All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

We decided to take on skydiving, a dream we've had as a couple for many years. Go Jump, which has been featured on TV programs in Japan, has instructors who are incredibly friendly and kind, making it easy to trust them even for a first-time challenge. The check-in process at the front was very smooth. We received the photos and videos we had pre-ordered via email, allowing us to enjoy the experience from start to finish. We are truly grateful to everyone at Go Jump.

夫婦で長年の夢だったスカイダイビングを挑戦することに。日本国内でもテレビ番組で放送されたことのあるGo Jumpは、インストラクターの皆さんがとにかくフレンドリーで優しく、初めてのチャレンジでも安心して身を任せることができました。フロントでの受付もとてもスムーズです。前もって申し込んでいた写真や動画をメールで頂き、最初から最後まで心から楽しめました。Go Jumpの皆さんに心から感謝しています。

You should try skydiving at least once in your life! I wanted to create the best memories in Hawaii, so I booked a skydiving experience. I had watched videos on YouTube beforehand, but it was much scarier than I had imagined. It became a lifelong memory!

一生に一度はスカイダイビングを！
ハワイで最高の思い出を作りたい！
と思い、スカイダイビングを予約しました。事前にyoutubeなどで動画を観ていましたが、想像してたよりもずっと怖かったです。一生の思い出になりました！

Experiencing skydiving in Hawaii, something I've always wanted to do, was amazing! 😊 From the very beginning, I felt no fear at all, only excitement, and when I jumped, the view opened up and the fun doubled! The instructor kept the energy high before the jump, during the flight, and after landing, which was absolutely fantastic!

There wasn't much waiting time, and although there were some clouds, the weather was good! In fact, jumping from above the clouds allowed for the rare experience of bursting through the clouds during free fall and then seeing the view spread out before me, which was great!

I will definitely come back to dive again! 🪂

ずっとやりたいと思っていたスカイダイビングをハワイという地で体験出来て最高でした😊
自分の場合最初から怖さは全くなく楽しみしかなくていざ飛んだ時にブワって景色が見えて楽しさがさらに倍増しました！
インストラクターも飛ぶ前からセスナの中、飛んでる間、飛んだ後もすごくテンションを上げてくれてめちゃくちゃ最高だった！

待ち時間もそこまでなく、雲は多少あったのですが、天気は良かったです！
でも逆に雲の上から飛ぶので、フリーフォールで雲の中を抜けた後に景色がブワって広がる貴重な体験が出来たので良かったです！

また絶対ダイブしにきます🪂

I was very, very satisfied with the experience. Thank you very much. The horse was gentle and made me feel safe. It seems that a family participating in the same tour accidentally got on a different tour's vehicle, which delayed our departure by about 30 minutes, resulting in a shorter stay at Dole Plantation, and that was disappointing.

とてもとても満足な内容でした。
有難うございます。
馬は大人しいし安心です。
同じツアーに参加のご家族が　違うツアーの車に乗ってしまったようで　３０分程出発が遅れ　ドールプランテーションの滞在が少なくなり　そこが残念でした。

You can see the culture and dances of the region in each section. It was fun just being there! I accidentally forgot to book the evening luau, so next time I want to see it with the luau included.

セクションごとにその地域の文化や踊りを見ることができる。
いるだけで楽しかった！
間違えて夜のルアウを予約し忘れてしまったので次回はルアウ付きで見たい

It was a wonderful tour where I could fully enjoy the nature, culture, and local flavors of Hawaii. I had a great experience!

Thanks to the precise advice given after asking what I wanted to do at each location, I truly had no wasted time and was able to enjoy everything I wanted to do.

The pineapple I received as a souvenir was cut and eaten fresh with my child at the condominium, and we also enjoyed it as frozen pineapple.

I was worried about whether we could finish it, but it was so delicious that we quickly finished one! At this rate, it seems like it will be gone by tomorrow, haha.

I will definitely repeat this experience!!!

ハワイの自然、文化、そして地元の味を存分に楽しめた素晴らしいツアーでした。大変良い体験をしました！
それぞれの場所で何をしたいのか質問して下さり、的確なアドバイスをして頂いたおかげで本当に無駄な時間がなく、かつ全てやりたい事は満喫する事ができました♪
お土産で頂いたパイナップルはコンドミニアムで子供とカットして生で食べたり、冷凍パインにして楽しみました(*^^*)
食べきれるか心配でしたが、あまりの美味しさにあっという間に１つ完食！！
このペースで食べたら明日にはなくなりそうです笑
絶対リピートします！！！

The doll factory tour was overwhelming with its vast pineapple fields, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of nature. The guide's explanations were very clear, and I learned a lot of things I didn't know about how pineapples grow and their history!

What impressed me the most was how kind the guide was! Whenever I asked questions, they answered patiently and greeted me with a smile, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

I gained knowledge, was healed by the scenery, and it was a truly satisfying experience.

Additionally, the sightseeing in Haleiwa Town, downtown, and the macadamia nut outlet was well-timed, allowing us to enjoy the attractions while also having enough time to explore the town freely.

I've been to Hawaii many times, but there were so many new discoveries, and it was fun! I highly recommend it to both first-timers and those who have been here multiple times!

ドール工場見学は、広大なパイナップル畑に圧倒され、自然の美しさを満喫。ガイドさんの説明もとてもわかりやすくて、パイナップルの育ち方や歴史など、知らなかったことをたくさん学べました！
何より印象的だったのは、ガイドさんがとても親切だったこと！
わからないことを聞いたら丁寧に教えてくれて、笑顔で接してくれるので、より楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
知識も増えて、景色にも癒やされて、大満足の体験でした。
その他、ハレイワタウンやダウンタウン、マカダミアナッツアウトレットなどの観光も、ツアーの時間配分も良く、観光スポットをじっくり楽しみつつ、自由に町を探索できる時間がちょうど良かったです。
ハワイには何度も来ていますが、新しい発見がたくさんあり楽しかったです(*^^*)
初めての方にも何度も来ている方にもとてもオススメです！

We participated with children aged 7, 12, and 14. The kids were able to participate safely and had a lot of fun. Although the explanations were in English, there were also materials available in Japanese.

During our time, a Japanese captain kindly taught us various things. We were quite anxious, but we were all very satisfied, including the children.

子供7.12.14歳含めて参加しました。
子供達も安全に参加することができ、とても楽しめました。
英語での説明でしたが、日本語での説明資料もありました。

私どもの時は日本の方が船長さんで親切に色々教えていただき
不安いっぱいでしたが、子供含めて大満足です。

My family and I enjoyed the ATV adventure! Today is our last day here in Hawaii but we are leaving so happy with some fun experiences! The tour guides “ the girls” were so nice and explained to us the story of the place and feeding the animals was so cute we really loved it🤩 until next time Hawaii 🌺Mahalo🙌😎

I have been interested in this for 40 years, and now that I'm turning 60 next year, I've made up my mind to try it. Honestly, I thought it would be absolutely impossible to jump from such a high place because it scared me, but once I actually did it, I awakened to a new perspective on life. I will do it again next year. There is no experience quite like this!

Osakasayama City.

40年前から興味はあったのでやってみたいと思いつつ来年60歳になるんで覚悟決めました。あんな高い所から飛ぶなんて正直怖くて絶対に無理と思ってましたがいざやってみると人生感覚に目覚めます。又来年もやります。こんな素晴らしい体験は無いでね〜

I've wanted to try skydiving for many years, and this year I decided to take the plunge with my wife. We were picked up from our hotel, and the tension started in the car. On the day of the jump, the weather was perfect. I ended up upgrading from 14,000 feet to 18,000 feet without thinking twice.

The result was absolutely right. A world beyond my imagination unfolded, and it was a dreamlike experience. I had requested a video, and I've watched it multiple times, reliving that excitement. Along with the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, it has become a lifelong memory for me.

長年やってみたいと思っていたスカイダイビング。思い切って今年は妻とチャレンジすることにしました。ホテルに迎えにきていただき、車の中から緊張感が始まりました。当日は、最高の天気。思わず14000フィートから18000へグレードアップしてしまいました。
結果は大正解。想像以上の別世界が広がり、夢のような時間でした。ビデオをお願いしていましたが、何度も見返し、あの感動が蘇りました。ハワイの素敵な景色と共に、私の一生の思い出になりました。

The crew was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the sharks and ocean life!! A win!

brought my daughter and her high school senior girlfriends and they said this course was just unreal - amazing view!

I participated in the Haleiwa walking tour.
The flow was from Dole Plantation to exploring Haleiwa. Due to multiple courses sharing the same shuttle, the stay at Dole Plantation was only 30 minutes. I hurried through shopping and had some soft serve ice cream, so it would have been nice to have about 15 more minutes there.
The time spent exploring Haleiwa was a generous 4 hours, which was just right for enjoying the ocean, visiting cafes, and having lunch.
Gem, who provided the shuttle service, was very knowledgeable and shared information about Hawaii's history, climate, and other interesting facts along the way, which was extremely educational!

ハレイワ散策コースに参加しました。
Dole プランテーション→ハレイワ散策という流れでした。同じ送迎車複数のコースの方がいらっしゃる関係でDole プランテーションの滞在時間が30分でした。駆け足でショッピングをしソフトクリームを食べたので、あと15分くらい滞在時間があったらよかったです。
ハレイワ散策はたっぷり4時間あり、海を見たりカフェに行ったり、ランチをしたりして過ごすとちょうど良かったです。
送迎をしてくださったGemさんはとでも知識豊富でハワイの歴史や気候、そのほか他人に教えてくなるようなハワイについての情報を道中で教えてくださり、非常に勉強になりました！

I couldn't find the sign listed on the website, but there was a similar sign for "Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides" nearby. When I went inside to ask, they confirmed that this was the right place. It might be better to aim for this name from the start.

I had heard from reviews that there would be Japanese guidance available, but I couldn't find any, and all the explanations were in English. I was quite anxious since there were only foreign customers, but the operation was easy, and the staff were kind, so I was able to ride without any worries.

We walked through the pine forest right next to the coast, and occasionally, we got to walk on the beach, making for a fantastic location throughout the experience. They also take photos when you reach the beach.

I think this is an activity that you absolutely must experience when you come to Hawaii. I highly recommend it! (However, I think it may not be suitable for those who are experienced riders and want to run or perform advanced maneuvers, as it is a slow-paced ride.)

サイトに載っている看板は見当たらず、よく似た名前の「Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides」という看板がすぐ近くにあり、中に入って聞いてみるとここで合っているとの事。最初からこの名前の看板を目掛けて行った方がいいかもしれません。
あと口コミで日本語の案内が置いてあると聞いていましたがどこにも無く、説明も全てオールイングリッシュ、外国のお客さんばかりで不安でいっぱいでしたが、操作も簡単でスタッフの方も優しく、何も心配なく乗ることができました。
海岸すぐ横の松林を歩き、たまに広いビーチになるとビーチを歩く瞬間もあり、終始最高のロケーションの中楽しく過ごすことができました。
途中ビーチに出た時に写真も撮ってくれます。
ハワイに来たら絶対に体験した方がいいアクティビティだと思います。
本当にオススメです！！(但し乗馬に慣れていて自分で走らせたり上級の操作をしたい方には不向きだと思います…終始ゆっくりゆっくり歩くだけなので^^;)

The guys were great, there were a ton of sharks. Just wish they would have given a little bit of instruction as to the use of the snorkel. I spent a fair amount of time afraid I wasn’t using it properly and would inhale the water. Otherwise it was a super experience! I would definitely recommend Hawaii Shark Experience.

There was no turbulence on the flight, and before I knew it, I was up in the sky! After arriving, I was quickly dropped off, and after enjoying the breathtaking views, I found myself back on the ground in no time! It was a valuable experience, and I had so much fun! I want to fly again and again!

飛行機の揺れがなくあっという間に空の上だった！着いてからはポンポン落とされ、絶景を満喫したらあっという間に地上にいた！貴重な経験で本当に楽しかった！また何回でも飛びたい！

This tour is a must our tour guide/ Bus Driver Bill was Fantastic and Awesome!! The entire tour was great will definitely use you guys again

I'm glad I took on the challenge despite my anxiety! I want to try skydiving again from a higher altitude! The instructor was very kind as well. The local fuel surcharge could be paid by credit card.

不安もありつつ挑戦してよかったです！またスカイダイビングもっと高度なところから挑戦したいです！インストラクターさんもとても親切でした。
現地払いの燃油サーチャージはクレジットカード支払いできました。

Last year, I participated in a different tour in Haleiwa, which was fun but lacked enough time. This year, I'm making a comeback! I joined a tour that allows for plenty of time. We started early in the morning, and fortunately, there was only one group, so I was lucky to have the mini tour scheduled first.

I want to go to Hawaii again.

昨年、ハレイワの
こちらとは内容が違うツアーに参加しましたが
楽しかったのですが時間が足りず
今年はリベンジ！たっぷり時間を取れるツアーに参加しました。
朝早くから動け、幸い１組しか居ないため
ミニツアーを頭に持ってきて頂きラッキーでした。

また、ハワイに行きたいです。

A little before my trip to Hawaii, I saw it on TV and decided to sign up for skydiving. They took us from Waikiki by shuttle bus, and the cheerful driver gave us a boost of energy. Upon arrival, we received various explanations and then took a jet up into the sky! Both the instructor and the cameraman were high-energy, which helped alleviate any fear! The view of the Earth from above was round and beautiful, and it was indescribable... I was simply moved! Skydiving was something I wanted to experience at least once in my life! I'm so glad I did it! Thank you very much.

ハワイ旅行にいく少し前にテレビで見て、スカイダイビングをしたいと思い申し込みをしました。ワイキキの街からシャトルバスで連れて行ってくれて、明るい運転手さんに元気をもらいました。到着して、色々と説明を受けて、ジェット機てわ空の上へ！インストラクターもカメラマンもハイテンションで、怖さを吹っ飛ばしてくれました！空の上からみた地球は丸くてきれいで何とも言えない・・・ただただ感動しました！人生で一度は経験したかったスカイダイビング！やってよかったです！ありがとうございました。

The staff was amazing. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They helped make our experience most enjoyable and memorable.
We saw more turtles than we could imagine! They were constantly sticking their heads above water as if they were greeting us.
The waters were calm and the kayaks and paddle boards were well maintained.
I highly recommend this activity with Sea and Board Sports Hawaii in Haleiwa. I give them a 10 out of 10.

Skydiving was something I had always wanted to try. As soon as my trip to Hawaii was confirmed, I signed up right away. I chose the 8 AM slot because I read in a review that "if the previous flight is delayed, it can get late in the afternoon." I gathered at 6:40 AM. I had checked the meeting place a few days prior and arrived 15 minutes early. The bus arrived about five minutes later. It has the "GO JUMP" logo, so it's easy to spot.

There were 11 people on the bus, including five Japanese. After getting off the bus, we entered the waiver on an iPad. We consulted with each other and managed to complete it without any issues. We paired up with an instructor, and about four pairs at a time boarded the Cessna.

It seemed like there was only one Cessna, so the second group boarded after the first group came down. I was in the third group because I was slow with the iPad input. It took about an hour and a half from getting off the bus to boarding the Cessna.

The time spent on the Cessna was the most nerve-wracking. Once you jump out, the breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains completely erase any fear. The moment the parachute opens, you go up a bit, which makes you go "wow," but after that, you float down gently. Occasionally, the instructor would maneuver and spin us around, which was both scary and fun.

On the way back, my friend picked me up in a rental car, so I was able to get a shot of my landing. In the end, being in the third group turned out to be a good thing.

一度はしてみたかったスカイダイビング。ハワイ行きが決まってすぐに申し込みました。
「午後は前の便がおすと遅くなることもある」と体験談にあったので、8時便に。6時40分集合でした。集合場所は数日前に下見をしておき、15分前に到着。その5分後にバスも来ました。「GO JUNMP」のロゴが書いてあるので、すぐに分かります。
バスには日本人5名を含む11名が乗車。バスを降りてiPadで免責同意書を入力します。日本人同士で相談しあって、無事に入力。
インストラクターと2人1組で4組ずつくらいがセスナに乗ります。
セスナは1台のようで、1番目の組が降りてきてから2番目の組が乗り込む感じです。私はiPadの入力が遅かったので3組目。
バスを降りてから、セスナに乗るまで1時間半くらいかかりました。
セスナに乗ってる時間が一番緊張します。セスナから飛び降りてしまえば、海と山の景色の素晴らしさで恐怖心は全くないです。
パラシュートを開く瞬間が一度上に上がるので、「うわっ」と思いますが、その後は、ふわふわと降りていきます。
時折、インストラクターが操作してクルクル回ってくれて、怖楽しかったです。
帰りはレンタカーで友人が迎えに来てくれていたので、ちょうど、降りてくるのを撮影してもらえました。結果的に3組目で良かったです。

The view of the blue sea of the North Shore from the height of the horse's back was amazing. I was worried that a long horseback ride might get boring, but the time flew by quickly.

馬の背の高さから眺めるノースショアの碧い海、最高でした。
長時間の乗馬、飽きないかなぁ？と心配してましたが、あっというまに過ぎた乗馬の時間でした。

I participated in the 6:30 AM tour. I was more worried about seasickness than the sharks, as I had read in reviews that it could be severe. In the end, the boat and the cage did sway, but perhaps because it was morning, I managed to cope with the slight rocking. On the way back, I dozed off, but my child said they saw dolphins.

Regarding the number of sharks, I thought I wouldn't see many, but it seems there is a way to attract them, and we were able to see quite a few. The moment I first saw the silhouette glowing in fluorescent colors from the sunrise above the boat was the scariest, but since the sharks weren't charging at the cage, I was reasonably satisfied.

Additionally, I brought my own snorkeling set, as mentioned in the reviews. I also got to see the beautiful morning scenery of the North and saw plenty of sharks, so I was very satisfied with this experience.

朝6:30のツアーに参加しました。
口コミより、船酔いがひどいとあったので鮫よりもそちらの心配ばかりしていました。
結果、船もゲージも確かに揺れはしましたが朝だったおかげか多少の揺れで乗り切れました。帰りは居眠りしていたのですが、子どもが言うにはイルカも見えたようです。
鮫の量については、なんだかんだそんなに見られないかと思っていましたが、呼び寄せ方があるようでたくさん見ることができました。
先に船の上から朝日で蛍光色に浮かび上がるシルエットを見た時が1番怖さを感じたのですが、ゲージにガシガシ突進してくる鮫ではなかったので、程よく満足。
加えて、口コミにもあったのでシュノーケルセットは持ち込みました。
ノースの綺麗な朝の景色も見られ、鮫もたくさん見たのでこの1回で大満足です。

We did several activities in Hawaii but if I had to choose one as my favorite, it would be this one. You get to do a little bit of everything, it’s like the whole Hawaii experience. This is great family tour. I loved it so much! Plus the buffet dinner is included which was amazing! The night show for me was the best part. I can’t describe how much I loved it!

We had an amazing experience, saw so many sea turtles. Our guide was great and he gave us tips and locations to visit on our trip. This is a phenomenal experience and I would highly recommend again!

The guide shared various stories about Hawaii during the trip, which was very informative. In Haleiwa Town, we were first given a tour of the restrooms and attractions by car, and then we had free time to explore, so we could enjoy sightseeing without getting lost. I think it was a good decision to take the tour since it would take a long time to go by bus.

道中にガイドさんがいろいろなハワイの話をしてくれて勉強になりました。ハレイワタウンも最初に車で一通りトイレや見どころなどの案内をされてから自由行動でしたので、迷わずに観光できました。バスで行くと時間がかかるのでツアーにしてよかったと思います。

I had plenty of time, about 5 hours, so I was able to wait in line for the always-crowded Matsumoto Shave Ice and Garlic Shrimp, and enjoy shopping at a leisurely pace. The driver was also kind, and I had a fun day.

たっぷり5時間あるので、いつも行列のマツモトシェイブアイスやガーリックシュリンプに並んだり、ショッピングをゆっくり楽しむことができました。ドライバーさんも親切で楽しい１日を過ごせました。

First, regarding the location, it's fine to meet at the intersection with traffic lights. There’s a sign right nearby.

The guide is really great, so even those who are not good at English will be totally fine.

It's a more authentic course than you might think. Your clothes and face will get dirty. At the end, there are wet wipes available, and there’s also a simple wash station to clean up. I've been to Hawaii several times, but this is the most interesting experience, so I highly recommend it to everyone. It’s about a 40 to 50-minute taxi ride from Waikiki hotels, costing around $60.

まず、
