All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The guide was very talkative and shared a lot of interesting stories during the ride. They were considerate, and even though my English isn't great, I was able to enjoy the experience.

お話し好きなガイドさんで、車内ではずっとたくさんお話聞かせてくれて面白かったです。気の利く方で、英語が苦手でも楽しむことができました。

The guide and driver, Mr. Arai, was very polite and made the tour truly enjoyable and reassuring.

I will definitely repeat this tour when I come to Hawaii.

ガイド&運転手のアライさんが　とても丁寧に　対応して下さり　本当に安心して楽しめるツアーです。
　
　このツアーは　ハワイに来たら必ずリピートします。

I participated alone, and since I wasn't very good at English, I was a bit anxious. However, there was someone on-site who spoke Japanese, and they provided explanations and important information, which made me feel very relieved. Also, since I was alone, they were attentive to me, which was very helpful.

I chose the video and photo package with a photographer, and it was fantastic. If you want to create lasting memories, I think it's a great option. The price is high, but I definitely believe it's worth it! The instructor and the photographer were very lively and cheerful, and I had a fulfilling time. Especially, the photographer had excellent skills and captured the video beautifully, so thank you very much.

As for the skydiving itself, I can't find words other than "amazing." It felt incredible! While there is some fear, I think doing it as a life experience can be a great conversation starter and very interesting!

If I want to go skydiving in Hawaii again, I will definitely use this service! Thank you!

1人で参加しましたが、あまり英語が得意というわけでもなかったので不安でした。ですが、現地に日本語が喋れる方が1人いて、注意事項や説明などをしてくれてとても安心しました。また、1人で来ているということもあり気にかけて頂きとても助かりました。
ビデオ、写真撮影＋カメラマン同行を選びましたが最高でした。思い出に残すのであればとても良いと思います。値段は高いですが、それだけの価値は絶対にあると思います！インストラクターやカメラマンの方はとてもノリが良く陽気な方達で充実した時間を過ごすことができました。特にカメラマンの方の技術が高く、動画を上手く撮って頂き、ありがとうございました。
スカイダイビング自体は、最高以外の言葉が見つかりません。気持ち良すぎました！怖いのはありますが、人生経験としてやっておくと話のネタにもなりますし面白いと思います！
また、ハワイでスカイダイビングしたくなったら利用しようと思います！
ありがとうございました！

Skydiving, something I wanted to try since I was a child! Finally, in my 50s, I was able to experience it! It was an absolutely amazing experience. I couldn't speak English at all, but all the staff were kind, and there were Japanese staff members as well, so I was able to fly safely and enjoyably♪ THANK YOU SO MUCH!! From now on, I want to challenge myself to do solo dives!

子供の頃にやってみたいと思っていたスカイダイビング！50代にして、やっと体験出来ました！
とにかく最高の体験でした。
英語が全然話せませんでしたが、スタッフみんな親切で、日本人スタッフもいて、無事安全人気飛ぶことが出来ました♪THANK YOU SO MUCH！！
これから、ソロダイブ出来るようチャレンジしたいと思います！　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Hands down would do again! The luau was amazing, and everyone was so kind and worked so hard to put on an amazing show. We also got to swim in the falls which was amazing. Definitely recommend! If you're reading this, just book it. You won't regret it. It was also kid friendly. I took my 1 year old and everyone loved
him and took extra effort to involve him in the cultural activities.

We used this service for our honeymoon trip. I was anxious because I couldn't speak English, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, which was a great help.

For check-in, each person needs to register using a touch panel, so be careful about that. After checking in, you receive an original T-shirt. Even the smallest size, S, felt a bit large for women. After that, we stored our belongings in a locker and waited for the instructions. We had about a 45-minute wait. There were restrooms, vending machines, and a smoking area a bit further away.

After we were called, the instructor gave us a brief explanation and helped us put on the equipment. Then, we filmed a video in front of the Gojump flag before boarding the jet. The jet can hold about 16 people, so it feels cramped. Since the jet runs backward, those who get motion sickness might feel uneasy. It ascends to a considerable height in just a few minutes. They opened the window along the way to show us the view, which was amazing but a bit cold. Long sleeves and long pants might be better.

Once we reached the highest point, we jumped immediately. It might be good for those who are a bit scared since you jump before you can mentally prepare. At first, it’s a free fall, but it doesn’t feel like your insides are floating like on other thrill rides. It just feels like you’re resisting the wind, which is pleasant. I felt no fear at all. My husband, who has a fear of heights, said he wasn’t scared while flying (though he found the ascent in the jet scary).

After about two minutes of free fall, the parachute opens. During the free fall, the breathtaking scenery captures your attention, but after the parachute opens, you can relax and enjoy the view even more. You can see the ocean and all of Oahu, which is fantastic. Depending on the instructor, I was even allowed to steer the parachute a bit.

Experiencing the feeling of being a bird during the free fall and enjoying the wonderful scenery afterward creates unforgettable memories. Although it’s a bit pricey, this is an activity you should definitely try when you visit Hawaii. However, those who are prone to ear infections should be cautious, as the change in pressure might hurt their ears. (I had some trouble hearing for about three hours due to the pressure change, but my husband seemed fine.)

The photos and videos taken by the instructor were more plentiful than I expected and were fantastic. The pictures and videos were so great that they looked like composites. The round-trip transportation was also very convenient. On the way back, the bus driver played the ukulele, which was a nice touch.

新婚旅行で利用しました。
英語が話せないので不安でしたが、日本語が話せる受付の方がいて、説明してくれるので助かりました。
チェックインはタッチパネルで体験する人それぞれの登録が必要なので、注意です。
チェックインしたらオリジナルTシャツが貰えます。
女性は1番小さいSでも少し大きいくらいです。
その後持ち物をロッカーにしまい、案内があるまで待ちました。
私達は45分くらい待ち時間がありました。
トイレや自動販売機、少し離れたところに喫煙所などもありました。
案内された後は、担当の先生から簡単な説明と器具の装着がありました。
そしてGojumpの旗の前で動画撮影をした後、そのままジェット機に乗車。
ジェット機内に16人くらい入るので狭く感じます。
ジェット機は後ろ向きに走るので酔う人は酔うかも。
数分でかなりの高さまで浮上します。
途中窓を開けて景色を見せてくれました。
最高の景色でしたが、少し寒かったです。
長袖長ズボンの方がいいかも。
1番高いとこまで行ったらすぐにジャンプでした。
心の準備ができる前に飛ぶので、ビビりの人にはいいかも笑
最初はフリーフォールですが、絶叫系のような内蔵が浮く感じはありませんでした。
ひたすら風の抵抗を受けている感じで、気持ちいいです。
怖さはまったくありませんでした。
高所恐怖症の旦那も、飛んでる最中は怖くなかったとのこと。(ジェット機上昇中は怖かったらしいです。)
体感で2分くらいフリーフォールしたらパラシュートが開かれます。
フリーフォール中も素晴らしい景色に目を奪われますが、パラシュート後は心に余裕が生まれ、より景色を楽しめます。
海やオアフ島全域が見渡せ最高です。
インストラクターさん次第だと思いますが、私はパラシュートの操縦も少しやらせて貰えました。
フリーフォール中は鳥の気持ちを味わえ、パラシュート後も素晴らしい景色を堪能でき、一生の思い出になります。
少し値段は張りますが、ハワイに行った際は絶対に体験した方がいいアクティビティです。
ただ、中耳炎によくなる人は気圧の変化で耳を痛めるかもしれないので注意です。(私は気圧の変化で耳をやられ、3時間くらい耳の聞こえが悪くなりましたが、旦那はなんともなかったようです。)
インストラクターさんが撮ってくれる写真と動画も思っていたより盛りだくさんで、最高でした。
合成写真かと思うほど素晴らしい写真と動画が手に入ります。
行き帰りの送迎があるとこもとても便利でした。
帰りにはバスの運転手さんがウクレレ演奏をしてくれ、和みました。

The show was super entertaining! 10/10.
The food was fantastic and they don’t let you go hungry :). 10/10
The bar drinks were disappointing. We each had 2 and none were drinkable. 1/10

Experience was easily worth it for the money. Many other tour options in the area, but this one easily is the best for the price. The included photos & videos to allow you to be in the moment is a fantastic plus that I wish every company did for experiences like this. It allows you to still remember it without having cameras all over the place.I also highly recommend you forgo cage diving & instead do this type, it is a better experience.

The crew was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful & friendly. You can tell they love the experience & getting people to overcome their fears & have a great time. At no time during the whole swim did I feel unsafe. The divers did a great job of keeping everyone together & in a good area, and communicating necessary instructions. They did a remarkable job showcasing how misunderstood sharks are & once you get out swimming with them, it really does become apparent how calm they can be. They’re just as curious of us as we are of them.

I would do this experience again in a heartbeat.

Great place great atmosphere. Great people great view. We had an amazing time.

The buffet has a wide variety of dishes, but the meat is tough and the seafood seasoning doesn't suit Japanese tastes, so overall, it was disappointing. Honestly, it might have been better to skip the buffet and use nearby restaurants or food trucks. The presentation of the food was interesting, but the taste quality received low ratings even from middle and high school kids.

As for the show, I can recommend it for adults, but since it's conducted in Hawaiian and English, you would need a certain level of English listening skills and some prior knowledge of the story to fully understand and appreciate it. There was a mix-up, or perhaps there were empty seats, as I ended up in a gold seat instead of the bronze seat I was supposed to have, which was a nice surprise. It seems that the main audience consists of tourists from the mainland U.S., and it's not a tourist spot that particularly caters to Japanese visitors. Additionally, due to the timing and travel fatigue, the kids seemed to doze off and didn't appear to enjoy it much.

The air conditioning on the shuttle bus was extremely cold, even for someone like me who tends to get hot easily. It's essential to bring a jacket if you're taking the bus.

Regarding tipping the shuttle bus driver, I didn't give one this time. The driver on the way there was very engaging and kept the conversation in English enjoyable, so some travelers from the mainland did tip him. Since there were several Japanese tourists as well, I think it would be nice to tip if there were a bit more service geared towards Japanese visitors.

ビッフェの品数も多いのですが、肉類は硬く海鮮系の味付けも日本人には合わず全体的に期待できません。正直、勿体無いけどビッフェは捨てて、近隣のレストランやフードトラックを利用した方が良かったぐらいです。食事の見た目は珍しい物も多く良いのですが、味のクォリティは中高生の子供達からも評価は低かったです。
また、ショーは大人へはお勧めできますが、ハワイ語？と英語での進行ですので、ある程度の英語ヒアリング能力やストーリー内容の予習がないと理解と評価は格段に下がってしまうと思われます。手違いか、空席があったのかブロンズシートの筈が何故かゴールドシートの端になっていたのは有り難かったです。どちらかと言えばアメリカ本土からの観光客がメインで、日本人観光客を優遇してくれるような観光地ではありません。また時間帯の影響と旅の疲れで子供達はウトウトして余り楽しんだ様子はありませんでした。
送迎バスのエアコンがガンガンで、超暑がりの私でも凍える程でした。バスに乗られる方の上着持参は必須です。
個人的に気になった、送迎バスの運転手へのチップですが今回は渡していません。行きのバスの運転手は道中英語での会話で終始楽しませてくれる方なので、本土からの旅行者の中にはチップを渡していた方もいました。日本人観光客も複数組居ましたので、少々日本人向けのサービスでもあれば渡してあげれば良いと思います。

I made a reservation in the morning and had an experience.
First, regarding the start time, it's not a day off even if no one is there; it's just that the tour hasn't returned yet, so it's okay to wait. Hawaii is relaxed about time! Don't worry about it.
Children can ride alone, making it a great experience. You can leisurely sway on the horse and enjoy the nature of Hawaii.
Since you can't gallop, it might be a bit lacking for those seeking excitement, but the beach horseback riding was very nice.

午前中の申し込みをして体験しました。
まず開始時間ですが、誰もいない状態でもお休みではありません、ツアーから戻っていないだけで待っていればOKです、時間にはおおらかなハワイです！気にしないでください。
子供も一人で乗馬できるので良い体験になります、のんびり馬に揺られハワイの自然を満喫出来ます。
駆け足は出来ないので刺激が欲しい方には物足りないかもしれませんが、海辺の乗馬はとても良いものでした。

The location was a bit hard to find, but we were able to get there with the help of a taxi driver using Google Maps. I went with my family, and my college and high school kids also enjoyed it. We were able to take a leisurely stroll by the seaside, and it was a priceless time that created wonderful memories. There are only portable toilets, so I think it's better to take care of that beforehand. Bottled water and soda are sold in the waiting area, but they are a bit overpriced, so it's better to bring your own or take a tumbler. Valuables and bottled drinks can be placed in the horse's luggage pocket. Other bags can be left on the shelf in the waiting area, and there is no security for them.

場所が少しわかりにくかったけどタクシーの方にGoogleマップ見てもらって行けました。家族で行きましたが、大学生、高校生の子供達も楽しんでました。海辺をゆっくり散歩できて、とてもプライスレスな時間が過ごせていい思い出になりました。おトイレは簡易トイレしかないので済ませてきた方がいいと思います。ペットボトルのお水とソーダは数本待合室に売ってますが、割高なのでできれば持参かタンブラーを持って行った方が良いです。貴重品やペットボトルはお馬さんの荷物用ポケットに入れられます。その他のバッグは待合室の棚に置いておく感じでセキュリティ制はありません。

Relaxing horseback riding on the white sands of the North Shore. The horses were so smart, I can only say it was the best.

I have participated in other famous horseback riding programs in the past, but I preferred this one.

I'm worried that it might become too popular and hard to book, but it was absolutely amazing, so I highly recommend it to everyone.

ノースショアの白砂をゆったりと乗馬
馬もお利口さんで最高としか言いようが無いです

過去には他の有名な乗馬プランにも参加しましたが僕にはこちらの方が良かったです

人気が出過ぎて予約困難になるのが嫌ですが
とにかく最高でしたので皆さんも是非

The views were amazing & staff was super friendly! If you come early enough, be sure to check out the petting zoo after you check in. Will definitely be booking again and would absolutely recommend to friends and family.

Wonderful experience exploring North Shore mountain range, & explanation of what we were seeing flor and fauna. Especially enjoyed exploring the richness of the fertile land ️ scenery ⛰️, Mahalo!!

The zip line in the morning was wonderful, both the air and the scenery. My sixth-grade daughter also had a great time, sliding down on her own and even with the instructor since she's light. It was just an incredibly fun time that flew by.

朝一番のジップライン、空気も景色も素晴らしかったです。小学6年生の娘も、一人で滑ったり、軽いのでインストラクターの方と滑ったり、とにかく楽しい時間があっという間に過ぎました。

The food was amazing, the show was a class act, staff and service was excellent, very welcoming and respectful, it was though very far from Waikiki but overall a perfect ending to our vacation.

It was good, staff were okay, they had a private beach with amazing Mountain View. I wish they would let people gallop a little bit in the field instead of 45 minutes of strolling which is boring.

The view was great as we gradually descended from a high place. Additionally, with the help of the staff, we were able to enjoy ourselves. Although it was English-only, the staff demonstrated what to do, so there were no issues.

高所から徐々に降りてくるため景色は良かった
また、スタッフの助けもあり楽しく行えました。
英語オンリーですがスタッフの人が見本を見せてくれますので問題ありませんでした

This was our first zipline experience and it was so much fun!! Thank you to our amazing team that lead our group. They made it much more memorable . I would definitely recommend veltra for your zipline adventure!

Best experience ever!! Thank you gojump. Staff very fun, experienced, and professional

This tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Georgie was so knowledgeable and made the UTV tour so much fun!
Great adventure tour for those who like to really explore. You can tell this company is passionate about what they do! Best tour on the island by people who live and breathe it!

I have always wanted to try this, so I had been on simulation machines and even tried paragliding. However, due to my daughter's unexpected pregnancy, I ended up participating in the Hawaii trip alone instead of with her. I thought I would try something that I definitely couldn't do with a pregnant woman. Communicating in English? Hmm, I can manage to understand a bit. I figured I should just memorize the life-threatening words and joined solo (I’m quite the brave mom). Since I would want photos anyway, I made a reservation thinking I would jump from the sky in Hawaii, not from the stage at Kiyomizu Temple, and it was worth every penny—GO JUMP was amazing!

On the Cessna, there were five of us: a Japanese person, a family of three, and a young man who was on his honeymoon and was the only one to try it. We encouraged each other as the altitude kept rising, and I thought, "This looks like the view from a jet's small window!" I was both nervous and excited, and the high-energy instructor captured all our expressions perfectly. I thought it would be really scary, but before I knew it, I was PUSHed out and flying.

After that, I just enjoyed the incredible scenery, feeling like a bird, repeatedly saying "Amazing! Beautiful! The best!" in both Japanese and English, with clouds, the sea, and mountains beneath me! The moment the parachute opened and the spin before landing felt cooler than diving, but with the handsome instructor who does 5 to 10 jumps a day, I had no worries at all. I hate the feeling of a vertical drop attraction, but this was nothing like that. I struggled with ear pressure and my right ear became hard to hear, but it was fine after a night's sleep.

In the car on the way back, a man who said he had jumped yesterday exclaimed, "NOT FALL, FLY!" and he was absolutely right. It's not cheap, but I guarantee it's worth every penny. Thank you to all the staff for the amazing experience!

ずっと昔から一度やってみたくて、シミュレーションの機械に乗ってみたり、パラグライダー体験をいっちょかみしてみたりしていましたが、一緒に旅行する予定だった娘の急な妊娠で、急遽1人で参加することになったハワイ旅行だったので、妊婦を連れては絶対に出来ないことをしようと思ってトライしました。英語でコミニュケーション？うーん何とか聞き取れるか。命に関わる単語だけ覚え直しといたらええか、てな感じで単独参加（我ながら肝っ玉母ちゃん）。どうせ写真欲しくなるしな、清水の舞台じゃなくてハワイの空から飛び降りるつもりで予約しましたが、お値段以上GO JUMP、最高でした。セスナ同乗した日本人は私と、娘さんと3人のご家族、新婚旅行で新郎だけ挑戦した若者の計5名で励まし合いながら高度がどんどん上がり、こんなんジェット機から小さい窓で見る景色やん！と思いながら、ビビったりワクワクしたりの全ての表情をハイテンションのインストラクターがバッチリ撮影してくれてました。絶対怖いよな〜と思ってましたが、そんなん言う暇なくPUSHされて飛び出してました。
あとはもう、最高の景色と鳥の心になってひたすら「スゴイ！キレイ！最高！」と日本語と英語で繰り返し、雲も海も山も足下にある感覚！パラシュート開く時と、着地前の回旋がダイビングより冷やっとしたけど、多い時は1日5〜10回はJUMPするというイケメンインストラクターの優しくオモロいタンデムで何の不安もありませんでした。垂直落下アトラクションの内蔵が残る感覚は大嫌いだけど、これは全くありません。耳抜き下手くそで右耳が聞こえにくくなってしまったけど、一晩寝たら治りました。
迎えの車の中で昨日も飛んだと言う男性「NOT FALL, FLY!」と言うてはったけど、ホンマにその通りでした。安くはないけど、それだけの価値は絶対にあると保証します。
スタッフの皆様、最高の体験を有り難うございました‼︎

Really great evening and full day as well. full of island culture!

I am terrified of sharks but this tour completely changed my views! I had such a fun time and I would do it with this company again as they took great care of my fear and made it comfort.

Wasn't quite sure what to expect when you hear you're swimming with sharks without a cage. It was a very neat experience. The sharks pretty much stay below you. The crew does a good job of explaining their behavior and what to do around them. The crew was very knowledgable and made the tour exciting. I think the only thing I would change is maybe running the line that everyone hangs onto away from the boat. I felt like at times the waves would bring me back into the boat. It would be nice to just float on the surface away from the boat. But it was still very cool, the crew lets you go out and dive down and "hang" with the sharks for a little bit. Definitely a bucket list item. Would suggest brining your own snorkel gear if you find it hard to fit rentals. Bring a GoPro too! But if you forget, they're taking video and pics of everyone the whole time! Other than that, book it and go have fun!! Well worth the time and money!!

The ride from Disney Aulani was awesome, as we had our own car..

Both the staff and animals welcomed us as we arrived, my kids enjoyed feeding the animals so much they asked to go back.

The ATV tour was fun, the racing around the track was exhilarating for all of us. The dirt/mud is something that needs to be prepared for. Wear dark/older clothes if possible.

The photo package was worth it. Ask questions, learn from the locals, tear it up.

I signed up for the local meet-up and drop-off with a T-shirt included. Most of the staff didn't speak much Japanese, but we managed. Due to bad weather, I received a cancellation notice via phone and email the day before, but after some correspondence through email, we were able to reschedule and successfully go up. The staff were very kind and attentive.

On the day, the weather was great, and I got to see the most amazing views; it was an out-of-this-world experience and so much fun. Once the parachute opened, I was tossed around, so it's better to scream and enjoy rather than stay quiet to avoid getting nauseous.

There was a notice to wear long pants in advance, but it was fine to wear shorts at your own risk. Initially, I didn't sign up for photos and videos, but they will definitely take some just in case, and later, an edited sample will be sent to you via email. You can still purchase the photo and video data after seeing the sample. I bought it later.

One downside was that the included T-shirt was only available in foreign size XXL, which was too big to even use as sleepwear. Due to the weak yen and rising prices, it has become quite expensive compared to before, but I would love to fly again if I get the chance.

現地集合解散のＴシャツ付きに申し込みました。
ほとんど日本語は通じませんがなんとかなりました。天候不良で前日に電話＆メールでキャンセル連絡がありましたがメールでのやり取りで日程変更し、無事に飛ぶ事が出来ました。スタッフの方はとても親切丁寧でした。
当日は天気も良くて最高の景色も見られましたし異次元の体験で楽しかったです。パラシュートが開いた後は振り回されますので黙らないでキャーキャー騒いじゃったほうが酔わないですよ。
事前に長ズボン着用の案内がありましたが自己責任で短パンでも大丈夫でした。
最初に写真＆動画を申し込まなくでも念のため必ず撮影してくれて、後程、編集されたサンプルがメールで送られてきます。それを見た後でも写真＆動画データを買うことも出来ます。私は後から買いました。
ちょっと残念だったのは、付いているＴシャツが外国サイズのＸＸＬしか残って無くで寝間着にもならないことでした。
円安＆物価高で以前よりは随分と高額になりましたが機会があればまた飛びたいです。

I was considering going with another skydiving company, but they didn't offer transportation, and when I asked their partner company, they said they couldn't operate due to not reaching the minimum number of participants, so I couldn't go on my own. That's why I quickly signed up here.

It was mentioned that there could be a wait time of several hours, but we gathered before 9 AM, arrived in 50 minutes from Waikiki, and once we got there, I checked in on a tablet myself. They gave me four quarters for the $1 locker fee, and after putting my belongings in, I quickly got ready and boarded the plane. It was so fast that I didn't even have time to mentally prepare, and before I knew it, we were flying! We were back in Waikiki by 12:30.

We didn't watch any explanatory videos, and there was only a brief explanation from the instructor in English with gestures, but everything went smoothly! It became a great memory, and I was able to make good use of my afternoon time, which was really nice. I also needed to tip the instructor and the driver for the transportation.

他のスカイダイビングの会社で行こうと考えてましたが、送迎がなく、提携会社に尋ねても最少催行人数に達しないから行けないとのことで、自力で行くことも出来なかった為、急遽こちらで申し込みました。

待ち時間が数時間かかることもあると書かれてましたが、９時前に集合し、ワイキキから50分で到着し、着いたらタブレットで自分でチェックインし、ロッカー代の１ドル分クォーター４枚を下さり、荷物を入れたらすぐに支度をして飛行機に乗り込みました。心の準備が出来ないくらい早くて、あっという間に飛びました！
12:30にはワイキキに戻ってこられました。

説明のビデオなども見せられず、インストラクターさんの英語とジェスチャーでの説明が少しあっただけでしたが、何事もなく飛べました！
いい思い出になり、午後の時間も有効に使うことができ、とっても良かったです。
インストラクターさんと送迎のドライバーさんにもチップが必要でした。

Daddy/ daughter time horseback riding. I asked my daughter tonight on our last day of our vacation. What is your favorite on all our activities, she said Gunstock Ranch Horse back. I agree with her also. Recommended to do it when you go to OAHU… they are not as crowded like the other ranch near by… also for the money spend,
Friendly staffers.
