緒があって、圧倒されるほど立派でした。
次回はダンスショーだけでなく昼からの園内ツアーにも参加したいと思っています。
