All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I signed up because I wanted to experience this at least once in my life! It felt more like flying in the sky than just falling from a Cessna! During free fall, the G-force was incredible, and the sound of the fall was intense! It was exhilarating and amazing☆

Since the temperature is low at high altitudes, I think it's better to wear thin long sleeves and long pants that block the wind! Those who participated in short sleeves and shorts said they felt frozen and lost sensation during the fall!

I think choosing a plan that included photo and video shooting was the right decision! It became a lifelong memory☆

Even though I don't understand English, there was an instructor who spoke Japanese, so I was able to experience it without any issues!

I highly recommend this as a once-in-a-lifetime experience☆

人生で一回は体験したいという思いから、申し込みました！
セスナから飛んで落下するというよりは、空を飛んでいる感覚でした！フリーフォール中は物凄いGがかかり、落下音が凄かったです！
気持ち良くて最高でした☆

上空は気温が低いので、風を通しにくい薄手の長袖と長ズボンがあったほうがいいと思います！
半袖、半ズボンで参加した人は落下中、凍りついて感覚がなくなったと言っていました！

写真と動画撮影付きのプランにして正解だったと思いました！一生の記念と思い出になりました☆

英語は分からなくても、日本語を話せるインストラクターがいたので安心して問題なく体験できました！

一生に一回の経験として、是非おすすめします☆

It was an incredibly kind and attentive service, and I had a very enjoyable buggy experience. The elevation changes were intense, and the ride was thrilling. It was an experience I definitely want to do again next time. The staff who assisted us were absolutely wonderful. Thank you very much.

最高に優しく丁寧に教えていただきサービス旺盛でとても楽しいバギー体験でした。高低差が激しく揺れが半端なく楽しめました。次回もまた絶対にやりたい体験でした。とにかく対応してくれたスタッフは最高の方でした。ありがとうございました。

The plan included a visit to the Dole Plantation, horseback riding, and sightseeing in Haleiwa. I thought the guide would just pick us up right near our hotel and take us by car, but instead, they shared a lot of history and local stories about Hawaii that we wouldn't have known otherwise. Honestly, it was worth the participation fee just for that.

At Dole, we had a short 30-minute visit, but I was able to shop and found unique items that aren't sold in Japan, which really excited me. The main horse experience was truly amazing. The waves at the North Shore looked like a painting. I was moved to think that such a beautiful place exists in this world.

Unfortunately, the horseback riding experience ran over time, so our sightseeing in Haleiwa was quite short, which was disappointing. However, I was able to enjoy delicious gelato and leisurely explore some cute shops, which was nice. I would love to take my time to explore more next time.

I had assumed that garlic shrimp was included in the course, so I was a bit disappointed to find out it was a separate course, but it was still so much fun that I would definitely do it again.

It was a day filled with awe in a world where there is still so much I don't know. Thank you, guide!

Doleプランテーション、乗馬、ハレイワ観光のプランでした。
泊まってるホテルのすぐ近くまでガイドさんが迎えに来てくれてそのまま車で送迎するのだけかと思いきや、この車に乗らないと知り得ることのできないハワイの歴史や現地の話をたくさん聞かせてくれました。もぉ、ここまでで参加費の価値あり。
Doleでは30分と言う短い時間でしたが買い物もでき、日本では売ってない雑貨と出会いテンション上がりました。
メインのお馬さんは本当に最高でした。
ノースショアの波は絵に描いたよう。この世にこんな美しい場所があるなんて…と感動でした。
乗馬体験がおしてしまったのもあったのでハレイワ観光の時間がとても短く残念でしたが、美味しいジェラート頂きながらゆっくり出来たし、かわいい雑貨店巡りもできてよかった。
次はゆっくり見てみたい。

ガーリックシュリンプがコースの中に含まれていると思い込んでいたので別コースだと知ってちょっとがっかりだだたけど、全然！！！それ以上に楽しかったからまたの機会に。


まだまだ自分の知らないことがたくさんある世界にただただ感動の1日でした。
ガイドさんありがとう

This was my third and final visit to the PCC over a period of thirty years . Unfortunately I was not feeling well on the day with a head cold . But I did manage to do all I wanted to.The film was great as also was the evening show
I will continue to have happy memories of my visits .You continue to provide the best

Our guide was prompt, courteous, and highly accommodating.

Over 50 years old, and my first skydiving experience!
It was a group trip, but I participated alone with transportation included.
I had seen various posts, so everything went smoothly from pickup to check-in, the dive, and back to the hotel.

Before jumping out of the Cessna, I was nervous and my legs were shaking, but once I was in the air, it was truly amazing.
It felt less like falling and more like floating. As I broke through the clouds and the parachute opened, I was completely captivated by the beauty of the Hawaiian scenery.
I was so excited that I couldn't stop shouting, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
The instructor was a nice guy who kept the energy up, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Initially, I had booked without a video, but I decided I wanted to have a record of it and purchased one on-site.
The price was high, but I was very satisfied.

I thought it might be my last chance to try this, but if I have the opportunity again, I definitely want to jump again.

Everyone was great! The staff and the horses. The trip totally made my day. The weather was great and trail was interesting. Good times. Thank you to Tori who was our trail guide. She seemed to know exactly what the horses needed and when

We had a great experience. The staff were exceptional. We highly recommend this activity!

The navigation system didn't pinpoint the location very well, and we searched quite a bit in the vicinity, but it was along the road, and we finally arrived. It's better to head there with a little extra time.

On the day of our visit, we ended up with a couple of foreigners, but there was one staff member accompanying each group, and my wife and I changed our departure time to go for a walk just the two of us.

We received a simple explanation in English on how to handle and ride the horses, and then we set off for the ride. We progressed slowly through the spacious grounds and also walked along the sandy beach by the coast. It was a relaxing horseback riding experience with great views.

ナビではなかなかピンポイントで到着せず、付近をかなり探しましたが、道路沿いにあり、何とか到着。少し余裕をもって向かった方が良いです。

当日は外人さんのカップルと一緒になりましたが、各グループに1人のスタッフが同行して、出発時間を変えて妻と私だけで散歩に出発。

簡単な馬の扱い方と乗り方を英語で説明して乗馬出発。
広々とした敷地内をゆっくりと進み、海岸沿いの砂浜も散歩。
のんびりと眺めの良い乗馬体験でした。

We participated in the tour as a family of three. Initially, we had booked for noon, but we received a recommendation from One Ocean to change it to 8 AM. There was no pick-up service, so we met at the location. The parking space at the harbor is spacious, so I don't think there will be any worries about parking. We met with the tour guide at the harbor, filled out a waiver, and boarded the boat. On the way to the shark point, there was an explanation of safety precautions regarding sharks, and we arrived at the point in about 30 minutes.

When my child shouted, "Shark!", I looked into the water and saw many sharks! It was a bit scary, but I trusted the explanation that there have been no accidents in the past 20 years and entered the water. The sharks were very calm, swimming gracefully, and they were beautiful. My impression of sharks has completely changed.

I wanted to see a tiger shark, but I was told that it wasn't the right season. However, we were able to see a whale, which is rarer than a tiger shark! It was a tour that left my child very satisfied. I would love to participate again. Additionally, for an extra fee of about $70, you can purchase a Go-Pro video. I would definitely like to join again!

家族3名でツアーに参加しました。最初に予約した時は昼12時で予約していましたが、ワンオーシャンから朝一がお勧めだと連絡があり、8時に変更しました。送迎はなく、現地集合です。ハーバーの駐車場スペースは広く、駐車場の心配はいらないと思います。ハーバーでツアーの方と待ち合わせして、誓約書を記入して、船に乗り込みます。サメのポイントへ向かう間に、サメの注意事項などの説明があり、30分ほどでポイントに到着です。
子供が「サメだ！」と叫んだので、海を覗くと、たくさんのサメがいます！
少し怖かったのですが、過去20年間、事故はないと言う説明を信じて、海へ入りました。
サメはとても落ち着いていて、泳ぎも優雅で、とても美しかったです。全くサメの印象は変わりました。
タイガーシャークを見たかったのですが、時期的に見れないとの事。しかし、タイガーシャークより希少なクジラを見る事ができました！
子供も大満足なツアーでした。また、参加したいと思います。また、追加料金70ドルほどで、Go-Proの動画を買う事もできます。また参加したいと思います！

I arrived earlier than my reserved time, but after checking in, I went straight into preparation, and before I knew it, the activity had started. The explanation was only in English, so if you don't understand English, you need to speak up; otherwise, it seemed like they would just leave without you. I was worried it might be dangerous, so I didn't let my child have a phone, but it seemed they had set aside time for photos in beautiful scenery at various points, so it would have been better to let them have it. There was an area where you could drive freely, and it seemed both adults and children (6th graders) found it fun, even though kids might fall over. While we were waiting, they also gave us juice and Honolulu cookies. It was a really scenic spot, and even while waiting, I was wandering around taking photos. It lasted about an hour, and I think it was very cost-effective. The staff were also very kind, and I was extremely satisfied.

予約時間より早く着きましたが、受付をすませたらそのまま準備に入り、気づいたらアクティビティが開始しました。
説明は英語のみなので、英語がわからなかったらアピールしないと、そのまま出発しそうな勢いでした。
危ないかな？と携帯を持たせなかったのですが、要所要所に素敵な風景の中、撮影時間をもうけていたようで、持たせた方がよかったです。
途中、自由に運転していいエリアがあり、子どもだと転んだりするので、そこが大人も子ども（小６）も面白かったようです。
待っているこちらにも、ジュースやホノルルクッキーをくれました。
すごく景色のよいところで、待っている間も、うろうろして撮影していました。だいたい１時間くらいあり、非常にコスパもよいと思います。
スタッフの方も非常に優しくて大満足でした。

We participated as a family of five. Our 8-year-old initially struggled as the horse was eating grass and not listening, but with the help of the guide, they quickly got used to it. It was a lot of fun and became the best memory of our trip to Hawaii.

家族5人で参加しました。
8歳の子は、最初は馬が草を食べたりして言うことを聞かず苦労していましたが、ガイドの方に手伝って頂き、すぐ慣れました。
とても楽しく、ハワイ旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

The pickup was on time. They announced it loudly, so I understood right away! During the transfer, the driver explained about the city as we went along.

For check-in, we operated the tablets individually, signed the consent form, and stored our luggage in lockers while we waited. It's best to put all your belongings in the locker! This includes hats and sunglasses!

The instructor helped us get our gear ready and taught us how to fly! I'm not very good at English, but the instructor mixed in some Japanese, which made it easy to understand.

Then, it was time to board the plane... The ascent was the most nerve-wracking part, but once we were flying, it felt amazing and was truly the best experience!!! My ears popped and hurt a bit, but afterward, it was average. I would definitely love to participate again if I have the chance.

ピックアップ時間通りでした。大きい声でアナウンスしてくれてたのですぐにわかりました！
移動中は、ドライバーさんが街のことを説明してくれながら向かいました。
チェックインは各自タブレットで操作をして、同意書にサインをし、ロッカーに荷物を入れ待機。
ロッカーへは全ての荷物を入れた方がいいです！
帽子やサングラスもです！
インストラクターの方が装備を整えてくれて、飛び方を教えてくれました！英語が苦手な私ですが、インストラクターの方が日本語を交えながら教えてくれたのでわかりやすかったです。
いざ、機内へ…
上がっていくのが1番ドキドキしましたが、飛んでしまえば気持ちよくて本当に最高でした！！！
耳がパチパチと痛くなりましたが、終わってからは平均でした。また機会があればぜひ参加したいです。

Really well maintained trail, gorgeous grounds and fun as they are single ATVS!!

The evening show was not a typical Hawaiian luau; it had a storyline that felt reminiscent of a performance by the Shiki Theatre Company in Japan. Compared to traditional ones, it had a stronger entertainment flair, but it was very enjoyable with a nice balance of laughter and emotion.

イブニングショーは典型的なハワイのルアウでなく、ストーリーがあり、日本で言えば劇団四季の様な演出に似たものを感じました。伝統的なものに比べれば演出色が強いエンターテイメントという感じですが、笑い、感動のメリハリがありとても楽しかったです。

Micki was a great tour guide! It was a beautiful experience with countless views. Handling a ATV is always a fun time. She also captured many pictures of us, made sure to get all the beautiful scenery all around us. I would absolutely recommend and cannot wait to come back!

The hula dance performance was amazing for both adults and children, and the story and songs were also excellent. I felt like I experienced the essence of a Polynesian show, which made me forget the three-hour round trip. My wife was also very satisfied.

大人から子供まで、フラダンスパホーマンス最高、ストリー、歌も最高でした。ポリネシアンショウの真髄をみれた感あり、往復の３時間を忘れさせてくれました。奥さんも大満足でした。

The feeling of falling to the bottom of the abyss is becoming addictive. Since the ground is far away, there's no sense of fear. If there were a place that was closer and cheaper, I might become a repeat visitor.

奈落の底に落ちる感じが癖になりそう。地面が遠いので恐怖感はない。もっと身近に、安く出来る所があればリピーターになってしまいそう。

In recent years, I've been going to Hawaii every year, but I couldn't go ziplining because my partner wasn't on board, which was frustrating. This time, we finally got to go together and had a great time.

We were part of a short tour with a group of seven people, including three Americans (a parent and child) and two young Asian women. One of the buggy drivers had studied in Japan and arranged for us to receive the photos he took via email (for free).

The only disappointing thing was that the longest line was closed. I want to challenge myself again.

ここ数年、毎年ハワイには行くものの連れ合いの賛同が得られずジップラインには行くことが出来ず辛い思いをしていました。
今回ようやく一緒に行ける事になり楽しんで来ました。
アメリカ人３人親子、アジア系のネイティブ若い女性２人組に私達の計７人でのショートツアー。
バギーの運転手の中に、日本で留学経験が有るスタッフがいて撮影してくれた写真をメールで送るように手配してくれました。（無料です。）
唯一残念だった事は、最長のラインが閉鎖されていたことです。
またチャレンジしたい。

I was looking forward to horseback riding and shopping in North Shore, but unfortunately, the weather turned bad, and I had to cancel the horseback riding. The roads became like rivers, so I ended up spending about three hours in a café. I definitely want to try again next time!

ノースショアで楽しみにしていた乗馬やお店回りでしたが
残念ながら、天候が崩れ、乗馬はキャンセル、お店回りも道路が川のようになり3時間ほど一つのカフェで過ごす羽目に(:_;)
次回是非、リベンジしたいです～

Fascinating to learn about different island cultures through dance, music, games and food. The fact the performers are from those islands amazed me. They are so proud of their island and culture and language. Wish I could go back a second day ( or open earlier) so I could see and play all the games.
The Ha… Breath of life show was stunning!

Fearful at first but the outstanding experience put everyone at ease! Highly recommended!

It takes just under an hour to arrive from Waikiki using Uber.

I participated with my family (ages 7 to 70). It was the 7-year-old's first time horse trekking, but the horse was very well-behaved and responded well to the reins. Along the course, there were cows and birds, and unfamiliar flowers were blooming, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely and relaxed conversation while taking in the sights. Photography and video recording are allowed, and since the pace is slow, it's definitely possible.

On the day we participated, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but all the staff were very kind, and we could communicate well through expressions and gestures. Large luggage can be stored at the reception, and you can participate while carrying a small crossbody bag. They take photos along the way, but you can download them later for a fee. The restroom with running water was clean, but it was unfortunate that there was no soap at the handwashing station.

There were dogs running freely, and goats and cows that you could feed, making the waiting time enjoyable.

ワイキキからUber利用で1時間弱で到着します。

家族(7歳〜70歳)で参加しました。7歳は初めてのホーストレッキングでしたが馬がお利口で手綱指示にしっかり応えてくれました。コースの途中で牛や鳥がいたり見慣れない花が咲いていて、それを見ながら会話できる位のんびりと安心して楽しめました。写真動画撮影は自由です。ゆっくり進むので充分可能です。

参加した日は日本語が通じる方は居ませんでしたが、スタッフ全員とても親切で表情とジェスチャーで充分通じます。大きな荷物は受付で預かってもらえ、斜めかけバッグ程度は持ったまま参加できました。途中で写真を撮ってくれますが後で有料ダウンロードです。水栓のトイレは綺麗でしたが手洗い場に石鹸が無いのが残念でした。

犬が自由に走り回っていたりヤギや牛がいてエサを買ってあげられるので待ち時間も楽しめました。

We enjoyed our excursion from the bus ride to the Polynesian Centre to the bus ride back to our hotel. Our driver's name was Misi! He went above and beyond what was expected of him.

The walk through the Centre was incredible. Seeing the different islands and cultures. We took a canoe ride after walking around for about 4 hours. It was a welcome relief getting of our feet.

Our tickets included the dinner buffet. There was so much food to choose from which made it difficult to try everything. It was good.

After dinner we watched the The Breath of Life which was incredibly good. The performance was amazing. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day.

The Cultural Center Island tour was full of amazing and helpful hosts and entertainers. I have never felt more welcome by so many people. To temper a few expectations some of the activities we expected to be interactive were instead demos by professionals only but we still had a blast doing the many activities that do allow participation and those alone filled a very full day of exploring the islands.

The Buffet was delicious had more foods than we could fit and incredibly welcoming atmosphere.

The HA Breath of life show was an amazing experience and some of the best fire spinning and hula and so much more you will get to see in Hawaii

Be warned: the gap of time between the closing of the cultural center and the opening for the final show is quite long (they do warn you about his on the bus and offer an early exit at 6pm if you decide before 4pm that you wont have the energy) but with that said it was well worth it and we were glad we stayed for the full show.

We did the advanced ride which allows for trotting and cantering in some spots on the way up the trail for more experienced riders. It was an amazing experience and we were pleasantly surprised with the diversity of the trail and how many times we were allowed to canter for stretches of trail where it's safe to do so. Our guide was on top of everything and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way.

Had a great time and conversation with our guide. A lovely relaxing paddle up the river filled with big adorable sea turtles. On the way back out, with lights on we got to watch schools of fish swim beneath the boards and I even got to see a baby Hammer head shark swim beneath me.

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

This activity is my favorite activity on Oahu. You start the paddle as the sun is setting, and end when it's dark. You are guided by LED lights on the bottom of the board, that illuminate the ocean below you. Making it visible to see so much sea life. On this paddle I have seen MANY turtles, manta rays, fish, jellyfish, and even small reef sharks (not to worry they are small and harmless).

This is truly a one of a kind experience that is so much fun! The guides are extremely knowledgeable of the area, and not to mention very personable. You can tell they love their job! They make sure everyone is comfortable and safe, which makes this tour so enjoyable.

No paddle board experience? No need, the guides will instruct you along the way, and make sure you don't feel pressured to do anything you don't want to do. I would recommend this paddle to any one who likes an adventure, or anyone who is looking to step outside of their comfort zone.

I really wanted to do this, so I participated alone. I had heard that it would be cold up in the air, so I wore a windbreaker, but I don't know how many minutes it took from when we descended until the parachute opened. The wind pressure made the zipper press against my throat, and it was uncomfortable. I should have worn a trainer. I couldn't fix it. You need to make sure to fit the goggles properly; otherwise, you'll end up like I did.

The journey in the sky became a rewarding time for myself, and I was glad I did it because the views of the sea, sky, and ground were beautiful.

どうしてもやりたくて1人で参加しました。
上空は寒いとの情報があり、ウィンドブレーカーを着ましたが、降りてからパラシュートが開くまで、何分かわかりませんが、風圧によりファスナーが喉を押し苦しかったです。トレーナーにすればよかった。直すに直せなかったです。ゴーグルにはしっかり肉を入れないと私みたいな状態になります。
空の旅は自分へのご褒美の時間となり、海、空、地上と景色がよくやってよかったです。

One of the reasons I wanted to go to Hawaii was to visit this place, but I could only make a reservation for January 1st, so I went by rental car. I was a bit anxious about driving, but the scenery along the way, with the North Shore coastline and the ocean, was incredibly beautiful. It took about an hour from Waikiki, but the zip line experience was amazing. We started with an easy zip line and gradually moved on to longer ones, reaching up to 800 meters, which was not scary at all and very enjoyable. The longest zip line offered a fantastic view of the North Shore ocean from a high point. I was able to get some great photos while zip lining. I participated with older children, and we all had a great time without any issues. The instructions were all in English, so there were a few things I didn't fully understand, but since the process was the same each time, it wasn't a problem. On the way back, we also stopped by Giovanni's, famous for its garlic shrimp, which became one of my best memories.

ハワイに行く目的の一つとしてここに行きたかったのですが、予約が１月１日しかとれず、レンタカーで行きました。レンタカーで行くのは不安でしたが、道中でノースショアの海岸や海に向けて広がる景色がすごく綺麗でよかったです。ワイキキからは１時間程度かかりましたが、ジップラインが最高でした。最初は簡単なジップラインから徐々に長いものに行き800メートルのところに行くので全然怖くなく楽しめました。最長のジップラインは高台からノースショアの海が見える最高の景色でした。そこでジップライン中の写真を撮っていただき最高の写真もゲットできました。高学年の子供連れで参加しましたが、問題なく楽しめました。説明はすべて英語なのでちょっとわからないところもありましたが、毎回やり方は同じなので、問題ないかなと。帰りにガーリックシュリンプの有名なジョバンニにもよれて最高の思い出の一つになりました。
