All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

This time, we gathered locally by rental car. First, we went to a restaurant and enjoyed a delicious buffet-style meal. After that, when we went to the venue to see the show, there were many spectators in the large hall. They presented the origins and history of the Polynesian people through moving dances and expressions. Everyone performed excellently, and it was breathtaking. The evening performance, which involved fire, was particularly impressive. You don't often get to see such a powerful show. It's a bit far from downtown Honolulu, but I think it's worth a visit.

今回、レンタカーにて現地集合しました。まず、レストランに行き、ビュフェスタイルの美味しい食事をしました。その後、ショーを見る為に会場に行くと大きな会場に大勢の観客がいらっしゃいました。ポリネシア民族の生い立ちや歴史を感動的なダンスや表現で行ってくれました。皆さん上手に行われており圧巻でした。火を使って表現しますので夜の部隊は感動的でした。こんな迫力のあるショーは中々見れませんよ。ホノルル市内からはちょっと遠いですが、一見の価値ありと思います。

This is far the best show we attended in Hawaii. I hate to see the same shows but this one we will definitely go back and see again. I would highly recommend getting a tour guide to make your experience that much better. Place is huge and will need at least 2 days to see all the villages.

Night show left me speechless and in Awe. I didn't want to end and didn't blink once. Great performers and comedy show.

Absolutely amazing!!
There are so many views that you can only see by skydiving, and you get a sensation like nothing you've ever felt before.
The person who dove with me was incredibly cool! They really tried to ease my nerves by talking to me a lot, and we had a fun conversation; they were very kind. I regretted not being able to speak more English during my week in Hawaii...
If I ever come back to Hawaii, I definitely want to do it again, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii.

とにかく最高！！
スカイダイビングしないと見れない景色がいっぱいですし、今までに感じた事ないような感覚が得られます。
一緒にダイブしてくれる人もめちゃくちゃカッコ良い！緊張をほぐそうとしてくれてるのか、すごく話しかけてくれて楽しく会話してくれて、優しい方でした。もっと英語が話せたらと、1週間のハワイで一番後悔しました、、
もしまたハワイに来る事があれば、絶対にやりたいですし、これからハワイ旅行を控えている人がいれば絶対オススメしたいです。

Wonderful trip around the island and informative and enjoyable day / night at the Polynesian centre and luau

We celebrated our June birthdays with a glorious 1 hr trail ride at your ranch on Tues June 6. The wranglers starting with Tate and the other girls were professional, extremely nice and treated us all like royalty! Our horses were gentle and extremely professional as well. The sights were magnificent and we would highly recommend the Gunstock Ranch to any tourists and locales visiting the North Shore!

I participated with my parents. I've been to the North Shore many times, but this was my first time horseback riding there! It was fun to see the ocean while riding. My parents enjoyed it too. However, there was absolutely no service, like taking photos for us, and in the end, we had to ask for a picture, but there was no communication at all, so we weren't even sure if it was taken or not... (laughs) I thought they could be a bit friendlier. (laughs) It had been a while since I visited Haleiwa, and I was surprised at how much it had changed. (laughs) Overall, the tour was very good!

両親と参加しました。
ノースは何度も行ってますが、ノースでの乗馬は初めて！
海を見ながら、楽しかったです。両親も楽しんでました。
ただ、写真を撮ってくれたりなどサービスが全くなく、最後にお願いして撮ってもらいましたが、声かけもなにもなく、撮れているんだかないんだかで。。（苦笑）もう少し愛想よくすればいいのに・・と思いました。（笑）
久々のハレイワ、あまりに変わっててびっくりしました。（笑）
ツアー的には、とてもよかったです！

I arrived at the venue about three hours early without a shuttle service, but I didn't know that I needed to exchange my voucher for tickets at the ticket booth. I was informed by a staff member just before the show, and when I exchanged the tickets, I ended up with seats several rows back. I thought that when I paid through Bertelmann, I had already secured my seats. If I had known this, I might have purchased tickets directly at the booth as soon as I arrived, which could have gotten me better seats. It's disappointing that even though I reserved premium seats, it didn't pay off. I probably won't order show tickets through Bertelmann again.

送迎なしにしていて、３時間位前に現地に到着したのだけど、チケットブースでバウチャーとチケットを交換するのを知らず、直前に現地の係員に、知らされて、チケットを交換したら、数列目の席だった。ベルトルさんで決済したときに座席を取っているとばかり思っていたので、こんなことなら、着いたらすぐに直接チケットブースでチケットを購入した方がもっと前方のせきだったかもしれない。せっかくプレミアム席を予約したのに、予約の甲斐がなかったです。ショーのチケットはもうベルトルさんでは頼まないかな・・。

On May 31, 2017, my husband and I participated! Recently, ziplining has become popular in Japan, and we were very interested. At that time, I happened to find this perfect site while browsing and immediately made a reservation!

On the day of the event, they picked us up at a nearby hotel, and we headed to Keana Farm with the other participants! Besides us, all four other couples were from English-speaking countries, and our driver couldn't speak Japanese, which made us a bit anxious. However, there was an instructor on-site who was fluent in Japanese, which put us at ease.

We put on our gear and got started! I thought the first line would be a bit scary, but it turned out to be an amazing thrill! While moving around the farm in a buggy, the instructor was kind, fun, and safety-conscious, and before we knew it, our enjoyable time had flown by. I felt like Spider-Man amidst the magnificent nature of Hawaii.

2017/5/31に、夫婦で参加いたしました！日本でも、最近はジップラインができてきて
興味深々でした。そんな時に、丁度サイトを見ていたら絶好なの見付け即、予約！
当日、近くのホテルまで迎えにきて頂き、他の参加者といざ、ケアナファームへ！
私達、夫婦以外は4組全員英語圏の方でドライバーさんも、日本語は出来ずちょい不安でしたが
現地の、インストラクターに日本語が堪能な方がいて、安心しました。
装備を付け、いざ開始！1本目は、ちょいと怖いかと思いましたがイヤイヤ最高な爽快感！
ファームの中を、バギーで移動しながらインストラクターの方が親切に、楽しく安全に、
配慮しながら進み、あっと言うまに楽しい時間が過ぎました。ハワイの壮大な自然の中を、
スパイダーマンになった気分でした。

The weather in Hawaii is unpredictable. Just when I thought it was going to rain, it cleared up and a rainbow appeared. The dive from 4,000 feet was thrilling, and the beautiful views of Hawaii's sky, mountains, and ocean were truly amazing! Also, the instructors were handsome (there are various types, but they were great)! I think those who are prone to motion sickness or on windy days should take precautions.

ハワイの天気は変わりやすい。雨だと思ったら晴れて虹がでた。上空4000からのダイブはスリル満点でハワイの美しい空と山と海の景色は本当に素晴らしい！そして、インストラクターがイケメン(色々な方がいますが)で素敵でした！風が強い日や酔いやすい方は対策が必要だと思います。

Had a great time swimming with the sharks even though it was in a cage. It was a little windy and the waves were rocking the boat so make sure you can take the rough waters. One got really sick from the motion but only one. It was really fun and well worth it. These sharks were very docile but swam by gracefully for some really good picture taking. I nor anyone on the boat ever felt unsafe swimming with the sharks. So much fun.

There were various dishes, and all of them were delicious! The show was performed by a large group, which made it very impressive and moving! The fire dance, in particular, was entertaining, with everyone, both kids and adults, laughing!

料理もいろいろあり、どれも美味しかったです！ショーも大人数でやるので迫力がありとても感動しました！特にファイヤーダンスは子供も大人もみんな笑っていて面白かったです！

The Polynesian Cultural Center presented shows from the various groups that make up the Hawaiian Culture. The final show was good but too long and the food at the Luau was OK but nothing spectacular.

An absolute must do. My wife did not want to go in, but through the reassurance of the guys she did and was happy she did. The crew was great. At first there is lots of anxiety and then it lessens. Swimming with those majestic animals is beyond words. It must be experience. Again thanks guys

Emily was an excellent tour guide! Me and my 2 adult sons went on this activity and had a great time. We would definitely do it again. Thank you Emily for being an awesome tour guide.

Can't say enough about how awesome this was! Wish I could do it every day. Was quite nervous at first but once you get in the water it is so calming to just watch the sharks in their world. The Island View guys were great, gave us all the info we needed before getting in and answered all of our questions.

My only advice for the company is to give a bit more instruction on finding you at the harbor - all we really had was the name of the boat (which is outdated) and we can't exactly walk the whole place reading boat names. We found them eventually and all was well.

If you have the time, this is absolutely a must-do in Oahu. You won't regret it.

Although we arrived at the site early to do paper work and all, the office staff were rude. When I asked a question I was given a short snappy reply with th a quick closure of the sliding window on my face. No further questions could be asked afterwards. At the end during payment transaction for pictures and videos, they had no record of prior payment for the jumps I made and double charged me. They needed to take the time to answer questions at the beginning or explain the process for charges, or at least take the time to go over the charges as they asked for payments. When I tried to explain that I was being double charged, they got irritated that I didn't let them know at the beginning. They are running a high risk business, therefore they need to demonstrate complete confidence and accuracy to customers in all aspects of the business from the beginning to the end.

This is my husband's fourth time in Hawaii, and since he has never seen a dance at this cultural center, I recommended it as someone who has seen it several times. I have taken hula and Tahitian dance lessons and have practiced with the dancers here, so I have seen their practice sessions. Being professionals, their practice was quite thorough. I think the dancers have a high level of awareness.

The dance has a storyline, and my husband really enjoyed it. I'm glad I recommended it! If you haven't been to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I definitely encourage you to go at least once.

As for the buffet, the variety of dishes was surprisingly limited and incomplete. However, there were plenty of crabs, so it might be good for crab lovers.

　今回ハワイが4回目になる主人は、このカルチャーセンターでのダンスを観たことがないので、何回か観たことのある私がおすすめしました。フラとタヒチアンダンスを習っている私は、ここのダンサーと一緒にレッスンしたこともあり、練習風景を見たことがあります。プロなだけあって、練習もしっかりしたものでした。ダンサーの意識が高いと思います。
　ダンスはストーリー性になっていて、主人もすごく楽しんでいました。おすすめした甲斐がありました(^^)v。
　ハワイと言えば、ポリネシアン文化センターだと思いますので、行ったことのない方は、一度是非行ってみてください。
　ビュッフェは、料理の品数が意外に少なく不完全でした。カニがたくさんあったので、カニ好きにはいいかもしれません。

Pilot was awesome.answered my many questions. Scenery was gorgeous

Wicked cool Will be doing it again.The insteuctors were awesome.

It was an early morning gathering, but skydiving cleared my sleepiness. The weather was perfect with clear skies, and although I was nervous since it was my first time, it became a fun memory.

早朝早い時間の集合でしたが、スカイダイビングして眠気もすっきりしました。
天気も快晴で申し分のないコンディションでした。
初めてで緊張しましたが楽しい思い出になりました。

My brother and I have long been shark fans. As a keen diver I've seen the occasional reef shark but wanted to see something bigger. We went out on the boat (limited to 6 of us) and after a short ride arrived at the site where we spent probably half an hour by the boat (holding onto the lines) then free swimming and diving with Galapagos and Sandbar sharks (around 40 at one point but always at least 15 around us at varying depths). There were multiple times when we could have touched one with a flipper they were that close but we didn't feel threatened at all (although i would be lying if I said we weren't a bit scared). There was only one shark that bared his teeth to us which was amazing to view and again not threatening. The staff made us feel very safe and are very passionate about the sharks. I've dived around the world but never come across an opportunity to swim with this many large sharks in the wild. I cannot recommend this enough. #HelpSaveSharks

The weather was great, the scenery was amazing, especially the beautiful sea. The horses were very well trained, and I had a lot of fun. I would like to use this service again.

天気もとってもよくて、景色は最高だし＜特に海がきれい＞馬もとてもしつけされていて大変楽しめました。また利用したいです。

This was an amazing experience. The staff was so helpful and entertaining. We heard a lot of historic info about the farm and its operatiion along the way. The equipment , platforms, rope bridges, and rapeling lines were awesome. The views were absolutely breathtaking! It was one of my favorite activities I did while on the island!

Originally, I hoped to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center from the afternoon to the evening, but it was fully booked. I ended up joining the morning tour, and I was very satisfied!

The bus guide's stories about Hawaii were enjoyable, and when it was time to say goodbye, I genuinely felt that I wanted to come back.

In the afternoon at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I had lunch and explored each village. On the flight there, I watched "Moana" and realized that they really lived a similar lifestyle, which made me feel the resilience of humanity.

The show of climbing the palm trees was breathtaking! I was amazed by the incredible speed and height!

This is a recommended spot to visit when you come to Hawaii!

元々ポリネシアカルチャーセンター着からの
昼から夜希望でしたが、予約でいっぱい。
朝一からのツアーになりましたが大満足でした！

バスガイドさんのハワイ話は楽しく
別れの時にはまた来たいと素直に感じました。

昼からポリネシアカルチャーセンターで
昼食から各村を見学。
行きの飛行機でモアナと伝説の海を見ましたが
本当に同じような生活をしていたのだと実感し
人間の逞しさを感じました。

ヤシの木を登るショーは圧巻！
尋常じゃないスピードと高さに度肝抜かれました！

ハワイにきたら行ったほうがいいオススメスポットです！

Since it was our honeymoon, I wanted to do something unforgettable, so I decided to participate. Right after signing up, I was anxious and worried about accidents and various things, but now I realize those worries were completely unnecessary. It was truly exhilarating, and you can enjoy views that can only be experienced through skydiving! My husband, who dove with me, and I are happy to share that emotional experience together for years to come. If anyone is hesitating, I definitely recommend participating!

ハネムーンだったので何か一生忘れられないことがやりたいと思い参加することを決めました。申し込んだ直後は事故とか色々考え不安になっていましたが、今となっては全くそんな心配いらなかったなとおもいます。本当に気持ちよくて、スカイダイビングでしか味わえない景色を堪能できます！また一緒にダイブした夫とこれからずっとあの感動体験を共有できるのが嬉しいねと話しています。迷っている方がいたらぜひ参加することをオススメします！

I usually ride in British style, but this time I went for a Western style trail ride. Surprisingly, it was easy and enjoyable, making it suitable for beginners as well. The magnificent scenery from the hill along the way is beyond words. I was satisfied to experience the great nature of Hawaii.

いつもは、ブリティッシュスタイルで乗馬をしてますが、今回は、ウエスタンスタイルでの外乗でした。
案外、簡単で楽しく初めての方でも楽しめる内容です。
途中の丘から観てる壮大な景観は言葉にできないくらい最高です。
ハワイの大自然に触れることが出来て満足でした。

The local staff's response was good. They also introduced a great place for lunch with delicious garlic shrimp. I would like to mention that the response from the VELTRA staff was not very satisfactory, and it was quite difficult until my reservation was confirmed.

現地の担当スタッフの対応が良かったです。
昼食も美味しいガーリックシュンリンプのお店を紹介してくれました。
VELTRAのスタッフの人の対応がいまいちで、予約が確定するまで大変だったことを申し添えます。

Ask for Warren! He's the man. Great teacher and very entertaining.

Our guide Justin was great,couldn't have had a more informative person. His personality made the tour,along with the way he helped everyone special needs

The Ambassador pass was outstanding! The tour guide was perfect, the shows were fabulous. Food was delicious. The whole day was amazing!
